·Much prefer the black and gold one, has a certain 70/early 80s cool to it.

·I do think Brew watches are interesting. I am not a fan of the mecha-quartz movement, though (had a couple of microbrand watches and it wasn't very reliable or nice to use). Prefer the original steel and multi-colour dial to the gold as well.
There’s something about a gold watch that I like. Not actual gold, just the look of it that I like.

·How about this Farer for £535 (also quartz)? Also suggest checking out Timefactors in this price range.
I wasn’t planning to actually buy anything for a while, but these emails sneak up on you…

·I like the look of that Brew. Everyone needs a gold watch in their collection 👍

·Hah! We are not your wife, you can be honest with us, this is a safe space.
Wife didn’t bat an eyelid when I showed her earlier, which doesn’t help in a perverse manner.

Not seen that version. Very nice indeed.
I really like the Swissair version too.

·Just realised that’s a new release @Mspeedster. Nicely spotted. £7.3k is a wedge though.

It will be interesting to see how fast these sell out compared to the 60th Anniversary Carrera. Currently available on the Breitling US website.

·I just clocked the 747 on the Cashback, as looked to see if they had used the logo on the sapphire back, like the Swissair version. I think they’ve done this one better, plus they have used the better looking logo once more. Very cool that.
The 60th Anniversary Carrera isn’t sold out btw. WoS site shows they have stock in at least 3 stores, for example.
The question is, which one is the nicer watch!?!

Regarding being sold out, I'm just going by the websites. No doubt there are some left in Boutiques here & there, and some that get returned so the watch becomes available again. In the US, it has long been sold out on the website and Boutiques, pretty much within 24 hours. @Speedy Collector (who's in the US) was looking hard for one, but none available. Then one of the Boutiques got one returned, so he was able to get one.
Same situation probably will happen with the 747 Navitimer, just curious to see how long before it's sold out on Breitling's website as a general gauge.

·I suppose it depends upon whether one is more of a Navitimer fan or Carrera fan. I like both, but the Carrera fits better in my collection. Already have two other Navitimers and don't need a third.

I have neither Carrera nor Navitimer, but both are very appealing to me. I am leaning towards the Navitimer though, as I have one TAG Heuer but no Breitling yet. 😀
They are rather large watches though, the Navitimer. Which ones do you have and what size are they vs your wrist size? How do they wear in reality?

·Sold out on website is a fair like for like comparison, I agree with you.

I have slim wrists, about 6.7" or just under 17cm. So 43mm is about my limit. My first Navitimer was ref. A23322, which has long been out of production. I love the color and also because it's smaller at 41.5mm (although most sites say 42mm.)
A few years ago I added the Navitimer ref. 806 1959 re-edition. It's even smaller at 40.9mm. Also fairly thin due to its manual wind movement, at 12.9mm thickness which includes a very high domed plexi crystal.

·Wow. Both epic!
I have never seen the first one. That colour is amazing, fair play.
I definitely need to get saving. Think the Brew has to be left alone if I am ever to put enough aside for a Navitimer. 😀

·That dark green Seamaster is so sexy. Probably hard to get as C24 prices are higher than retail 🙄
