    Thanks. First pic on the phone through tapatalk. Assume it didn't go well and the quality is poor - will take a look later on proper computer.

    Yep they do. I believe the design is meant to have taken inspiration from a Colt gun barrel. I love mine.

    Nah, this is a watch you have to get in yellow*. If you dont have the balls to do that, then you dont have the balls to wear this chunk of a watch!


    * Not that I dislike it in both white and black variants.

    I can do yellow. I have a orange superocean.
    Ive got my eye on a yellow superocean pro. Just out of my price range at mo though.

    Having it done shortly £30 no colour in it though.
    Went down by 400 less than I paid in January sale but my AD refunded me.

    !! Good AD!

    As dor the engraving, I think your idea of deeper engraving with enamel infill would look better...

  18. #518
    That's good going! Was that a additional discount for the sale or was it a general breitling price cut?

    I bought the watch just before Christmas, I asked if it came into the January sale and was cheaper than what I paid would he honour the sale price and he has done.
    I received 20% when I initially bought it.
    This was at beaverbrooks in Meadowhall, Gavin is the manager and a top bloke.
    In the past I have had 20% discount and 12 months interest free.
    You can even have interest free on sale items unlike other high street companies.
    When I send my watch for engraving he has offered me to loan me a tag watch as the BB will be away for 10 days.

    Hi mate,

    I'm having it engraved deep in block capitals, the guy doesn't do the enamel colouring so will
    look for someone else to put the enamel in, maybe one of the guys on here may do it.

    Cheers

    pulled the trigger on this bad boy this afternoon, i need to source some new shoes for it though as the ocean racer rubber is at full extension on the deployanté and id like a bit of adjustment. i have shown an expression of interest to my dealer who has sourced what i need so i will take delivery of that beauty in a few days.

    Seeing as Breitling is an aviation watch brand, here's a cheeky shot of me and my Emergency about to go for a jolly in a Tiger Moth:

    Not sure if I have posted this previously, but have this on loan from my dad for a few weeks, must say not usually a fan of 18ct or chrono's, but I think all of this works, level of detail is amazing and so is the black and blue dial when the sun hits it.

    Crosswind SE I believe (although not 100% sure). Incredibly light, but slightly top heavy and a very nosey rotor when moving the wrist, is this normal?



    PS that is Vito dads Chihuahua in there background

    Does anyone know if there is such a Breitling, after wearing my dads Crosswind SE for a bit, I wanted to know if there was a time & date only model which is auto which is the sane size (think 42mm) which would be the same as the Avenger Seawolf but not as bulky? Any older models out there?

    You probably already know about the older SuperOcean. In my eyes it's the closest to the SW. No stenciled numbers, but it has the traditional rider tab bezel and it's a very wearable 42mm.

    Thanks I'll check that out, I've already looked at watchfinder.com, which bought the cockpit to my attention.

    Didn't know about that model, ticks all the boxes, but I must say the stencilled numbers are something that I do like, might just have to face up to the fact the Avenger Seawolf at 44mm may be the answer, always liked them in titanium and black or grey dial.

    There are a few dial variations in that model SO if you want to check them out. I believe that titanium Avengers, both Seawolf and Chrono, don't have stenciled numbers. Do not be put off by the diameter alone if you haven't tried it on, it is a well designed case and surprisingly comfortable. The lugs curve down considerably and it even looks smaller on the wrist than one might think.

    Your watch is a Crosswind, the Crosswind SE is shown below and is a fair bit larger.
