inquiring about breitling

[htc8p]

what is the equivalent of 16610 in breitling.

40mm size but rated at 300M

not to thick and heavy.

Thank you.

Colt GMT. 40mm + 500M

or

Colt Automatic II. 41mm + 500M

Might also consider the Superocean Steelfish - it has a stunning dial, a 2000 meter depth rating and looks great on a strap or a metal braclet. I actually prefer the cream dial with the brown leather strap.

how is the lume? and the bracelet feel? but i want the dial of the avenger in the size of the colt. is that possible?

Well, i couldn't tell you because i dont own a colt. The only breitling i own is the superocean steelfish (which i highly recommend). It's technically 44mm but it runs smaller on the wrist due to the nature of the dail. I don't know about the colt series, but the steelfish lume is top notch!

As far as bracelets go, it doesn't get much better than breitling. They make some of the best bracelets in the business. No worries there.

Don`t forget about Superocean models, both old and new. All of them have much bigger depth ratings than Submariner, and quality is remarkable. They all (Superocean, Steelfish and Heritage) are powered with highest grade ETA 2824-2 certified chronometers.
I recommend older Superocean, it`s handsome watch for reasonable price. Lume is good on both Superocean models, but not as good as, for example, Seiko Monster.
You can`t go wrong with Breitling, whatever model you choose.
One more suggestion, go for model with bracelet, is`s slightly more priced, but much, much cheaper than to buy bracelet independently.
