brang1 4,013 Posted January 7, 2020 This one just in and i think i am totally in love, yes i want to have children with this watch. Little baby colts, 36mm perhaps. BREITLING COLT CHRONOGRAPH AUTOMATIC, MARINER BLUE DIAL. It was the dial that got me, i am a sucker for a blue dial, and this is just beautiful. Officially chronometer-certified movement, 44mm 14.7 thick, so it is a sizeable chunk, but not as big as the Avenger. I tried Avenger Seawolf reps but didn't find them comfortable, this however sits perfectly. As with most Breitlings, the finish is superb... i think i may have a keeper,,,well for now anyway. So @Thommo82 don't hold your breathe for this one 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackjackWQ 32 Posted January 7, 2020 That's lovely, I really do like the aesthetics of these chronos. If you do get your hands on some baby 36mm Colts I'll have one or three, perfect size for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo82 1,397 Posted January 7, 2020 Ahhh..... Now that’s just fucking lovely isn’t it mate! Once again, what crimes are you committing? I’ve still got hold of my mates Breitling Ended up having a good chat with the manager at a local watch shop when he spotted it on my wrist. He showed me some really nice Grand Seiko’s, and ended up ordering my Longines through him at 25% off. Good guy. 3 hours ago, k3rm87 said: Mate I love that.

Few years back they had a yellow SuperOcean Abyss in store and I’m still kicking myself that I didn’t buy it. What a fucking idiot hey? They have some lovely pieces in there, tried on the new Navitimer recently. Much more subtle than the older versions. Nice Omegas too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
