^^^^^nice does the closed numbers mean it's a 2500 or 8500?

8500. It also has the smaller solver bezel ring and the more rounded hands.

I can see why it gets a lot of wear very nice watch. What size is it? I never liked breitlings until we went to an airshow recently and they had a pop up shop completely changed my opinion seeing them in the flesh

Thanks Neil. It's the Colt mark 1, 38mm diameter.

Very nice DM

Returning to LA today from Las Vegas after three days of serious damage to my liver, picture at The Venetian in the middle of the night.

I don't particularly like divers. I don't like bracelets. I don't like the look of those old Breitling bezels.

I'm wearing this today:



It gets far more wear than any of my other watches.

I like that alot - biggest watch regret I have is selling my 25 year old Colt. Great watch that never let me down.

Not something I ever thought I wanted but I needed to get shot of that infernal Eterna Pulsometer and this was already a good price for a recently Rolex serviced full set. Rather enjoying my first and last Rolex

excellent watch DM, I can see how it will be your last Rolex. Enjoy it though I bet you would.

Yep...at first underwhelmed but it's grown on me significantly. no more Rolex though, they are too expensive for me on the whole, this one was a nice bit cheaper than the OP Olive I wanted from Iconic so why not....will never get another chance. still not a big fan of modern Rolex but vintage prices are getting silly!

Thanks for kind words. May post thread next week.

Love that Colt. Don't ever sell it!

I don't really like bracelets either but they are valuable:

Late night shot with flash.

Something different for today.



That's an old style CW fitted end leather strap that it's on.

Nice reference

Great choice DM and a worthy addition to the new-look slimline collection



Have a good weekend folks

Exploring on a lovely sunny morning.
