I don't know all that much about Breitlings, so I can't say I have a "grail" watch. I sure like how the B-2 looks, though:  |

Hey guys, question from a Omega guy.. What would be a/the/your ''Grail'' Breitling... Not sure - there is such a broad range of models it's difficult to pick just one.... that's why I have three  B-1 Crosswind Special Limited Edition Navitimer Montbrillant All so different - all so Breitling!! |

I do like Breitling as well. There have a quite a following here in Australia. The 'Grail' model would have to be the Navitimer range. My favorite is the Wordltimer.

Hard to tell with Breitlings... Maybe that Bentley Mulliner Tourbillon... listed at $152,000 though... Meanwhile, here is one my Breitlings that I really really like  Navitimer World   |

Thanks It is 46mm, I believe it is the largest Navitimer... It is on a custom Shark strap with red stitching, here... |

GREAT Navitimer indeed... But you mentioned as this beeing the largest Navitimer... How many sizes are there.. My Montbrillant is 38mm - one of the smallest - the www.breitling.com website lists them all |

Hi, Gerard. Much as I have always disliked diamonds on a gent's watch, I have come close to changing my mind now. Wifey and I saw a slate dial, black subdials Chronomat Evolution on PIlot bracelet a couple of weeks ago at Tourneau's. I've attached a nicked pic of that basic model below. Problem is, the watch in the case had a factory diamond bezel and I have to tell you, I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful watch. She and I both thought it was the best looking men's watch we had ever seen. I suppose I could start selling my Navi's and Cosmo's but how can one abandon tradition and class? The CE itself is a top shelf Breitling but with VVS top Wesseltons smiling back at you, it is more than an attractive nuisance for sure. LOL. The pic below simply cannot do justice to that piece for sure... Cheers, Ron  |
