NOT incoming (sadly) vintage Breitling beauty... 1970's Transocean

[BramleyGreg]

Picked this up on a forum over here in the UK, due in tomorrow... I am so looking forward to this landing...







Pics are sellers own.

The excitement is real.

Love it

Sweet! I hope it serves you well and that it functions as well as it presents. Com-a-common Wednesday!

[Wario406]

Very cool. Congrats. I dig the tv screen sub dials.

Nice one Greg, you are definitely on a roll lately

[BramleyGreg]

Have had to pass this up once actually in my hands too.

The seller unfortunately gave the wrong bracelet measurement on this, so I had to return it. A simple accident.. cannot be helped. They are as rare as hen's teeth to source and a strap just wouldn't have cut it really.

I had to cheer myself up with more retail watch therapy... and took the plunge with this:



Happiness / parity is now resumed. This should be with me in 5-7 working days.. but hopefully they say that and it comes quicker.

Excited to get this big beast.

That is really cool. Wear it in good health.

Bummer, but congrats on the substitute.

Way to land on your feet.

I like the new one better. Congrats.

Congratulations, BramleyGreg!

Your vintage Breitling Transocean looks absolutely stunning! The anticipation of its arrival must be exhilarating. It's always a special feeling when you're eagerly awaiting the delivery of a new timepiece, especially one with such a rich history and timeless design.

The photos you've shared give a fantastic glimpse of the watch's character and craftsmanship. I can only imagine the excitement you must be feeling as you await its arrival. Wishing you many enjoyable moments with your new addition to your collection!

Is Scorpio Atomic Tom’s kin?

The old one was pretty cool. Sorry it didn't work out.

The new one looks great, but I just don't have the wrist size to wear 46mm watches. I'll be one of those "waaaa, I want it in 42mm" people.

So sorry that it didn’t work out Greg.

It looks like you will be replacing one epic Breitling with another
though. And I just love the way you rebounded from the
disappointment with the vintage. Looking forward to seeing
this one land. ..Sending a BIG Breitling congrats to you ahead of
time there !!!

I like the consolation watch.
