Actually, the retail price is $2,495. Yeah, I don't think I want to spend that much money on a watch. I think it's better for me to use it for a good trip somewhere far away.

I only like Breitling for their embellished, over-the-top watch designs but if you want something clean just get a Tag Heuer Carrera.

I decided to buy a classic pilot watch like this...



Although not with the same style leather straps though. It'll probably get some strap that's similar to the one below

I don't want to spend like 10 grand or more on a watch. I'm planning to spend less than 1 grand on a watch now. Now, I won't be buying an IWC pilot watch but I am planning to buy a German IWC style pilot watch with Swiss movements.

Something like this...

I've always been a watch collector and have had many Breitling watches (I buy watches, the fiance buys expensive bags... it's a trade off ). The Colt is similar to my SuperOcean Steelfish (44mm).

I always received the most compliments with my old Navitimer World GMT watch:





I'm trying to locate a PAM 203 right now.

Looks nice but not my taste,... I prefer the Patek or the Piguet.

BTW in business, as far as I know,... when you write (number)MM, means millions of dollars! LOL

Of course it does, you didn't know Doc Brown and the DeLorean comes free with the watch?

I actually like it! It doesn't give off that baller status and is simple (without 10 different faces in one).

I like it. It's a very nice looking GMT.

A friend of mine has the Rolex GMTII and I have a Sub-date. I'm looking into getting a Daytona Cosmograph right now. It's the only watch that I've ever wanted at any price!

If you like it, get it. You'll have it forever.

P.s. Don't get a $200 replica. You'll know the difference.

I wanted to buy a Navitimer a few years back but I decided not to because there are some really excellent fakes out there. So, if you wear one, people will probably think it's fake. Also, Navitimers have poor water resistant ratings 30M, and it's a watch that you can't wear in the pool. Navitimer is NOT a tough watch, and after reading some post on some forums about the durability of the watch, I was totally turned off by it.

I think the best Breitling is the Chronomat Evolution and it has the best resale value. You can buy one used, wear it a few years, and sell it for almost the same price you purchased it if you keep it in good condition.

I saw a guy wearing a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona and the watch has a lot of modern and classic presence. For the price of a Cosmograph Daytona, I can buy a decent car, so I'll pass.
