Bought this beautiful Breitling Chronomat some 7-8 years ago.
At the beginning it was my daily beater.
But somehow slowly it got forgotten and mostly spent time in boxes instead of my wrist.
Changed several straps on it but nope it was steal in shadow of new purchases.
If thought about selling it.
Somehow few weeks a go it crossed my mind to put back my ss bracelet and repolish it with cape cod just to keep it alive.
And you know what , i fell in love with it again.
Wearing it every day since then :)

That is a beauty.
I've always lusted after many of the Breitling models.
They've just always been to big and thick for my comfort.
What are the dimensions on that one ?
42mm at 14mm thick is about as hefty as I'm comfortable with.
Making the Omega 2201.50 perfect.

Even smaller, its 39mm but it looks and wears bigger especially when on ss bracelet.. Wearing Pans mostly last year I thought that I will never go back to my smaller watches but i was completely wrong. Even bought Cartier Ballon Bleu that is 42mm two month a go..

That's a great looking Brietling. I agree you should not sell your rep watches because you are going to regret it soon.

That watch is a beau. Love it.
Off-topic, is that sobraine I see? Incredibly hard to get in my country.
Only had a single opportunity to smoke it. Remember loving it.
Enjoy your watch and cigs, Mate.

Nice watch. However sometimes its noce to sell a watch or two in order to replenish the Paypal for another purchase. That's part of the fun!

First of all, great watch! Thanks for this post. It reminded me how much I have neglected my older watches and haven't given them the proper wrist time. I will be going to back to my very first rep. TAG Aquaracer and remind myself how much love it. Thank you djolov

Why would you let such a beauty become forgotten and sit around in boxes OP? Glad you have found the love for it once again. Wear it will it's a stunning watch.
