Maybe I have done something wrong by trying to correct it?

Any info or similar would be appreciated

If it is your first Breitling, I would suggest the Super Avenger since it is probably becoming one of the more iconic Breitling models. The SOH is a beautiful watch, and arguably has close to just as much wrist presence, however the Super Avenger serves a purpose, and that is sheer size and wow-factor, and as far as that goes, very few watches can compete with it in that area.

The SOH to me is more of a second Breitling than a first Breitling.

I have decided to gift my self a breitling for my birthday which is 3 weeks away. I am very confused b/w the SOH CHRONOGRAPH and the Super avenger with the new baton markers.

Off late reading the reviews online and seeing the pictures, the wire mesh bracelet and the understated elegance of the SOHC is slowly seducing me….on the other hand, the sheer size of the super avenger is hard to dismiss straight up !!

i tried both of them at a local AD and yet no verdict…..got a few suggestions , it going to be my first breitling giving company to my panerai and AP RO

I just bought my Heritage 46 black/steel bracelet last week and been utterly happy ever since.

Now, my story begins with getting the Emergency(yellow dial/titatnium strap) in 2005 for my graduation present from my lovely mUm

Ever since I followed toys for big boys Breitling was the benchmark of watch craftsmanship to my knowledge.

Nevertheless, after a lot of traveling and interaction with unique & obsessed individuals for horology and wrist timing, I became educated meticulously about several other brands which even worsened my watch addiction more.

They’re 1)IWC 2) AP 3) Patek 4)Vacheron.C 5) Panerai 6) Zenith 7)Glassute 8)Breguet 9)Jager Lecoultre and etc…

Not that I didn’t know these brands, but frankly I had no idea, just like the mass population when they address exclusive watches just as same as a 50$ Swatch
(perhaps they might be politicaly correct).
But started to study their sheer elements and philosophy, and at the end, I felt most comfortable and soul-mated with IWC.

Now I don’t how just felt after reading the last sentence, but to my view IWC just completes Breitlings existence and sculptures it by many means.

Hence, it did intrigued me when I read Richard said “I am still trying to decide. But soon I will be joining the Breitling team and leaving my roots forever.”

Just when I lost faith in this weird feeling that I have, he proved me wrong.You see I generally felt that those who wear Rolex, will prejudicely stay with it and never discover the beauty of the huge choices.
I don’t have any personal agenda really about Rolex, it’s just the fact that it’s TOO recognized and isn’t kept exclusive in terms of image and opulence.
All my mid level managers in the company as soon as they get their first raise they quickly rush for a typical gmt or submarine and change their car’s finance from VW to AUDI
It was always hard to digest the same routine that everybody follows.
I say , since there are more than 100 proper watchmakers, why do the mass have end up choosing the MASS PRODUCER.

Lets not get dragged away, shall we..

Bottom line, it took a big courage to sell my gift watch and put a big chunk of my beloved savings on the top and buy the IWC BIG PILOT which is the flagship with 7 day power reserve 46.2 mm.

For me, no other watch gave me the best feeling when I was trying on most available watches when buying.( I’m talking about Selfridges & Harrods). Although I should add that I don’t do my shopping from there.

After all, I then decided to harm the Big Pilot less and keep it for special occasions and bring in a smaller sister that’d preserve the same size, and yet there is the Heritage 46

I confess, I did first wanted the Panerai new generation that comes in 47mm!!! but it was a serious purchase and would make no sense of buying a practical daily watch.

I hope you find my comment interesting!

Best wishes for you and your wife!
enjoy everyday of life as it’s precious!
Kind regards,
Sam

Actually, Rolex has brought out a larger sub in the new SeaDweller Deepsea. It is very large, and very nice!

Having said that, I am more of a Breitling Guy overall than I am a Rolex guy and personally think the design of the Chronomat and Blackbirds are superior, especially when the new B01 movement makes its way into more models.
