The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Yet more great pics of a fantastic watch. Would never have thought of that combo but IT WORKS!

Thanks, Jhowton.

Very nice! What AD in Chicago did you go to? I bought my SO Steelfish at www.prestigetime.com but I'd like to have a more local dealer for the future...

Thanks!

Hey that looks great on the croco!

What colour is it by the way? And no, I'm not colour-blind! I can see it looks brown, but is it actually brown or is it the gold colour strap?

It's actually closer to a dark tan colour than the normal dark brown crocodile straps that I've seen before. I almost rejected it when the salesperson pulled it out of the drawer for that reason, I had pictured the darker crocodile strap. After a closer look, it seemed unusual enough that I decided to take it. I wouldn't say it's gold either, maybe it was an indoor croc and didn't get as much sun as the others

Well, it looks darn fine either way! Nice going!

Burdeen's in Buffalo Grove. It's a family owned store and they were pretty nice to deal with during the process. They also carry Bell & Ross and Ulysee Nardin and have a very large selection of Breitlings. I walked away with a decent discount without having to ask for it and they gave me some fantastic catalogues from all of their lines, a microfiber cloth and a Bell & Ross baseball cap.

There was one negative, however, they forgot to include the links they removed from the bracelet which isn't a too of a problem since they agreed to mail them to me. Upon receiving them tonight, however, I only received two links. Breitling bracelets usually require 4 links to be required to fit me properly (at least that was the case with the SOH, I have a 7-1/4" wrist) and they only sent me three of the four screws which makes one of the links useless. And it came with postage due which was also a bit irritating. I am going to email them and see what happens. Aside from that, I love the watch, it's by far my favorite watch I have owned.
