After some time out away from watches I picked this up today. Very happy with it although it'll take some getting used to the weight!

My Top Time currently away being repaired as the crown pulled right out recently!
My superocean 42 on ocean racer 3. Wears great, running within 1 sec/day and is nice and colourful.

I've had my colt GMT on the bracelet for a while. Back on the rubber now, like a diver should be, feels proper :)

This was my first Breitling. This was also the watch that made me catch the watch bug [emoji6]

Nice watch :)

Out of all the Breitlings I've owned I think I miss this one the most.

i bought this bracelet the other day and it feels like money well spent. not cheap but a lot less money direct from Breitling than some sellers seem to be asking for elsewhere:

I would advise anyone looking bracelets, straps or in partiular the rubber inserts: go direct to breitling, ebay is well pricey by comparison. the rubber inserts are only 50 quid direct from breitling but they are regularly offered for double that elsewhere!
I had a serious case of Flipperitis when I passed this on for a silly price!

It's probably the least popular dial colour but if I were to have another SuperOcean Heritage it would defiantly be the copper colour.

Dearly departed 43mm Navi 01. Classic, iconic look, and what it always deserved, an in-house movement.

What a shame you didn't man up and get the 46mm version :la:

Thought I'd add my SOH 44 Chrono to the appreciation party [emoji4] Just love the green bezel.

Beautiful!
Are you going to sell the bracelet? :)
@ ach5...
Guess what I've just bought, Adrian :)

Brand new 46mm Navitimer World, mate. Blue dial, blue leather strap. Manly enough for you?!
It's due to arrive on my doorstep tomorrow courtesy of DHL - the suspense is killing me.
Simon
I miss my old Aerospace's. Great titanium use - so light without ever feeling flimsy. My favourite quartz.
I owned the Black and Grey dial Avantage. Quite fancy an Evo at some point...

I appear to have scored the deal of the century. I'm not going to say any more until it actually appears...

This just in today. My first Aerospace! Not keen on the strap, hopefully find a nice leather option to swap to.

I have the same. I bought it on (tan) leather but was never convinced by the look and feel - the watch head being ti was almost too light so the leather didn't flex around the wrist, and the watch rather 'sat up' - so it ended up on bracelet, which does suit the watch. I'd quite like to try a blue or grey nato (or better still 2-piece quasi-nato) as I think it would suit it. (I wish Eddie's 2-piece nylon on deployant came in 22mm as well as 20.)
Love the white dial Aerospace btw. Looks great...

Still loving the flying fish!http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01...0c080ca935.jpg
I always regretted selling mine, Matt, hence my recent WTB. The only thing that I would change would be the bezel. Not necessarily the font, as many would say is their biggest criticism of the Buck Rogers style, but maybe if it was busier, or perhaps graduations rather than numerals... I don't really know how I'd change it, which probably indicates there's nothing really wrong with it, but for comparison purposes, I love the Chronomat Airborne's bezel - that works really nicely.

It's funny you should say that Ross, as I've thought in the past that the airborne's bezel could be more fitting!
I think the rider tabs being quite flush compared to earlier chronomat's doesn't help much either!
