Any Breitling Fans?

That's a beaut, Clark!
I love Breitling's, but I don't have one yet.
But, in the vain of high end watches, you'll appreciate this story.
Coming in from Cigar Tuesdays from my buddies this week, I tripped in the pouring down rain crashing down on my Speedy Pro cracking the crystal. Of course it was "Speedy Tuesday" so I shrugged off the impulse to wear one of my cheap watches.
Already at the watchmaker for repairs; I only cracked the crystal with the "ever so slightest" abrasion to the bezel between 11-12 which can be easily sanded and buffed out. Unfortunately, the Hesalite crystal has to come from Switzerland though.
$250 and two weeks, not bad imo.

That’s one of my biggest worries when riding my bicycle, falling and landing on my watch; I usually wear my Omega Seamaster Pro 300.

I usually wear my GShock for golf and other activities, but Tuesday's are infamously called "Speedy Tuesday" and it over-road the desire to wear my Seiko that night, which in retrospect was a good idea because my Seiko Sportura is rarer and definately harder to repair or replace. lol

All nice watches and would love to own a Rolex or Breitling, but I could never pull the trigger so to speak. I have some nice watches, but all in the 500 to 1k range.

I own a gold and stainless Chronomat Grand Totalizer with a blue face and gold subdials. It's a nice statement piece.

I acquired a Beitling chronograph back around 1970 or so.
Kind of like a panda style.
Turns out it was a rare low production model.
I enjoyed it but it spent most of its life in storage.
I sold it some 8 years ago or so after discovering it was a rare one.
Very nice vintage,not the monster size.
Although I must admit that the watches I own for the most part are large for easy reading!

Very nice Breitling CH4!

Yes, as you should have; that price is way out of line. Here's my latest:

Please forgive the reflections in the crystal.

Nice sprite! Just saw a used Daytona stainless (reverse panda) for $28k. For that price it should be the white gold. Crazy

The last two sprites I’ve seen recently, were in Vegas and Munich. Both about $20 used. I paid $13 for my hulk in 2019 in Hanoi at an AD.
