Absolutely. My first luxury watch was a Breitling. I didn’t have it long as I became the constant flipper. But what a stunning piece. The polish was perfectly executed. Almost GS level. My wife always said it was her favorite watch I’ve owned. She loved the bling. Maybe some day I’ll pick one up again. Great video as always.

Finally doing the Chronomat! I congratulate you on this choice after having suggested this model to you! Your videos are always beautiful master pieces and always enjoyable! Keep up the good work!! It does work better on a metal strap/bracelet! Go Breitling and your kind words…. Rolex is for everyone, Breitling is for the connoisseur!

Nicely done - love Breitling, and the Chronomat has always held a special place in my heart. My very first luxury watch purchase was my dream B01 Navitimer "Legacy" Edition (came out in 2020 and includes the wings, hence legacy version) and it's just a phenomenal brand with first class fit and finish. Keep up the great work!

Great video. In a world where it seems 90% of people only like 2 or 3 watch brands I can't help but love it when people actually buy what they like rather than always worrying about it increasing in value, if a watch does gain value that's awesome if it doesn't you've still had an item you have really enjoyed and hopefully gained some memories with.
@Mister19Eleven3 жыл бұрын
That’s a beauty and a helluva addition to your collection. Popular current preference for quite some time definitely seems to lean towards simpler cleaner dials which I do like. But there is something to be said about the technical beauty of Breitling with their many details and busy dials that speaks to their craftsmanship and design attention.

Mate, I think your Windrider video quite simply is your best work. It gave me the courage to finally drop 4 figures on a watch and here I am with a new Breitling Avenger 43mm GMT on my wrist making my balls swell a little bit! THIS is a gorgeous piece. I think the reason Breitling fell out of favour is because the style through the noughties simply became too busy, chunky and dare I say masculine to lead the market when other values were on the rise. Elegance, minimalism and the ascent of the metro/beta male meant that Breitling with its aesthetic was never gonna lead the market, although it would still be a player. I think what we’re seeing now from Breitling under Kern is a real paring back… a streamlining in many senses. But he’s doing well in not straying too far from what the loyal fans always loved, whilst opening up to folks that historically wouldn’t have come near the brand. Anyway, I love that other channels unboxings are five mins and yours are half hour explorations of cinema, wine, sculpture, steel commentary and comparisons with other models. Sante and Salut big man. Thanks for being here. 🍷 🍻

Great video again - thanks. Very timely as today I'm celebrating my own unboxing of the watch I've wanted since 1989 when I bought a datejust (which was a stretch in its own right) because I couldn't afford the pepsi which was next to it in the window (back in the day...). So 30 odd years and a few more watches later I finally got a call for the 126710 BLRO. I thought I'd share with you as my wife doesn't understand :-).

Sirio head run- now to my comment…. WoW what’s detailed fit and finish watch and some large proportions to accentuate that. I too do not care for the ‘slab sided’ watches. Even in my entry level of affordability available to me, the curved sides wear so much more efficiently as in many of Seiko’s popular models. Just something to be said for in wearability. Fantastic piece! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊

Thank you very much for you inspiring review here! Fact is Breitling is a dead milestone! Georges Kern is the Undertaker of this brand. 80% of the Watches from the 2018 catalog have now disapared. This particular watch is the last of the real craftmanship of this once famous brand. You watch closely and see similaraties of Maurice Lacroix,and not speaking of the new "Pastel Collection"inspired by the Pantone catalog.
