Love the look of the Mondaine watches. I can't wear them though because of the small size. I like 42mm to about 47mm watches. Some 42mm watches are to small, like the Squale 1521. I was going to buy the Squale instead of the Tissot but it was to small for my liking.

Nice! It looks like they have a 43mm option too.

I've had my eye on this watch for almost 4 years, took a break from my IEM addiction and finally took the plunge. Love it, absolutely beautiful watch.

What. Been here for a while and somehow never noticed this thread. Watches. Lots of interesting stuff to look at, regardless of type and cost. I can browse this for hours.

One can get attached to any watch and after some time they become special, companions.
Here's my two most used friends... it's usually one or the other every day. I tried collecting but it's not for me. Just like the warm familiarity of the same thing on the wrist until it's time to move on due to any unforeseen occurrences.

It had been a number of years since I got really excited about a watch. When the B09 pistachio came out I really liked the design, but was just meh about the color. I actually used to really like green on watches, however with the flood of green over the last 2 years I've become jaded. I was looking at pictures of the Datora when I came across a picture of this limited edition; I couldn't be happier with it. The dial goes from blue-purple to red-black depending on light source and levels.

Magnificent watch.
Nobody does a bold dress chronograph like Breitling.

Here's my Premier - one of my all-time favourites.
I could stare at this dial all day...

Breitling is a brand I didn't know much about, I got into watches in the late 00s, at that time they just weren't doing anything that interested me. I was and still remain hesitant to get into vintage, so even though watches like your premier are my style I don't know if I will ever travel that road. The service from the manager of the socal boutiques was superb. I was asking for a 250pc limited edition over a year after it launched so I honestly did not expect to get it. I may have gotten it because I called every boutique in the western USA. I was doing yard work when I saw a socal number calling me. It was a wonderful surprise. The new direction of the brand that started ~5 years ago has been amazing and I feel like they keep getting better. I could see myself with another Breitling in the future.

I seem to be in some sort of minority in absolutely adoring this watch.
Certainly IWC did not sell a ton of them (which suits me just fine).

It is definitely one of those watches that must be seen in the metal to fully appreciate.

Gorgeous watch! IWC is one of my favorite watch brands. Really like the utilitarian feel with a splash of gold.

I like the shape of the indices a lot. White/silver dials in photos and video are hard. They all tend to appear the same, but then in person the subtle ness comes out.

Replaced the factory bracelet on my Tissot. This is a Staib 22mm Milanese bracelet. It’s quite an upgrade. So fluid and comfortable.
