The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello everyone here's a brief introduction.....

I am 21 from the UK, and have always since I can remember had some fascination with timepieces.

My first were gifts for christmas, things like a £20 Timex, and when you're ten, that's expensive

About three years ago I was taken aback by the uniqueness of Breitling. I didn't want to spend out on the real thing so I bought myself a replica to see what it was like. It was pretty good I must say. From then on I knew I had to get a gen.

Then I found out about the Aerospace Ltd Ed watch. It was a Harrier version, issued to the RN pilots. I had to have it. Anyway three years later, and a big search I finally bought it.

I will post pics tomorrow!

Good to be part of a forum dedicated to Breitling!

Welcome aboard!

There's a few members from across the pond here. There are several here that are very knowledgeable about timepieces.

I just looked up the watch you mentioned (Not the £20 Timex! Ha!)...Very cool. So they issued these to Royal Navy pilots? Nice bonus for being a Royal Navy pilot! Love the Harrier, I'll be sad to see it go when they retire it over here.

Welcome again!

Welcome.

They did indeed, only 50 made as far as I know. Now I need to get myself through the RN's AIB and through to Valley on the fast jet pipeline haha



Yes it will be a sad day when it is decommisioned! I know the JSF will be far superior, but the Harrier has character! I think the Navy pilots were pretty peeved when they decommisioned the FA2 over here(the one my Aerospace is based upon) , as they're now using the RAF variant of the Harrier.

Thanks for the welcome!

Don't know much about jets, but that F-35 that was in Live Free Die Hard was insane!!!

Welcome to the forum!
