Breitling Transocean 01 Chronograph

Breitling Watches - Transocean 01 Chronograph Stainless SteelStyle No: AB015112/BA59-ocean-classic-steel.

Hi everyone, What do u think of this model?
What is cost on Breitling? Does this model limited 2000 pc. will hold values one day? I am thinking to add this to my collection. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Mike

the black dial and mesh bracelet combo is particularly striking, IMO.

I think it's a very nice watch and should be a good seller.

i think overall its a great looking piece. very classy. as for the whole LE thing...thats a different matter. personally i dont really buy into it. Im a huge Breitling guy and have admired and own the brand for a while. so what i am saying may come as a shock....but they dont hold their value very well. given the fact of deep consumer discounts, regardless of the fact that they are LE's

Thanks. I was told that LE means nothing to them.

when you make a run of 2000 pieces and call that an LE i think its more marketing than anything. couple of year back Breitling did a super averger black steel. i think there were 2000 or 2500 Pieces this was suppose to be an LE and you can still find them around today. just gimicky really.

Nice looking watch. Get it only if you like it, because who knows what the future will bring.

LE isn't really anything to be excited about with Breightling....I do love the watch though. The LE has the display caseback, too, which is pretty cool, and the normal model won't include it.

It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It's strange that Breitling should be the company to remember what a beautiful design this was. Rolex should be the one making it (still).

This is a very attractive piece. It is also quite a classic , timeless look - so will not date like models such as the Superocean Abyss or B01 - with their gaudy fonts.
