The Breitling 7753

I recently sold my Breitling SuperOcean Heritage Chronographe 44 that had the Valjoux 7753 base also. While I originally wasn't the biggest fan of the brand, I found the quality of the watch to be fantastic and it was deadly accurate. The SOH and the Navi you have on your wrist are great timepieces and I hope to enjoy the pleasure of owning another in the future. My biggest complaint was the lack of quick date setting (as stated above as well). From what I understand, the 7753 comes standard with a push-date setting at 10 o'clock which I find to be an extremely nice feature. As a matter of fact I have a 7753 on my wrist now with that feature and it's great. I'm not exactly sure why Breitling would strip that functionality away from the watch.

Am in the exact situation. And for the same reasons, guess we all are, from pulling the trigger. Likewise, never had a passion for vintage. IMO, one of the better modern iteration of an icon. Hell! I even considered a destro version of the Navitimer, whic...

Passion!

Yes, we should always let passion be the decider! Passion trumps all other "reasons", because mechanical timepieces are not all that "rational" to begin with (",) I don't really have a similar story but made a (for me) relatively large bet on a DB27 that ...
