I scored a Breitling Headwind in awesome condition! I wish Breitling never discontinued this classic model, and always regretted not getting it when I instead got a SA three years ago.Its 43.7 mm, 500m water resistance. What do you think?

kingblackbolt · 4 May 2008, 07:56 AM

That has to be one of the nicest Breitling models by far and I love those complications... it is always better when they go for an understated look in their line... CONGRATS!

Rockrolex · 4 May 2008, 07:58 AM

Very nice piece. Enjoy it.

Letsgodiving · 4 May 2008, 08:35 AM

Love that dial! Congrats.

llamaofdoom · 4 May 2008, 12:41 PM

I'm curious about the "couldn't afford a day date" comment...were you buying used or new?

Terry Newton · 4 May 2008, 01:14 PM

That is an awesome looking Breitling. I love the seconds hand that looks like an anchor at the end. Classy

.

I think you have a nice buy.

I hope you are able to get your Day-Date at some point in the future.

Very nice watch.

vukotab · 4 May 2008, 11:47 PM

For me,that`s the most stylish Breitling ever,even more than Bentley models!
Wear it in a good health,pal!Congrats!

JJ Irani · 5 May 2008, 03:56 AM

That's a real cool looking watch, Vincent. I never knew Breitling made models that displayed the day in full. Good choice.

Nice, and enjoy!

vegasvince · 5 May 2008, 10:12 AM

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! I hope someday in my lifetime Rolex will come out with a Day-Date sport model! This Headwind is definitely heavy though!

Very nice find Vince.

I saw a LNIB on TZ last week, it's a beautiful watch. Too bad they discontinued it. Wear it in good health.

Haha, will do!!!

buz-lh · 6 May 2008, 11:44 PM

That's beautiful Vincent, congratulations. How long did you have to look to find it?

vegasvince · 7 May 2008, 03:54 AM

I had patiently searched on the TZ sales corner for more than a year to find one. Its also the first watch I have purchased sight unseen. Not disappointed though!

kcmo · 8 May 2008, 02:38 AM

Looks great Vincent, enjoy! I used to own a Breitling Callisto (mid-size) that I thoroughly enjoyed. Ended up selling it only b/c of the 34mm size.

DSJ · 8 May 2008, 02:41 AM

Nice. That baby needs a Cape Cod...

kshooter3466 · 8 May 2008, 09:32 AM

stripec30 · 8 June 2008, 08:27 AM

Great Breitling.

mickeydainish · 8 June 2008, 02:40 PM

Very nice..... Love that polished bracelet... very neat!!! :-)

RW16610 · 9 June 2008, 12:30 AM

Awesome watch you have there.

J. Martin Tensuan · 11 June 2008, 10:40 AM

Beautiful acquisition -- congrats, Vincent!

IMO, other Breitling models are either too busy or blingy -- although that picture of the Navitimer is making me change my mind. Too bad Breitling discontinued the Headwind. Anyways, glad you found one after searching for a year. Wear and enjoy it until it's time for Jason to buy it!
