Great Breitling, had it before. It has heft to it and the Pro II really compliments it.

Congrats and wear it in good health.

Thanks Vernon, I absolutely love the dial and the lume on it.

Thanks Karis, it's a 44mm but wears like a 42mm. Compared to my 40mm Rolex watches, this thing is heavy!

Thanks Franklin. Compared to my Rolex watches, this thing gets compliments from people all the time. I still love my Rollies though!

There sure have been some tempting looking Breitling's here lately. My heart is sold on a Patek Phillipe now as I went to an AD when I was in Iowa City and am in love after trying on a few. Wow is all I can say. I have never seen such fine workmanship as those watches.

This Breitling sure is nice though and more in my beer pocket book price range.

.

Thank-You for sharing these nice shots.

That is one of the best looking Breitlings I've seen, Jason. What a knock-out!!!

The colour of that dial is mind-blowing!!

Thanks for the kind words, Rudolph, JJ and Robb!

Does anyone know how heavy this watch is compared to the Sub? The manual says 122.50 gr. ... although it feels heavier than that.

That would be only the weight of the watch-head - not including the bracelet.

Thanks JJ, I guess it's time for me to head down to my friendly neighborhood supermarket produce section to weigh this baby ala JJ style.

Remember to weigh it with ALL original links to get the CORRECT weight.

Jason,

What a great looking watch. Love the blue dial. I now might have to reconsider getting the 'Emergency' model now that I have seen yours.

I love bigger sized watches too. Any chance of doing a review on it?

Thanks guys, I would love to do a review in the future, but alas, i'm not as eloquent as JJ or the rest of the master reviewers.

All I can say, this beater of mine, is a great value at $2945 MSRP!
