Datora, what’s not to love?

Picked up my first Breitling a few months ago and every time I wear it I am fascinated on how beautifully done the Premier Datora is.
The dial is mesmerizing, the movement is fantastic and the different strap options are a bonus. Just an absolute gorgeous piece.

So why is there no more love for this line from Breitling?

For me it's the size. I like the watch but wished they would have kept it 39mm or below.

Very nice. I purchased the gold model when they first came out. I really liked the watch but kept having issues with it. Ended up returning it after a few weeks.

This watch looks amazing. I really like the color of the dial. I’m thinking about buying one maybe this year.

As someone who has always been interested in the watch what type of issues did you experience?

The chrono failed several times and there was an issue with the moon phase. I was able to capture the failure with a video and it did act up at the boutique. It’s when this model first came out. I did not want to deal with sending a new watch back in for months that cost that amount of money.

It's too thick for me personally (doesn't sit right on my wrist), but I love the look otherwise.
