...the AD knew I was looking for a bracelet watch in 44mm and called me with this one at a great price. Decided what the heck and am glad I did.

Breitling Steelfish, 44mm on the older Pro 1 bracelet. Great lume and wears great on the wrist. Don't ask about accuracy, since I could care less, but it is around the same time as my cell phone, good enough for me. :-)

Superb pick-up, Daren. I've seen that one at Watches of Switzerland and was very impressed with its heft and finish.

Congrats....until the next one comes along!!

Launch Mini · 8 June 2007, 02:43 PM

Looks great Daren.
Last time I saw that one, I recall there may have been a little dirt/watercress/soot/pork attaced to it

LOL! You can attest for me m8, when I say a watch is a beater, I mean it.

Lol-x · 8 June 2007, 03:06 PM

C.J. · 8 June 2007, 08:20 PM

That looks great, D

Even better than you described

Uncle-AJ · 8 June 2007, 08:37 PM

Nice looking watch Daren, congratulations.

Mort · 8 June 2007, 10:14 PM

Great looking watch Daren. Cant believe that is a "beater".

krlyuzh · 9 June 2007, 12:42 AM

oh yea, very nice. These sell like coffee in the mornings. For the price, its a very nice 'daily'

roadcarver · 9 June 2007, 12:57 AM

That is a beauty Daren! Congrats... and super photos!

G.J · 9 June 2007, 05:58 AM

Excellent...BIG CONGRATS..!!

morgman · 9 June 2007, 08:12 AM

Very cool! I like those watches a lot.

TARDIS · 11 June 2007, 05:18 PM

Good buy Daren!

They go back a long way and have a great record of reliability.

My favorite is the SO with all arabic indices.

mailman · 11 June 2007, 07:31 PM

Nice watch Daren

I like the circles on the dial, and how it looks like the dial sits down quite a bit beneath the crystal.

leopardprey · 11 June 2007, 09:48 PM

Nice watch and very rugged!

dman · 12 June 2007, 12:25 PM

Thanks guys, wearing it right now and just like the way this one wears!!

Hard to capture this dial with the AR coating on both sides, but I will continue to try.

Tools · 12 June 2007, 02:28 PM

Stunning. I've always liked Brietlings and when I flew a lot, I planned for one to be my "next" watch, but it never was.

Now the dials are too busy for me to see - I have enough trouble with the date on my Sub.

Edensknight · 12 June 2007, 05:58 PM

What a beautiful timepiece. Breitling offers a fine line of extraordinary watches. In fact, I am quite partial to the Windrider Chronomat Evolution line, myself!

Rockrolex · 12 June 2007, 11:44 PM

Very nice, D. Shame it won't be around very long.

roadcarver · 13 June 2007, 12:21 AM

That's why Dman does not have buyer's remorse! I think he already sold his Omega
