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.
