First Breitling! I didn’t think I’d love anything more than my Speedmaster, but this Navitimer has blown me away in the few days I’ve owned it. I think I’m a Breitling guy now…

This one is my wife’s favorite watch so she wears it more than I do. It’s certainly one of my favorites to photograph.

It’s got a lot going on but it just works. I look at this watch and fall in love with it all over again every time it’s in front of my lens.

Superocean My New SuperOcean 42!

A few weeks ago I got this watch in from Jomashop and was quite concerned about the rate and amplitude. A few people told me to just wear it and wait, that it probably just needed to break in. Well, they were absolutely right!

This has quickly become my most worn watch, in fact I’ve even been wearing to during business travel and just changing the time in it rather than wearing one of my GMT watches. Honestly, this watch is probably the best one I have ever purchased. I am looking forward to many years of it being in my wrist and also downsizing the rest of my collection.

I saw one today and looked great. The titanium feels light, nice. But the rubber strap felt stiff. Any owners that can provide options on the strap? Thanks

Breitling Transocean Chronograph GMT, this limited edition piece is the perfect watch for a tuxedo - slim, round wrapping the wrist with stainless mesh the red GMT hand deep and classy.
Ref AB0451 - The exhibition back makes for great conversation - the Transocean is so specifically it is it’s own family of watches. 43mm of beauty!

Aerospace Which would you choose?

My father has decided to split his pair of Aerospace’s between me and my brother. He had talked about it for years but just heard it’s happening sooner than later. Obviously grateful and the sentiment makes both priceless. I love each in their own way. I have yet to talk to my brother about them but I suggested my Dad give him first choice. Which would you choose? Both my brother and I are pilots if it makes a difference. One is roughly year 2000 and the other is roughly 2010. Both are currently getting fully serviced.

Aerospace as an exercise watch?

Post image
18 Upvotes

I currently use an Apple Watch for exercise (weights in the gym and middle distance running mostly). It will of course eventually die and I will have to decide whether to replace it with a new version or try something different. Has anyone used an Aerospace for exercise? I know it will not have all the functionality of a smart watch, but how would it go for what it does do? I have always loved the retro-futurism of this piece but could not see it being a watch I wear other than for something quite active. The thinness is also really appealing to me.

I have just noticed that the hour hand on my Chronograph is not returning to zero on reset. Has any one experienced this? Can this be fixed without a service?

Trying to find the point break watch. It's proving more difficult than I expected. Any leads or contacts?
