Thanks! Yes, it'll be my first from the formerly winged-B. I'll post some pics when I receive it. It has a manual movement and a plexiglass, so it should be epic.
Sounds like they know how to do proper re-editions
Finally a crystal that Hubert likes
Picture doesn’t work for me? Although very few pictures appear but need a link clicked to appear.
Looking forward to your pics!
My Navitimer ref 806 re-edition has the same manual wind movement and plexi domed crystal. I really wish TAG Heuer had gone this route on the heritage Carreras. It would've meant a slimmer case and no milky ring distortion.
Here's a profile shot. Not thin by any means, but it wears really nice
^Looks great! Thanks for the pics!
That seems thicker than I'd thought it would be for a manual wind. The Navitimer ref. 806 1959 re-edition is only 12.9mm in thickness, and a good chunk of that is the dome crystal.
During my last Breitling boutique visit I was surprised how chunky, shiny and unrefined most watches looked. It’s no longer Breitling for Bentley but for Cobra, Mustang and Corvette. The Premier was the only one midly interesting. The watches at TAG Heuer looked exquisite in comparison.
The Breitling boutique experience is impressive though. This is their big seller I reckon. Noobs walk in and see the great colour ways, vintage bikes, old school branding and buy a watch.
Reminds me of what Bremont boutiques were doing a few years back (especially the London ones).
Breilting I fee are stuck somewhat between their 'big' watch past and new CEOs vision.
Premier range IMHO are the pick of the bunch, although RRP is crazy & I think the TH 42mm Elegant Carreras are nicer
