Do you like this shiny watch?

The_Blob · 09-04-2008, 12:30 AM

Is it good looking or tacky? Yeah, I'm thinking about buying it.

What are your first impressions if you saw someone wearing it?

That's not my wrist though.

hakaida442 · 09-04-2008, 12:43 AM

never liked breitlings. too busy looking. how about iwc or blancpain?

The_Blob · 09-04-2008, 12:45 AM

I believe that this is one of the least busy Breitlings out there. Also, the 24 hour markings are cool and useful for my work. I like IWC pilot watches with their leather bands but I want something a little more practical. Also, I think IWC watches are so plain and understated to the point of being boring.

That's soooo gonna be pulling out your arm hairs.

Heh, no, but I have a similar amount of hair on my wrist, and a watch with a band like that, and unless I keep it really tight it yanks out hair when it moves.

I like it a lot. IMO you can't go wrong with a Breitling!

Well, just to let you now, the wrist pics that you see aren't my wrist. I'll definately have to try it out if it's really comfortable or not.

TurboFan · 09-04-2008, 01:41 AM

you won't have any problem with the Breit bracelet. The pro2 in the picture is very comfortable. I like the Skyland Avenger better, or the Super Avenger. But you need clubs for forearms to pull off the Super Avenger.

try Rolex GMT II, or new Sea dweller Deepsea

the colt is 1/3 the price of a GMT and 1/5 of the price of a seadweller.

Great looking watch for the price. did not realize they made it in full polish. the white dial also looks good.

SES_D · 09-04-2008, 01:56 AM

it's cool but the look is too "busy" for my taste

im spencer · 09-04-2008, 02:38 AM

Iwc is the way to go!! im rockin the Pilot's Watch mark. Its sharp, classy, lowkey, and comfortable to boot. Probably the best watch and the most fitting piece for any occasion:

Year's_End · 09-04-2008, 03:26 AM

Wow, OP, that's the best Breitling I've ever seen. Usually I'm not a fan of Breitlings but this is different!

Personally I would wear this one before the busy/flashy/bulky/heavy B.

OO---OO · 09-04-2008, 06:21 AM

My first thought is Malibus most wanted.

iatacs19 · 09-04-2008, 07:47 AM

Very nice watch!

Need trim down those arm hairs though. j/k

What's busy about that watch?

I like it. Buy it, and fuck what other people think. It only matters that you like it.
