Picking up my Breitling this evening

[Johnniem]

Have ordered a Breitling Ocean Heritage 46 and am picking it up today (actually my wife is!). It took ages toget to the shop as I chose the one with the blue dial (allegedly on a 6 month delivery but ended up as a few weeks). My first "proper good" watch purchased with my own 'hard earned'. Currently sporting a 46 year old Rolex Oyster Perpetual but wouldn't choose it if I was buying one. Couldn't keep it to myself guys, sorry! Currently looking for a 'woo hoo' smiley!

I have a soft spot fror Breitlings - I know they have their knockers around here, but I do love them. My favourite has to be the Navitimer Cosmonaute, with the 24 hour dial - how cool?

Hope that you are very happy with your purchase!

Classic strap for me. It reminds me of an old Omega Seamaster I used to have back in the 80's

I am now wearing it as I type and I LOVE IT! Thanks for the best wishes guys (especially the woo hoo!).

That is next on my list, but Brietling has just introduced a SuperOcean Hertiage 46 Chorongraph - that is moving the goalposts if you ask me, and now can't decide which one to go for.

Agreed. I find some of the range a tad 'busy' in pictures, but when I saw Bentley range in real life they drew the eye like very few pieces can.

They look great Don, but try living with one. I had a beautiful 1960's original Navitimer Cosmonaute, a stunning watch. It drove me , reading the time from a 24 hour dial just isn't natural. It's like somebody reversing the alphabet!
