I picked this guy up recently and have really been enjoying it. This is my first Breitling and I am thinking I got a pretty good bang for my buck with this one. My wife actually said that she likes this one the most out of all the nice watches I have owned and currently own. It's kinda funny considering this is probably the cheapest watch I have bought in years, but it does look amazing on the wrist.

I was actually leaning towards the IWC Aquatimer when I noticed the SOH. I actually decided to buy both but then realised that the IWC had some wear marks since it had been in the case and tried on multiple times. They did not have any others in the safe so I said I would wait a bit and just enjoy the SOH. Well, now I don't think I even want the IWC, this has satisfied the itch that I was looking to scratch.

The thing that made the Breitling win out over the IWC was the fact that, well, it looks amazing, but also, it has 24mm lugs. This watch has opened the door to all those wonderful Panerai aftermarket straps that I love, it will look amazing on a nice vintage leather in the winter. With the IWC, I was stuck with only IWC straps or the bracelet, huge bummer because I like the ability to switch up the look of a watch. I was really just looking for a summer pool/beach beater, and I think I found a solid watch for year round enjoyment. OH, I almost forget, the deployment rocks. Once I saw that it has all those micro adjustments that you can just push a lever and slide the strap back and forth for the perfect fit, I was sold.

Well, here are the wrist shots, post yours if you got one!
