I have a Girard Titanium Ferrari everyday watch, and a couple of others that are going in for service/new crystals. An early Orfina Porsche Design, one of the first. An Omega Pre-moon Speedmaster Professional, not auto, that's why it went to the moon, no gravity on the moon. And a Rolex President. Plus the Chopard Mile Miglia I got for "Presentation and performance" in my group at the Monterey Historics. Also have an old Micky Mouse Anybody want to buy a watch? | ||

Guys I bought it white faced breitling colt automatic with the stainless steel fighter band. Retail $1770 but they were really willing to deal after 6% PA tax it came to $1325. Thanks everyone I think I got a good deal and am very happy. Thanks again Erik | ||

I like Breitings in my younger days but now I find them too busy and difficult to even read the time with my old eyes. | ||

I chose a Tag over a Breitling since the Breitling is huge. | ||

I have a quartz Tag Heuer chrono that keeps crappy time. It loses about 5 minutes every 3 or 4 days. My auto Omega Speedmaster chrono keeps great time. The thing I don't like about the auto is if you don't wear it, it stops. I can't take it off for the weekend or I have to reset it. | ||

I have a Rolex Daytona which stays in its wind-up box. My daily driver is a Breitling Areospace, which is a quartz. Only problem with the Breitling is that I have to carry the instruction book in my brief case just to figure out how to change the time. The Daytona is a great watch, but it gets bumped a lot because it is so big. Plus, we live in a world where people kill each other in Stop & Robs for $25, a carton of milk, and a six pack. Given this, I don't feel comfortable wearing an expensive watch out and about. Dale | ||

I have a Breitling superocean and love it, most of the colts are quartz movement, probably worth spending a few more bucks for an auto | ||

Kenny, I have an Omega Seamaster Chrono (Automatic) and you are right that they don't keep time very well. I also messed up the date thingy. The date won't switch until about 5 AM. Very annoying. If you try to get it fixed by Omega it takes a ridiculous amount of time. I was told 3-6 months. My Rolex on the other hand, keeps excellent time and is very maintenance free. I love it's precision. Cheers | ||

If you get an automatic chronograph, they can get expensive to overhaul & maintain plus, they keep unrealiable time... Otherwise, they are very nice looking watches.. I think, among highline watches, Rolexes keep the best time, and require the least amount of upkeep... | ||

I've a Breitling stopwatch, but I'm not too sure what to time myself doing... I've lost a lot of respect for the company since this Bentley tie-in. Why write your name on the car clock if it's just a generic, cheap, volkswagen ticker? Pure marketing-driven pap, and the Bentley Breitling watch is another product with no integrity. I really think it would have been better for Bentley to die quietly than have to undergo such embarassing manipulations today. | ||

Thanks guys the only model I can really afford is the colt I like the looks of it and at 1/3rd the price of a submariner I would rather have it. I am going to see it tomorrow will let you know what I think after I see and try it on. How much should I expect to get off? Erik | ||

The Bentley is an awesome watch. But as for other Breitlings, I'm not too interested. Give me an Omega Seamaster GMT any day! | ||

I have a Breitling Navitimer which I had aspired to buy for years being an aviator. To me it is the pinnacle of a classic time and navigational instrument that can be worn everyday and trancends any 'fashion statement' watch. And bonus! I get to use my ancient slide rule skills!! No other watch surpasses, and I wear mine everyday. | ||

i have an Old Navitimer...i like alot...the breitlings can take a beating...great everyday watches...i liked them more a few years back when they werent so mainstream...nowadays everyone has one... i'd still take a breitling over a rolex on any day, but not over an AP, JC, or UN. | ||

Erik, They are great. I have a stainless Blackbird UTC. a two tone Aerospace UTC and a stainless Emergency. The hot Breitling du jour is the Bentley. The Crosswind is cool too...but rather large. DL | ||
