epalanb 1 Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Ok, not really much of a review, but I will post a bunch of pics so you guys can see how nice this watch is. I had a brand new Bakeka waiting for this one and I was in such a hurry to take it off the rep rubber that I didn't even take pics of it that way. My Bakeka strap is a bit tight on the lugs so it was a bit of a challenge to change. For that reason I'm not going to change back (at least right away) for a pic of the crappy rep rubber that you can see in many other pics. Everything about this watch seems really nice. Movement sweeps nicely, date and time change smoothly and Date clicks over @ about 12:15 so no real complaint there. I have had it for less than a day so I'm not 100% sure but it seems to be running about 12-15 sec fast right now, no biggie. I have 7.5" wrist and after wearing a Pam 111 for the last month or so this thing seems very reasonably sized and very wearable. I measure it at exactly 15mm thick and 44mm in Dia.

epalanb 1 Posted April 5, 2017 beautiful I'm considering purchasing this myself but stuck between choosing this or the avenger series. decisions decisions I think some of those look really nice, but I would be wary of the thickness on many of them. Have you worn a watch that is say 18mm thick? It may, or may not be what you are looking for. For me, I have decided 15mm is about my max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sealdoggy 1 Posted April 5, 2017 Purchased this one myself absolutely love it, just wish the the stainless bracelet was available, can't stand the rubber strap feel. Congratulations it looks great on that strap, enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
epalanb 1 Posted April 5, 2017 Purchased this one myself absolutely love it, just wish the the stainless bracelet was available, can't stand the rubber strap feel. Congratulations it looks great on that strap, enjoy Over on RWI one of the guys there put his on a bracelet that he had from another Breitling and it worked really well. I can't remember exactly which one. Maybe one day RWI will be back up and you/we can check. I believe that the bracelet that goes on this one is just a regular Professional 3. I think both a pro 2 or a pro 3 would work. I had asked Mary if she could get a bracelet. She told me that she could get a bracelet from H factory and it would be from a Skyland. She then went on to say she couldn't promise that it would work. I'm guessing it would, but I declined to buy it when she said it was going to be $80. Still, it might be worth it. I do like it on the strap though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you worn a watch that is say 18mm thick? It may, or may not be what you are looking for. For me, I have decided 15mm is about my max I believe I have but will have to double check the thickness of what I have once I find my ruler although I can pull off bigger watches and this is hoping to be a weekend one so thickness shouldn't be an issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
