Horological Meandering

Since Breitling was asked about ...

 

... I grasp the opportunity to show a few pictures of my most conspicious watch: Chronomaster 44 "Raven":










Its B01 movement experienced several problems, unfortunately, and needed repair twice within a bit more than a year of ownership. It returned from a major overhaul (replacement of many parts) just recently, and I am still testing it. However, I really love its bold looks and good legibility, and I am even thinking about adding another, with Italian context:






Then there is this beautiful SuperOcean Heritage with its copper-brwon lacquered dial: absolutely striking!







I still love that watch, despite its oversized diameter of 46mm. It has an ETA 2824 in it, COSC certified, which performs reliably and accurately since years.

I am a little worried about the heat behind it but the environment suits it. But being a sea lover the SuperOcean is simply super. Thanks for sharing. Bill

As a matter of fact, there wasn't any heat ...

The "fire" are rests of the bbq igniter that fell through the grating, in safe distance of the watch. It was a rather lucky shot with longer exposure time. Marcus

Breitling Punished

Marcus, So you punished your "Raven" Breitling for bad behaviour by Fire? I think Breitling makes nice watches but the company owners are a little strange...a Black Hole....no relationships. No invites to the Baselworld Breitling Palace. No watch speciali...  

Maybe they dislike questions of well-informed people?

I just collected several other experiences of dealers with flaws in the manufacture movement, which would further underline the advantages of going with an industry standard, movement-wise. Marcus
