Just plunkered down for a Breitling

IzzyGray · 08-05-2015, 11:49 PM

Sooo after lusting after a Breitling for a year, I went ahead and said eff it, I'm getting one. A Navitimer Montbrillant Datora. I have to say that I was mainly captivated by the styling and size(I have larger wrists). It's by far the most expensive timepiece I have(my collection is pretty modest). Tag Formula One, Citizen eco drive, omega speedmaster(schumacher's limited edition) and now the Breitling. Feel like a kid on Christmas morning! I cant even share it with anyone else cause they all think I'm crazy. Soooo the best place to share is with you other crazy watch afficianados!

Nice choice! I've always been a big fan of the Navitimer. Time to post up some pics!

EJT86 · 08-06-2015, 07:44 AM

Good for you I've wanted one for years

Nice watch. Enjoy.

For the person who wanted a photo, there are several styling variants, but aside from that, they all pretty much look the same. I don't know which dial and strap/bracelet combo the OP chose.

All the best.

Thanks guys! I knew I could count on you all to be excited about it as I am. Here's the only image I could find online of the color combo I went with. I only have bracelets and rubber straps so decided to go with a leather strap this time around:

I'm lucky enough to have a Super Avenger. They are great watches and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Holy hell that is a busy dial!

Congrats on the purchase OP!
