Great-looking Breitling. Love a white dial. Good choice. I wear a Breitling Colt for all my sporty activities. :thumbup:

^^^ cheers guys :thumbup:

I didnt know if people had a bit of a problem with Breitling as theres not many pictured on the forum...?

If there was, it wouldnt have stopped me buying it, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder etc as we all know, but im glad a few agree its different to the "standard" shades of blue everyone else does, and as ive said before, I like watches others dont have!

Looks great! I'd definitely recommend the blue Erika's Originals MN strap - extra comfy for those warm summer days too!

Either full blue or with the lumed centre line (I have the latter on my Seamaster).

I second the thumbs up for Erikasoriginals MN straps. They’re more expensive than the cheaper copies by some margin, but the quality is excellent and I would argue a fine watch like your new Breitling is worth the extra. WatchObsession is a decent outfit, but ordering directly from Erika gives you a custom made article with a far greater choice - of any colour combination of her webbing, stripe (including lumed) and stitching, and a choice of 4 or 5 hardware options. She also makes them to your specific size requirements, so it will fit perfectly.

A little late to the welcome party but it is worth it.

Top notch acquisition Paul and to hell with the 'Summer Watch' classification, that one has got to be good all year round. :clap: :clap:

Breitling is a brand I might dabble in at some stage, but I haven't quite got there yet. :-k :-k

I came to look at the watch which is lovely by the way, but it's end up costing me a new strap. I've not seen those Erika straps but will be ordering one later this evening.
