    INCOMING

    Arriving within the next week or so.

    I have gone all things Breitling of late. Nothing from the absolute modern era.. but after my cull I will be down to 3 x Breitling and my Mazzuoli Manometro. Plus a GShock for work.
    And that's more or less me.

    Hugely excited about this one...

    B1's are cracking watches - I had got one of the last B1's to be sold (years after they were discontinued) in grey, and regret selling it. Enjoy, and don't make the same mistake I made..

    Nice one mate... I am buzzing indeed. Cannot wait for it to land... and I'll try to heed your advice.

    Loving the look of that. Do the bracelet's always look 'gappy' ? Some I've seen pictures I've seen do, wondered if they're made that way?
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Cheers, I think that they're the coolest super-quartz / analog digi combo around.


    I am not sure... I will have more info for you on Wednesday mate. It's a no quibble return if I don't want it. I didn't mess around looking at it at a storefront as it's in a sale and the price can revert to full whilst messing around so I nailed it at 30 percent off.

    I have had a Breitling before previously with the similar bracelet and it didn't have daylight issues. If that's any help?

    Yep. This might do me for a while though. Unless the black carbon version comes back in stock somewhere local

    Arrived today... absolutely smitten. It's times like this that I wish I could take really great photos.

    Pictures don't do it justice... the thing's like new.

    Nice B-1. I did exactly the same. Bought one. Sold it. Regretted it. Bought another …



    Not mint. But going nowhere.

    And I understand the re-buy.

    Looks in great nick though.. and actually suits that strap really well.

    It’s shaped to amplify the sound of the alarms. The B1 has some great attention to detail

    I had set it by accident (or it was already set hahahaha.. I have no idea) and the alarm went off next to me mate.. and I was like:
    "Blooming heck... what on earth is that?!!"

    When you don't expect a watch to even have the alarm set... and it makes the noise that this thing makes... you wake up! :)
