I was thinking of a Breitling Emergency Mission as a 3rd watch, behind my 2 Submariners (Blue TT and SS). This Breitling looks nice, but personally I think the TT Blue Sub is the most beautiful watch out there.

Only issue, and to me its a big issue, is that Breitling resalve values are absolutely poo! I have owned a crosswind for about four years (certainly doesnt feel like a ladies watch to me, you need arms like charles atlas to carry it around) and I was recently quoted a value price of £1200...........Damn, it cost me £3,360.
I suppose the moral is, dont buy one unless you intend to keep it. That is what I now intend to do.
Servicing ????? Hasnt needed one. Reliability???? Yep, except it winds down faster than the Sub when not worn.

Personal taste is everything! I am happy you enjoy your watch. For me Breitling is just too fussy looking!

Breitling

I just added a NOS Titanium with Ti bracelet Breitling Emergency with blue dial to my collection. Now I can be as true to something blue as JJ!
