Unexpectedly back in Breitling!
Hi everyone, just wanted to share a little story of how I ended up back in Breitling after about 9 years of absence. Firstly, I had been focused on adding to my panerai collection with a radiomir 292, I have been admiring this watch for some time. Anyway, I had been in Orlando for a week with my young family doing the whole Disney World experience which was amazing and on shopping adventures my wife and I ended up at a AD of panerai, which happened to have a 292, which I tried on and was somewhat disappointed with my reaction. I wasn't thrilled about it on my wrist. So, back it went on tho the display, then my wife suggested I add another IWC to my collection and looked at the Galapagos which just looked to plasticky for the price.....then she saw the Breitling store and said to take a look. Immediately she scoped out my new purchase the Superocean M2000, with the green accents on the chrono, nice watch and nice wrist presence. Very happy with it so far.

Will do Dan, many of the boys back home are very impressed with the asthetics of that watch, in fact, one of them said that is the nicest looking Breitling he has ever seen....I told him to take a look at the lineup of Breitling as they are very attractive!!

I like the brand and this watch... The two top dials take some getting used to (for me).
Great watch for the price point. |

Congrats on the new pickup! That is an awesome piece. That bezel, the matte dial, the rubber strap with the green accent, is an absolute killer look.
