overcoil · 01-03-2019, 07:36 AM

It is an amazing case, the lugs around the bracelet. The design never ages.

A Beauty OP. You will now slowly become addicted to Rolex watches. Welcome to the club.

gunsmoker · 01-04-2019, 09:35 PM

I'd take a Breitling over a Rolex any time. To each his own.

Yes, and the real benefit to getting a new breitling is the immense drop in value and ability to order them at discount virtually everywhere lol...

Also... not everyone wants a 44mm tank on their arms.
