A few crackers in there Adrian
Very nice collection
There's a slate B1 also, but I can't seem to find the photos!
I have a Superocean dating back to 2008, cant show a picture as its away at Breitling for a service.
Discontinued windrider model I think - The Headwind

You have let some stunning Breitlings depart Ross
I think you need to buy at least one more
Fantastic collection.

This is and always has been my favourite Breitling, wearing it as I write..... Most of my favourite models are discontinued such as the Ti Avenger Chrono and Blacksteel Skyland, of the current line up I only like the Seawolf.

Here's my lump... With any luck off to a new home soon though!
I couldn't help myself. My new Breitling should be here next week!!
This one is my everyday beater and has not been off my wrist since I got it back.....
This ones not seen the light of day for over a year and a half but looking at the picture makes me think I should get it out of the safe......
Cheers

Ralph Waldo Emerson: We ask for long life, but 'tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.
I thought this was great
If it was a little less "Breitling", i would still have it.
I toy with the idea of getting a more used one, removing the bezel over-riders, painting out the useless compass rehaut numerals and characters, filling the bezel indices with paint and re-luming it to a super-bright level.
It would almost be perfect then.

Seeing that you are doing a little changing of things to get this watch just right for you can I suggest that you do something about that "5" overlapping the date window border.
That would drive me insane!! (I hope I have not just pointed out something that will annoy you evermore. Apologies if I have)
currently only have a aerospace but have owned all of these in the past

more of mine
Another colt here.
It may be the poor mans Breitling, but I like it (being a poor man).
[QUOTE=Captainhowdy;2701158]I've had a few Breitling's over the years, I'm less keen on some of the newer stuff, but they still make a good watch.
I used to a 1998 pre-chronometer version of this.
I flipped it to put funds towards a new house. It was battered, had two full services 18 months apart, and it never kept any reasonable time compared to other watches I still have.
But, every time I see one, damn do I wish I hadn't sold it. something about the matt finish, especially at issue when everything else was so shiny from Breitling, it made this one extra special, well, to me anyway
My first 'proper' watch was a SuperOcean, now I have that and a B1.

My new addition

I'm not mad on Breitling watches, just not my kind of watch. But I really want to own one. I've no doubt I'll eventually come round or find one I like. If I keep looking at them I know I'll change at some point.
I love some Breitlings. I don't own any at the moment, but that's down to finances rather than choice.
Growing up they were always the watches I was drawn to in shop windows and I was stoked when I got my first one. Now I've owned quite a few and I would have any of them back in a heartbeat.
There are a few I plan on getting again someday when I can afford it - definately the SOHC 125th anniversary, possibly B1 and probably some variation of Avenger.
I could't find pictures of all the ones I've had, but here are most of them:
Super Ocean Heritage Chrono 125th Anniversary
Chronospace
Chrono Avenger M1 black face
Chrono Avenger M1 white face
Super Avenger slate face
Aerospace
Airwolf Raven
Aerospace Avantage on bracelet
Airwolf white face
B1 SQ
I've also had a Chrono Avenger and Emergency, but can't find pictures of those.
