Breitling & Rolex

After many years of being an avid Breitling fan I recently purchased my first ever Rolex, an Explorer 11 Polar White. I still love my Aerospace the best though W18W5083_5 (1).JPG

I currently have the Avenger Blackbird 44 in black titanium. I love it! It's perfect when I'm out casually in jeans. There are many other Breitlings that I like as well. Like the Superocean II 44, Avenger II GMT, Superocean Heritage and others.

I have had a Galactic and a Seawolf that I didn't like as much so I flipped them.

I been wanting to buy a headwind, but I never see, or hear anything about them. Anyone own one, or have something good to say about them?

The Headwind is a fantastic watch. It is large and in charge if your reference for a day/date is a Rolex. They were only offered for a few years and then Breitling stopped making them. They do that, sometimes inexplicably, which confounds Breitling fans. I owned one but had to sell to make room for my favorite Breitling, a limited edition piece. Here's my old one.



I have owned several, and the quality is excellent. My "Big 4" look like this:

Just added my first Breitling to the collection a week or two ago . It is a VERY nice watch especially considering I got a great deal on it preowned.

Thanks! Best watch buy I've made in a long time. I also have a black alligator strap with contrast stitching on the way for it. Should look really sharp.

Thanks! It's an A13352, a late model (40mm) Chronomat GT produced circa 2004-2006 just before Breitling went to the larger Chronomat Evolution.

Sure. I have a Superocean II, kind of like you're pondering, and like others have said above, I use it in a beaterish fashion. For that kind of use I do recommend the rubber strap though, as the bracelet IS highly polished and does show hairlines easily.

Just bought this one this morning and on its way to my wrist . . .

And I was thinking that I would never ever buy a Breitling

So from now on this will be my DB
