    Does anyone own a Breitling watch? I really like the Colt Chrono. Are they worth the price? Most of them range between 4-6k, this one is 2k. I have a bunch of stuff sitting in my garage I can sell on ebay and hopefully get close to enough for that watch, so I have been debating it, but it is alot to spend on an accessory...

    That's a lot of money.

    I'm not going to tell you how to spend it though. I'm sure it's a fine watch.

    I can not imagine spending 2K on a watch.

    $100-$125 is about what I pay for a watch.

    This is my current $100 watch:

    If you are a sucessful business person, you need a great watch to compliment.

    First thing I notice when I meet a client is their watch.

    My watch that I paid $9k for:

    Don't get me wrong. A good watch is worth money.

    I paid $600 for mine and It's worked great for 5 years.

    If your Into watches then hey, go for it.

    I've spend thousands on Audio equipment so what the hell.

    Breitling makes excellent watches. May also want to consider the Omega Seamasters Quartz.

    Interesting. The first thing I would look at would be their eyes... windows to the soul and all that.

    Anyway, here's my watch, the Casio PAW1100T-7V TITANIUM Pathfinder Atomic Solar Triple Sensor...

    [​IMG]

    Atomic timekeeping and solar powered... I never have to wind it or change the batteries or worry about accuracy... plus it has everything I need for my job:

    compass
    altimeter
    altitude alarm
    altimeter memory and graphs
    barometer
    thermometer
    water resistant to 100m
    5 daily alarms
    countdown timer
    all time zones
    stopwatch
    hourly signals
    calendar
    24 hour format
    low temperature resistant
    titanium and so far, scruff and dent-proof

    I paid $189 with a Penney's coupon.

    It's cheaper because it's quartz. At least that's what Wikipedia makes it sound like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitling. AFAIK, typically watchmakers are perfectly happy charging the same or similar prices for quartz vs. automatic watches of the same line.

    i thought a similar thing but it must be a salesperson thing. If the person i'm doing business with was that interested in my watch, i wouldnt want to do business with them.

    If you've got the money to spend, and you want it, go for it. But good Lord.......if I thought I was being judged by my watch, I'd be pretty leary about business dealings with those doing the judging. Not saying I wouldn't do business with them........I'd just know that we have different values.

    But know this, now more than ever, a fine watch is just a piece of mechanical jewelery.

    I own the Omega Planet Ocean Co-Axial. If you decide to get a Breitling or any of the fine watches, it will probably be the last watch you ever own. They last forever.
