Breitling B1 or Aerospace Titanium ?

[Mozzer]

Anyone got one or both of these and can give me any advice ?

I think I want the Aerospace as they are less bling and the titanium makes it much lighter, but I could be tempted.

Why is nothing ever easy ?

Also anyone got an Omega Speedsonic with original and complete "lobster tail" bracelet that they dont want any more ?

Neither.................
I would (in fact I did) buy one of these...............

OMEGA Watches: Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronometer - Steel on steel - 231.10.42.21.06.001

Fitted with the George Daniels co-axial movement, its something that very few can fully appreciate.

And its lovely looking timepiece as well.

Is this new or used?

I have an Aerospace Titanium (not the modern Aerospace advantage - they become really big and Bulky).

Identical to this one:-

Nice watch, but I've already got a few Omega's (one very similar) so the only one I am still looking for is the Speedsonic.

I have an Aerospace Professional, having had the same dilemma. I decided the B2 was too big, too fussy and too footballerish. I also have a small wrist and the B2 would probably have stuck out over the edges. It's also very light.

The Aerospace is a superb watch. It's been worn every day for many years and is unmarked, thanks to the titanium body and sapphire crystal.

The titanium makes it weigh nothing which I really like about it.

The one picture has a Professional Bracelet also in titanium and was the last of the pre "advantage" models - model number E75362 and the most sought after.

It was at the time the only quartz watch to ever be a certified chronometer (in it's final model form).

Unless you have solid and sizeable arms/wrists, I would go for the Aerospace.

My Chronomatic 24H is stainless steel and although considerably more svelte than my Ti Chrono Avenger, it is massively heavier and you notice the extra weight during the day.

Rolex Datejust every time for me - had mine over 20 years and been as good as gold - sorry stainless steel.

Thanks guys, I knew there would be some owners on here, Aerospace it is then I think as I wear my Sprint more than my Navitimer purely due to the weight. Just need to find one within budget now...

Re Rolex, already got a Sub

So now I have visions of men in black trenchcoats standing around in a car park with couple of large black Mercedes Benz menacing in the shadows.

"Hey meester, you want buy niiice watch. Is Rolex, verry good. You like, yes?"

Out of the darkness, there is the sound of a baseball bat softly patting against a thickly leathered glove....

"Oh yes, I think you will like very much to buy a watch...."

Submariner, not sub machine gun

Good review of the E75362. That's the model I have and I would agree with everything said in it.

Sub is prob the best all rounder watch I know. Suits all weathers - shorts in the sun, DJ on a big night out, swimming, flying, sports, indoors, outdoors, work, play etc etc.

+ they last forever. Send a sub in for service and it comes back looking new.

 

[Mozzer]

Done



Thanks for the input guys 75362 purchased, itch scratched.

 

[Mozzer]

Scratch that just chopped it in for the B1

That B1 is one lovely looking watch
