I love it, I love it, I freaking love it!!! Great looking strap combo with the rubber too. What a beauty of a watch mate. I like the props too.

BruceS · 2 February 2006, 03:10 PM

Thanks Daren! It's a nice rubber strap. A bit expensive, but you know OEM. Very cool buckle too. I meant to take a pic of it but I forgot

dman · 2 February 2006, 03:15 PM

I missed the intro post, so give me the tale of tape please, you know case diameter etc...It is a great looking watch, now that is three Breitlings that I have seen that I like, all three belong to members here.

BruceS · 2 February 2006, 03:22 PM

It's about 42x15mm. Fairly heavy on the bracelet, but very balanced and comfortable on the wrist. Straps take away a little of the shiney bling. I really like these watches. I've missed the black dial one ever since I sold it. With a discount, they are really affordable too. I think the SO is a great bargain these days!
Cheers,
Bruce

I guess now we all know why I love BLUE!! Great pics, Bruce!! Lookin' good!

dman · 2 February 2006, 03:27 PM

One more question, I assume this is getting the wrist time being so new, but are the others fairly stable in the collection?

Yeah absolutely. The only reason I would sell anything is if I needed the money for this move. The house painting is costing a lot, but I think I can get through it before the rest of my money comes through. If I sold anything, it would be the GMT. I love the watch, but do I really need a GMT if I'm living at GMT?

Really, I don't plan on selling anything.

I know you are still gonna be the same phone call away, or more like Skype now but I am gonna miss you my brother!! You are my idol. That begs a question though, why do I need two GMT's if I don't even know where the hell GMT time originates.

I'll miss just being able to call you on the mobile too Daren. I think I'm gonna have to start turning my skype on

Awesome pics Bruce

Glad you're enjoying it.

padi56 · 2 February 2006, 08:28 PM

Great pictures Bruce,not a huge modern Brietling fan, but like that blue
rubber strap.

C.J. · 3 February 2006, 02:07 AM

That looks great Bruce, I love the rubber strap

Rockrolex · 3 February 2006, 02:56 AM

Lovely shade of blue, Bruce. Great pics of a great watch.

3 February 2006, 03:34 AM

Great pix, as always Bruce. Love the rubber strap!

BruceS · 3 February 2006, 11:13 AM

Thanks guys! Just to shake things up a bit (only the Paneristi may like this)

The strap is Hirsch Liberty and looks and feels like a Strapmasters. I love it on this watch, but I'll understand if some of the less adventurous think it looks wierd

lurch · 3 February 2006, 11:19 AM

bruce that brown strap looks a lot better than the rubber one mate, much classier

i am buying a second-hand superocean, though mine will be a tasteless yellow colour dial, but im just buying it cos its too cheap to pass up

i might fit it with a nice brown strap though and see if i can make it presentable

dman · 3 February 2006, 11:45 AM

I am feeling it pal, I like the brown, and if it feels like a SM it must be rock solid on the wrist.

I just got a DIRK SWP chocolate in the mail today, I'll try to post some pics a bit later.

BruceS · 3 February 2006, 12:24 PM

Cool! I'm looking forward to pics!!

Hey Lurch - I like the yellow dial SO. Actually, I like the orange dial too (Ed will vomit, lol)

Go for it, but I think it looks best on black. JMO :)
