onzenuub 309 Posted December 8, 2008 The new Montbrillant Legende has arrived, some pics from Joshua's site. For comparison a pic of a gen. Shame about the date. Since there is no Breitling area over here posted it in General Discussion. And the gen: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dave123 Posted December 8, 2008 Thats a really doctored up gen pic. The date looks really good on the rep to me,the font is good and its a tad sunken,but its not bad really. The bracelet is the killer for me,rep bracelets are a no go on my wrist,and there is no gen strap option that can be added to this watch,so i will be taking a pass on this watch,the gen is indeed awesome though,the TT version anyway.

AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 8, 2008 When I look at that white dial I think "baseball." I like the Navi but this one doesn't do much for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

onzenuub 309 Posted December 8, 2008 You're right Doc, black dial looks better on this watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 8, 2008 You yanks look at anything and think 'baseball'....don't ya?.... Size is nice though Doc,47x15.... Well, since you brought it up... Baseball was my love when I was a kid--I lived and breathed baseball. I poured over the stats in the Sunday paper, memorizing them. We played ball in the street, up against the garage, in the backyard with a Whiffle bat and ball, at the school, in the vacant lot next door... anywhere. Played it in high school until I figured out I couldn't hit the fastball--pulled my head. But I still followed the Majors religiously for years. Then the players and owners could not come to an agreement in 1994, a strike was called, and the World Series was canceled. That was it for me. Both sides were wealthy yet they let pride rule the day and they screwed the people who fattened their bank accounts--the fans. No mas baseball. I'll basketball and a little football, but never again baseball. The black dial does look better on this watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dave123 Posted December 8, 2008 Thats funny. I watched baseball as a kid thru the 80's,loved the Blue Jays,i enjoyed it more than hockey actually,then the Jays won the two world series in '92 and '93 i was loving it.... Then the strike in '94...i have not watched one game since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) A guy named Jerry Garvin pitched for the Jays from 1977-82. I think that was the team's first year. He went 10-18, not bad for an expansion team. It was all downhill from there. I think he got injured. He was one of my buds growing up. Found his baseball card Edited December 8, 2008 by AllergyDoc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demsey 9 Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) No mas baseball. I feel that way about NASCAR. It is all the unsavory cliche's people pick it apart for being, but living in Daytona I had an 'in' to some of the behind the scenes stuff and personalities. There is a lot going on there that doesn't meet the eye, like; no steroids, drugs, dog fights, wife beatings, thug life, garrish bling and bizzare depravity that seems to plague modern day "ball sports". Just, you know, good old fashioned American alchoholism, horsepower, and hot dogs. Kids love the 'spectacle' of it all, and if you can drag your wife, it's actually quite 'family'. But, it's turned into something else; big corporate glut. If you 'aint as pretty as Jeff Gordon or Jimmy Johnson, and can sell the crap out of some sponsors 'product' you are out. The King, Richard Petty, and his awesome legendary talent wouldn't have ever been considered in this current environment. He's not gorgeous enough, and talks too funny. Those are his words. As all my fav drivers rotated out, the Mark Martins (who's still kind of in it, but not really) Ricky Rudds, Rusty Wallaces, Ernie Ervans, Bill Elliots, I got tired of being the France Family's 'Ho. They would restrict the cooler sizes down to "six pack" size, and charge $4 a can of beer at the concessions and delay all the races to mid-afternoon green flag starts so people would get bored and shop the midway. Good tickets in the towers where you can see the entire circuit are $250+ and parking starting at $45 and a half mile walk to the entrance. Screw 'em. Oh yeah, Breitling. Being a 'pilot's' watch, you'd think it would be a no brainer. Too busy dials for me. Hate the look actually. Like they all look like Breitling for Bently Bling to me. I didn't even know Shaq flew. Then there's Dave. So. Edited December 8, 2008 by Demsey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 8, 2008 Never saw anything in racing. My image is, my now-deceased step-father-in-law sitting in front of his 54" TV watching racing. His big bulbous red nose (think W.C. Fields), thick gold chains (was a union thug most of his life, followed by owning a pawn shop--is there a difference?), and open shirt showing his big, hairy stomach. Used to scare my kids to death.

Yeah, that would be it. I, however, would prefer Grey Poupon on my hot dogs, if that dillutes your image though. And still, there are two directions for kids to take with regard to 'role models'. Follow them, then again, run away from them. Edited December 8, 2008 by Demsey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correction as I'm evidently not awake yet - there is, and always has been a Breitling area in the photo gallery/reviews area (same as on the old board).
