    Titanium bad-ass-ery.. the force is strong with this one

    :shock: Shock horror.. I bought a watch.. and it isn't a Heuer :shock: :shock: WTF's goin' on?

    Tell you what though, it's a fooking firecracker of a watch.. if I'm honest, I bought it because it was a good deal and I liked it. Not because 'I always wanted one' etc etc.. but in the few days I've had the lump on my wrist, I LOVE it! It's my first Breitling, and I'm very impressed. The Ti is superb, has a real tool, hard nut look & feel about it. Apologies for the Star Wars reference, but it is May the Forth :roll:

    The bezel is a joy to use, 120 solid clicks, I love the anti-glare crystal.. it is actually slightly domed, fantastic bit of kit, and if you haven't tried one, give it a go, you may surprise yourself. :thumbleft:

    A few pics hastily taken this morning - oh, and a big :thumbright: to Christof for selling this big ol' lump of goodness to me.

    Lovely watch. Agre with what you say, B'lings do surprise you when you actually wear them and the blue AR is superb.

    I'm not normally a fan, but can really see the attraction. Love the AR.

    I don't usually go for Breitling's, too blingy, but this is a cracker!!

    Nice one Stewart.

    Really nice watch, really nice pics.

    Ti Breitlings are often the best of the range.

    Very nice, one of the few Breitlings I like.

    Get it on a brown leather strap, Blood Diamiond style!

    Well done, they are a superb watch. I nearly bit the bullet on this one but would prefer the grey dial version to go with my M1.

    Yup, like that a lot.
    Slightly prefer the Pro 1 bracelet though.

    Looks great. What type of strap is the back fabric "woven" one in pics 3 & 5? Works really well with that watch in my opinion.

    Yeah, I agree.. it matches the cross hatching on the crown/pushers.
    It's a Perlon NATO from RLT http://www.rltwatches.co.uk/cgi-bin/...%23a2142#a2142

    I am impressed, a really sturdy piece. Is this an Avenger?

    What a corker! For me the titanium de-blings this breitling very nicely & I would imagine also makes it comfortable to wear.

    My favourite Breitling and one I wouldn't sell from my collection.Love how comfortable and light they are,also they remind me of submarine hatches from the side,almost steam punk in design.Looks great in your pics,enjoy it :)

    You will buy bucket loads of straps now, guanteed :wink:

    I loved mine for the 6 or so months I had it, went to Australia with me and never missed a beat. Clever lugs mean it doesn't wear as big as it should; bloody thick though !

    As with all the chronos I've ever owned, I just didn't need/use the function and off they went.....

    Great photos and I am now thinking of a U1 replacement.

    Im another with no love for the blingier breitlings, but that ones a gud un. It looks well-made, sturdy, the dial is well thought-out and it calmly announces "I do exactly what it says on the tin." I think it was a good purchase.
