Breitling SuperOcean Heritage 21j from Silix

[franklin69]

I fell in love with this watch the moment I saw it on Silix prime.
I am really not a Breitling fan (bezels and dials too frilly), but this one stole my heart with its minimalist design.
Then I read SD4K's review (here: viewtopic.php?f=115&t=36648) and I was sold: I knew I had to have one.
In the end I went for the 21j version though, after Silix confirmed this is the same as the ETA in all but movement and price ($160 vs $260...)
This is a big watch (46 or 47 mm) and the strap must be designed for those wishing to wear it over a diving suit, because I had to take out the equivalent of 4 links.
I really love it though! It is a nice chucky sports watch and a real quality rep.

Apologies for the poor quality pics and the dirty watch. (I do wear them, you know!) There are plenty of nicer pics on RWI though; just use the search function.

I whole heartedly agree about Breitling being too "frilly" for me comment. This minimalistic model looks awesome. I however, can only wear 42-44mm max so it's a no go for me.

These are great pics by the way. I wish I could only take pics like these. With my poor camara and skills, I can't even get close to these. Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks Tranman. I try but check out the reviews done by Pix and you'll see what proper picture taking is like.

I never seem to be able to get the angles quite right, avoid the glare or get my watches clean enough!
