No one mentioned the Headwind here.I've owned a couple of B-lings, and the Headwind seems to stand head and shoulders above other models for me.I've owned one for a few years, but flipped it, and been missing it ever since.Last week I had a chance to pick one up, a black dialed and brushed finish on pilot bracelet.....mmmmm.

If I saw this thread earlier, I would say without a doubt Monbrillant Olimpus, like the one Rockrolex have. But lately, I become very fond of Aerospace, I saw it recently and it smiled at me in a heartbeat!
So, now I`m torn between two completely different B`lings!

I am always torn between the cronomat evolution and the navitimer.
(I guess thats why I keep flipping them for each other.)

Although I really like my Steelfish, the one for me would be the discontinued Headwind (preferably polished, white dial version) if I'm ever fortunate enough to find a suitable example of one . . .

most of the breitlings look like a magic eye to me. so, the SOH 46 would be first pick, I'd pick it over a handful of Rolex watches too based on clean looks, mesh bracelet and overall look.

Black dial Seawolf - Ti or SS, doesn't matter. IMO a candidate for the upper end of anyone's "ULTIMATE TOOL WATCH" list!

I've learned a lot from these posts. As for me, I think I'd get the SOH with the blue face and the mesh strap. However the Super avenger is still smiling at me with it's volcano black face and white subdials.

I currently own a SuperOcean Steelfish. It's a great watch, highly reccomend it. Any of the watches in the Aeromarine series are a great choice. They all have that "Breitling Look" with the Super Avenger being the flagship.

You really should ultimately choose the watch that feels "right" to you, whether it be a navitimer, superocean, or avenger... It really comes back to you and what you feel comfortable wearing... Best of Luck in your search...
