Here are the cases

Jeffa32 · 13 February 2014, 08:36 AM

Yep. A superocean steelfish silver dial and DDII blue dial

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?

Hobart · 13 February 2014, 10:12 AM

I have a Super Ocean Steelfish in my collection. I really like that watch and i wear it more in the summer with short sleeves.

Argo98 · 13 February 2014, 07:19 PM

I love my soh 46!

WyoWatch · 14 February 2014, 01:34 AM

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.

boogiebot · 14 February 2014, 02:55 PM

i have had quite a few Breitlings over the years but now I am down to one. the chronomat evo white dial with romans. classic Breitling IMO.

Brisman · 14 February 2014, 09:07 PM

It's very nice indeed.

Which model is it?

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

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:

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.

Kingair · 19 February 2014, 12:54 PM

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

The Transocean Date rounds out my collection

bcy2290 · 24 February 2014, 02:35 AM

My Breitling is a Avenger Black Steel "Code Black" 159/200 I love the watch

Three Rolex, Two Omega, One Cartier, One Tag Heuer, One Longines and one Special Ops which is a cool looking military watch
I will post pictures soon

GoldenBear · 24 February 2014, 02:58 AM

I have an Emergency Mission. Really love it. Going through my wearing it phase.

Roller07 · 27 February 2014, 03:33 AM

Yep, I have a Breitling I bought new in '96. Great watch. I love it.

Mr. Din · 27 February 2014, 01:18 PM

Yawn · 27 February 2014, 09:02 PM

I got one each. Nothing fancy.

GTS Dean · 27 February 2014, 10:20 PM

Just one.

Tha Baron · 5 March 2014, 12:37 PM

I owned a Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish from 2006-2010 when I traded it in For a Panerai (believe it for $400 more than what I paid in 2006). Ended up trading that Panerai for PAM 312 which I ultimately traded in for new Rolex. I guess Breitling brought me to Rolex!

Breitling has an odd brand image in my view these days. I loved the classic tool look along with their pilot designs, but now they seem like they are catering to 20 year old frat stars.

I'd love to have a classic Navi, Cosmonaute, or one of the Emergency models though...

drchuck72 · 6 March 2014, 01:54 AM

I have an A13356 Windrider Chronomat Evolution purchased new in St Thomas in 2005 while on my first cruise with my wife.

I've been wearing it for the last 2 weeks, giving my 16610 Sub and 116520 Black Dial Daytona a break. My wife is happy as this is her favorite watch in my collection. She doesn't much care for Rolex (in fact, she downright dislikes them).

Anyways, it will probably find its way back into the watchbox soon enough but it has been nice to rediscover this piece.

I have a couple in my collection, Navitimer 125th Anniversary and an Avenger Seawolf.

Art 1 · 6 March 2014, 10:30 PM

I have two Breitlings.

SonnyAK · 15 March 2014, 05:40 AM

I have 2...This is my daily work watch...

And the other is my Dad's old chronograph...No photo handy right now.
I fly daily in Alaska, so the Emergency is just a little bit of extra insurance - in case the plane's transponder fails, my handheld transponder fails, the sat-phone fails, and my arm is still attached after the crash!

If I ever pull the antenna wire out, it's been a REALLY bad day!

Great watches, but they'll never completely pull me away from Rolex!!
