Liking the look of that Breitling. I find Breitlings to be a bit on the "bling" side for my taste, but I do like the look of this Superocean. How long have you owned it? As for Breitling's current line-up, my favorite is the Colt automatic 41 mm and I was considering one, along with a TAG Heuer Aquaracer WAY211A - until my dad gifted me his Omega SMP. Anyway, nice watch.

Actually I got it from my dad and he bought it from our local AD 2006 馃憤 he just doesnt wear it anymore since he bought a Super Avenger chrono and other watches 馃槣

Some photos from last night, was invited to dinner and guided tour of Breitling nordic HQ and service center in Stockholm. I know its not Tag Heuer but perhaps some of you appreciates the photos anyway. Sweden is a big market for Breitling and there are approx 20 people working there! Most services done locally, only old vintage sent to Switzerland.

Can't beat that! Congrats on the Breitling. I think I like your version more than the current one!

I almost bought the chronograph aquaracer before. Was a hard battle between the 3 hander and the chronograph. (Although it was still the black on black version like my current 3 hander).
I wonder the accuracy of the chronograph one.

Great looking watch by the way !

Thank you sir! Now that the watch is on the rubber strap, I think I like it even more!

As for the accuracy, I don't seem to have any issues with it at all. I personally think you should send your Aquaracer to TAG and have them take a look.

Air Force today.
Still too warm and humid for leather-strapped Carreras.

I was at the airport yesterday and saw some interesting IWC

What interest me is that the price is about SGD6000. Which is very cheap considering IWC (although in my book i don't rate them too highly). Of course they said its the ETA one, not the in-house (in-house easily cost at least double the price). But it just i never keep up with IWC, that i didnt know they entry level was at that price.
