I love Breitling because I owned one, and now Im waiting for one coming through the mail from a nice guy from TRF.

Cant wait.

Thank you Stevo and all for your hard hard work.

dddrees · 6 March 2011, 08:46 PM

As my Luv for all things watches grow, the Breitling Navitimer is watch which interest me quite a bit.

esm · 6 March 2011, 08:49 PM

i would like a Breitling because i dont have one (yet) and i do still like their Super Ocean Heritage 46mm style.

i would like this Limited Edition with green bezel.

Jocke · 6 March 2011, 10:48 PM

My Breitling.

beowulf566 · 6 March 2011, 11:07 PM

I love mine!

I think it has great fit and finish! And it runs great! And for a good price.

thank you for the chance to win

Watch Professor · 6 March 2011, 11:57 PM

Breitlings interest me very much for their rugged sportiness.

spuds · 7 March 2011, 12:53 AM

IMO the Breiting B01's with the in-house movement feel indestructible & offer some of the best 'bling 'n bang per buck' out there.

Thankyou Chris & obviously Steve too.....

Thanks, Chris. That's very generous.

Here's my favorite . . . the discontinued Headwind.

Michael M. · 7 March 2011, 12:22 PM

Cool book!

Skullring · 7 March 2011, 12:48 PM

I love the Breitling Montbrillant Datora. It is one of those beautiful watches that you look at often but only occasionally tell the time.

Thank you Chris and Stevo.

hdrazor251 · 7 March 2011, 12:55 PM

Breitling is on my "someday will own" list. I like the rubber strap option on several models.

BigMac53 · 8 March 2011, 04:12 AM

I love my Breitling because I feel that it's very masculine, rugged, and dependable. I also think that the styling is 2nd to none, and the materials used to create the watch are top notch, not to mention EVERY watch they produce are COSC, which I think is pretty cool for a company to do. Aside from all that, my watch also has sentimental value to me because it was purchased as a gift for me from my soon to be wife.

scarlet knight · 8 March 2011, 08:33 AM

i expect to receive my first BReitling tomorrow. It will be a Superocean Abyss Yellow on a rubber strap. glad to join the club! That book looks nice

Can they be purchased or do I have to hope that I win one one day??

MURRAY · 9 March 2011, 03:57 AM

I like Breitlings because I think they have a great portfolio of nice looking watches.

I also like them because my neighbor has one, and when he brags to me about it or is obnioxiously trying to get people to notice it, that I whisper in his ear that it 'still ain't a Rolex'......

Astronaut Scott Carpenter wore a Navitimer on his flight of the Aurora 7 Mercury spacecraft in 1952, making three orbits around the world, cementing Breitling's role in that great era. This was the second manned spaceflight, lasting just less than 5 hours (T+04:57:10 from liftoff to splashdown.)

Sweramic · 14 March 2011, 08:01 AM

I have only owned one Breitling, the SOH. It was great but what I love with Breitling is their bracelets which is great quality. My dad has one with bracelet and it is super nice!

Explorer 2011 · 14 March 2011, 08:07 AM

A good friend of mine has a Navitimer Heritage. I absolutely love the face on the watch, but my favourite part has to be the slightly domed crystal on the watch when you look from the side. (designed to reduce glare apparently). Great Watches.
