ideas and suggestions - 3 hands, 6 hands/many hands and digi/ana combo?

what would be "THE" Breitling of your choice?

(reason of the thread - thinking of adding a "B" to my modest collection)

EDIT - oh, BTW, would appreciated if there are pix, as my Breitling knowledge is very limted

I HAVE "the" Breitling of my choice...

I like the Datora. Looks great, a lot of complications for the price. Basically a beefed up Navitimer.

psv · 25 June 2011, 06:42 AM

The new Navitimer with the 01 movement.

dddrees · 25 June 2011, 07:10 AM

Eric, the Navitimer World is the one I chose. I chose this one because I like the idea of the Navitimer, but I liked the larger size of this version and the Red GMT hand.

esm · 25 June 2011, 07:33 AM

thanks guys - lovely watches

looks like the busier dial combo is the way to go for the Breitling fans.

how about those cleaner/simpler dial B's? they dont seem to be around in the wild too often IMO....

Gerardus · 25 June 2011, 08:00 AM

Mine, the SO !!!!!!

Wrist Candy · 25 June 2011, 08:15 AM

I know that you like green so have a look at the new green faced Breitling for Bentley.

It is absolutly stunning in person.

I have a 2004 SO by the way.

Ultraman · 25 June 2011, 05:12 PM

Check out this link, Eric.

My favorite Breitling will be the Airwolf and Chronomat B01.

i wish i hadnt read that... (couldnt understand a thing

)

The Joker · 26 June 2011, 07:20 AM

Navitimer

vukotab · 26 June 2011, 11:25 AM

Chronomat!
Actually, I like B01 (like Mark`s) very much, even more than standard 7750 Chronomat, but classic is - classic.

jms_w · 26 June 2011, 11:40 AM

The Navitimer is pretty iconic and dates back to the 1940's with very little change in design.

kareemthedream33 · 26 June 2011, 11:46 AM

Just bought this beauty from DavidSW, should have it by Monday. I have three rolexes and this will be my first Breitling, I'm excited go try something new.

esm · 27 June 2011, 12:34 AM

thanks guys.

thought i was able to "scratch the itch" yesterday... but there was a little twist to the situation..... im hoping to have it sorted early in the week.

will report back soon... i hope.

in case you are wondering - hint: it comes in mesh bracelet

Hmm, let me guess, starts with an "S" and ends with an "N"?

TattooedGQ · 28 June 2011, 05:44 AM

Wouldn't that be beginning with a "S" and ends with a "8" or "6" - depending on whether it is a "Super Ocean Heritage 38" or a "Super Ocean Heritage 46"?!?
