That color is so beautiful and if I wait not sure how many (and how long) it would take to find one in the pre owned market. Such a tough decision

I agree, sometimes the rubber strap is just comfortable as opposed to very nice looking. My superocean came with a rubber strap but I've changed it to a high polish breitling braclet.

This helps with the hit, but if I were to flip them then I would still take a bit of a loss in the market. The key is to get in at the best price you can and love it. Don't buy it as an investment.

Got my first Breitling from a Breitling Shop and they gave me 15% I believe, still kind of pricey but I suppose as an official breitling store they can't go much lower than that. late I learned about their value depreciation.

IMO the only thing a rolex platona has going for itself is that it is a 40 (i suppose) and more people can pull it off. Breitlings tend to be heavy headded and quite large at 42. Aside from that, can't wait to check this one out at a local shop, I think it looks amazing and you'd get a lot of positive looks wearing this watch.
