No longer riding the Rolex train...

I've been riding the Rolex train for so long, I almost forgot what a nice watch Breitling makes.

I caught a deal on the Transocean as it has been discontinued. Love the retro look and that bracelet!

Congrats, I’m a great fan of 3 6 9 subdials and the majority of my collection is on mesh,so a very good choice in my opinion.

Very nice looking watch, congratulations!

My only comment would be, why the addition of the date window? I recognise they have to reuse movements but sometimes less is more and I would have preferred the dial without that date showing.

Breitling bouncing back I hope!

Um, isn't the purpose of the date window to show the date?

Nice. I love the transocean line. Classy, but not overly dressed up. Solid watch.
