I was just wondering if anyone else had a watch collection. I am just starting mine. a Bell & Ross just came in and I should be getting an Audemars Piguet next week.

I love Breitlings. I think they are a great entry to middle level watch.

Ah I need to find a picture of it but there is one Fossil I think is amazing. It's the one with a carbon fiber face and cf/steel wrist band. The hands are yellow. It's sooooo hot.

thats not a watch, it's compensation for men that are lacking something else.

OMG you didn't just call a Breitling an entry level watch did you? The engineering behind the watch is amazing. You need to brush up on your watch knowledge. 250k does not mean it is far superior.. IWC is another increadiable watch. they make some of the best watches. An Old Hamiltons are also a great Watches. Or you could go with a Patak Phillipe(which i think are ugly but they are very expensive) Or go with a ALAIN SILBERSTEIN again ugly but expensive. Again just cause it costs alot of money doesn't always mean it is better.

Breitlings are not just watches but instruments for Pilots. This is a company that started in 1884 and have always kept a strong following behind there product. So again Entry Level? PLEASE Thanks for the laugh.

I have a Raymond Weil Tango.. I also know absolutely nothing about watches lol.

agoodall · 07-08-2007, 08:09 PM

Blkmax · 07-08-2007, 09:13 PM

Agree to a certain point, but the CW1 is "basically" far superior. It's not one of the baller watches with a million carrots in diamonds. MPower is just trying to act cool by saying that Breitling is entry level, and is one that only looks at extreme price to somewhat expensive (in which case, compared to the Breitling posted, the Bell and Ross that he posted is the same price, can be had for less actually)

Breitlings are NOT entry level watches as design, innovation, movement, functionality, and precision all prove otherwise. Also, it depends on the function of the watch, some brands are better for divers, some are the best for pilots (bell and ross does make high quality watches, they're just so damn ugly!!! There are only about 3 models that look good IMO, and the one posted by Mpower is NOT one of them :barf: ).

Breitling > Rolex

only watch i own

TurboTagTeam · 07-09-2007, 02:47 AM

I LOVE that breitling!!! I'd love to have one. However, most of my day consists of TIG welding and wrenching on cars. I doubt that watch would appreciate that.

MPowerKai · 07-09-2007, 03:33 AM

I geuss I just like watches that you don't see everyday like Luminor Panerai.

Oh, I also think Patek Phillipe is not ugly but looks like it may be geared more for an older crowd.
