Congratulations on your first Breitling.

It's a bullet proof watch, with insane accuracy.

That was my first heavy duty watch, I loved it. It was accurate to the second Ll year long and is absolutely bulletproof.

Hello Breitling lovers

I just acquired my first Breitling, a Colt II Quartz Blue dial, and I absolutely love it...here is the story:

I wished to acquire a Bond SMP quartz cuz my girlfriend just loves that watch, and I will still trade this one for it, but in the process of acquiring that, I have taken a stop over at this colt and I am stunned at how amazing as a watch it is :)

this watch is very very high quality as a product..the company left no stone unturned..the saphire crystal is amazingly anti reflective coated and just totally disappears..the WR rating is also hig hat 500m, the size is very 'normal' and the lume is amazing, against what I had heard about B'lings..the bracelet is the screw and pin type, the one Omega has recently updated to, so it is also definitely then a high quality one...the pro II bracelet slants so cool, the bezel clicks are solid and cool...AND the best part:..the movement is one of the world's most accurate thermocompensated quartz movts, with chornometer certification, a rare thing for quartz watches..so overall, I am very very impressed.

my one and only gripe is that the dial is just a tad little too small for easy night time reading, since I have weak eye sight and I have to read it without glasses when I get up at night..I just wish the dial were a tad larger.

overall, an amazing catch :)
