That one must be quite rare! Nice.
Like Breitling, but Not keen on the latest bs I must say.
Thanks. 1 of 100 I believe.
Im going to add my Superocean Chronograph M2000 to the list, some lovely watches in this thread.
Does anyone on here own an automatic Chronospace, pics & wristshot most welcome.
I've got a white dial baton Super Avenger and think it perfectly suits my 8 inch wrists, I loved it from the moment I first saw it. I know it's not for everyone, but if you've got large wrists, it's a no brainier, well it was for me anyway.
Latest arrival in the house. I'd been hankering after a superquartz for a while, and looked at both B1s and the Airwolf. I slightly preferred the dial on the B1 but much preferred the downturned lugs on the Airwolf and definitely preferred the Pro II bracelet of the latter to the Fighter on the former.
It wears noticeably smaller than my Seawolf being 2mm less in diameter and about 3mm less from the bottom of the case (not inc the domed back) to the top of the (flat) crystal.

Very very nice,My old style Breitling Chronospace, fully overhauled by BUK in 2012 .... love it ......

Not sure my Cosmonaute IS here, so here's a new photo (in case it is).

A couple of mine.
My two latest purchases..
Not the best pics....
my newest arrived this morning, im very pleased with the look of it but the strap is pretty uncomfortable, hopefully it will feel better as it conforms to my wrist shape
this brings my colletion of breitlings to 5 and i genuinely think it is the last watch i will buy. i have wanted one for ages, now i have one and there is nothing else i fancy. I dont know if i feel a bit sad about that!
Some tasty watches on this thread. My favourites are the superoceans on sharkmesh.
That is a nice set there. I wouldn't mind a blue faced Superocean a some point to go with these:
I've never liked Breitlings.
So this thread is causing me concern. Some lovely looking watches here.
Gone, but not forgotten...
that would fit in very nicely, to my mind it is a proper classic breitling that breitling fans should own atleast once. that is a very good looking trio.That is a nice set there. I wouldn't mind a blue faced Superocean a some point to go with these:
Big thanks to RossC for giving me the lead on this one. Picked it up yesterday from Andrew Michaels. They also had a cosmonaut in their display cabinet with a healthy discount (£3200-ish) that almost tempted me away but I stuck with my resolve for the B01:
I have always wanted a cosmonaut - I just found out tonight that my older retired neighbour is really into Breitlings and has 4 - one of which is a gold cosmonaut, and reminded me how much I love the watch!
Great news, Christian.
Nice to see you got it on bracelet too. You know who to sell it to if you get bored
I'd love to see a wristshot of an automatic 'Chronospace'.............really I would!
Someone here on TZ must have one, shurely.
My seawolf 2 not long in from Colin
I love the silver numerals, and the red "automatic".My seawolf 2 not long in from Colin
As much as I loved my "custard" seawolf (see pic above), i do genuinely now feel that the updated "mustard" Seawolf is the better watch.
The silver numerals really do it for me - wonderful, wonderful watch!
Liking some of the Superoceans here - and I'd love to get a 'Point Break' New Pluton with the black bezel.
Nice photo. If I was in the market for a good quartz watch, this is what I'd go for... I really do like the look of the B1.I'm sure my Cosmonaute's in the thread somewhere already, but I've added a B-1 recently.
Totally different to my Cosmonaute, but I like it nearly as much!
I'm not a fan of all Breitling's watches (modern or classic) - The Bentleys leave me cold, especially - but I think the general dislike some people have for them is irrational.

Thanks. I think if I'd got one of these a few years ago, I probably wouldn't have looked at anything else! ☺

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
An oldie but a goodie... Just taken in p/x against one on my tag heuer
May end up on sc very quickly....
Just had a browse around the Breitling website. I see they've just released an oversize 46mm Navitimer and a new 48mm Navitimer GMT. I'm obviously a big Navitimer fan but think this is ridiculous.
i dont think the 46mm size is too ridiculous, there has been a 46mm version of the navitimer for a while in the shape of the navitimer world.
it seems odd to make the GMT so big though as it isnt displaying any more information than the world does and the movement fits in smaller cases iirc.
do they still atleast make a smaller navitimer for those who like them more compact?
In answer to my own question, the regular navitimer still exists
Would really like a B1 with yellow dial, if only

Im in!!!!!!!!!!
42mm SOH.
I have the identical watch to the one you've just bought from Col, Jonah. Adrian is right - it's just fabulous and I can't imagine ever parting with it...

Breitling Boys. I'm going to buy this 20mm Deply for my Navi World
Seller seems legit and lots of good feedback and has a physical store in Leeds.
But for peace of mind a few A-Ok's from people familiar with the Breitling deploy would be much appretiated.
In return I shall grace this thread with some photos of my Blue Navi when it's on its Blue Croc.

Good lad! Great choice!Im in!!!!!!!!!!
Your door frames will take a beating though!

I think the silver numerals do look good but I like my old custard Seawolf best on a black croco and so the darker numerals are needed to match it.
I noticed Noel Edmonds was rocking an Emergency on Alan Carr last night. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing for the brand...
Not my pictures just a few iv come across from various forums :)
E_2_Rightforce thanks for the reply and I emailed the seller who was keen to stress they make their own straps but they Breitling Deploy is legit, they have a physical store too. So I've gona ahead and bought it.
Thanks for the help
Ok what would you do?
I have my Navi World and sold the leather strap as I don't like tang buckles and the strap was near the end of its life. The navi is on the Breitling Bracelet. I don't like it on the bracelet, there are very few watches (actually pretty much only Rolex) that I like on bracelet.
So I've got me a Blue Croc strap and Breitling Deploy for it. Combined cost of £180 when sale of old strap is included. I don't think i'll ever wear it on the bracelet again and I love the Navi World, so should I sell the bracelet? They're worth so much money it'd be stupid to keep it wouldn't it?
But some people would keep it for completeness if I ever sold it. So which should I do?
I've always admired the panda dial Navitimer. I think it would be perfect if the outer numerals ring was black though, to balance the black sub-registers.A couple of mine.
Just a couple of q&d's of the 3 Breitlings i currently have............
first up my 40mm Aerospace, got this 16 months ago and it doesn't get out much, reason being its tucked away for my sons 18th (he's 12!!) This one is in really good condition and i love it.
second up is my 42mm Aerospace, this one is currently at BUK for the full spa treatment and can't wait to get it back, my daily wearer
Lastly my newest arrival which landed yesterday, hadn't bought anything for a little while so treated myself. Had a Navitimer a few years back but for the life of me couldn't remember why i let it go, so, decided to try another. This time have acquired an Old Navitimer, i know they produced 1993-2002 but haven't looked into the age of mine as yet but suspect its older as there is a very nice ageing setting into the dial so much so that i'm a bit smitten with this. Wasn't sure how it would look on brown croc but love it, in fact love everything about it!
Wear her (and the rest) in good health Nev, I miss her already .... I know she went to a good home
LOL!
My Favourite Watch FINALLY on the strap I've always wanted it on. Blue Croc on Deploy
