Tantrum??? Merely proving a point.

What happened? I blacked out.


And Thrak, the Arabic dials were the original release, then came the batons and the split arabic. All style are available at any vendor for BNIB purchase in 2009 as long as thats the one they got in... and the one you want.

As my local Breitling authorized dealers stated.... They don't often know what they are gettign in new orders. apparently they just spend their designated purchase per month and stuff comes in. Do i neccesarrily believe that... No... Hence why they always try and sell you whats there at that point in time.... so they wont have to special order it in.

It is possible that vendors sell NOS if it didn't sell well initially and space-in-the-case is limited... But that isnt the case because the Super Avengers "fly off the shelves" and the case that they are in is HUGE. I will check my COSC when i get home though just to make sure.

But I'm not a watch guy so what do I know.
They are referring to the black face with black subdials, that was new for 2009.

The hour markings are known as "batons" and those were intro'd in 2006 IIRC. the arabics were intro'd on the original release of 2004, and the split arabic was late 2008 intro.

Sure seems strange that the fakes on watchwoot look more like the one you showed than the ones on the actual Breitling site.

I dig watches but most of mine are old and don't work

Only rolex I ever owned was an Air King, and I sold it for 300 bucks in the 80's cause I was a dumb kid.

I will get some pictures of mine and post em though...a couple of real cool oldies.

Those are Folex's. My wife bought them for me, as a joke, on the mean streets of NYC. The silver one died and I keep the gold one incase I need some bling for a costume.

Oh... I kind of thought that, but wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. That blue subdial Daytona would easily be 30k if it was real.

Is the Omega Seamaster also a replica? That watch is a very nice. I had one at one time, but then went with the larger Planet Ocean.

Not a big collector but this is my daily watch.



Omega Seamaster Automatic bought new in 2001. Only loses about 30 seconds a month and has yet to be opened up or serviced.

I've been wearing this watch for 4 years. Keeps good time. loses 2-3 seconds a day. The strap is just starting to tear at the clasp.
I have a few old pocket watches too. I'll try to put up pic's.

This is my everyday watch which I've been wearing for about 8 years now.

Breitling B1



Just got one of these last year as a wedding gift from my wife:

Breitling Montbrillant Legende



My grandfather always wore a Breitling and he was someone I had a lot of love for. Sadly he passed away many years ago and my older brother now wears his watch. To honor this wonderful man's memory in a small way I wear a Breitling everyday.

IWC's are good watches. Ususally understated and no one is going to cut your hand off for one or ask if it's real. A watch for when someone wants a time piece, not a status symbol as no one outside of watch people would ever look twice at them.

I've had this watch since '98. Been serviced twice. The most recent service last year, I replaced the bearing on the swing mass. It some play want wasn't winding the watch correct. I also had the 15 minute indiactors, and hands done again with luminova. When the service was done, my watch was within a few seconds a day acurate in 5 positions. I have the ticker tape somewhere. Very impressive job my friend did on the service.
