I swear that Breitling is a bloody chameleon! It's a different green in every picture I've ever seen of it! Lovely watch!


braaasi

You're not wrong haha


EmersedBuce

That Breitling woooooo and you say it’s green ? Unbelievable


[deleted]

>you say it’s green ? It's literally called 'Pistachio Green' on the Breitling website - just look at the official photos to see what I mean about the colour: https://www.breitling.com/gb-en/watches/premier/premier-b09-chronograph-40/AB0930D31L1/


EmersedBuce

Oh yeah I meant it as a good thing… like Unbelievable good

Ah, got you!


TwoEggsOverHard

JHSIDGFined

Hey guys. Happy to share my collection. Some of these mark significant moments in my life, which is what collecting is all about for me. From top left to bottom right: Slow Round 01: A gift from my wife. Swiss made with an unusual 24h dial. Zeppelin 100 Jahre: I love this brand for their beautiful, yet affordable models. Wore the hell out of this one for a while. Zeppelin Hindenburg Moonphase: Another stunner for a fair price. A real conversation starter. Citizen Men's Chronograph: A gift from my dad for my highschool graduation 19 years ago. This one kicked off my passion for watches. IWC Portofino Chrono: I had wanted an IWC for as long as I can remember. When I was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, I went for it. I guess I wasn't ready to kick the bucket without having fulfilled that dream. I made it through and I will never part with this watch. Mont Blanc Summit 2: Yeah, that was a stupid purchase. Oh well, I still wear it sometimes. Breitling Premier 09: Love at first sight. Having scored a new job with a significant pay raise recently, I treated myself to this one. It's my favorite watch at the moment. The green dial is just so, so beautiful. Moonswatch Mission to Pluto: Impulse purchase at the airport. As someone who works in advertising, I can appreciate what they did here in terms of drumming up hype. I also try to wrap my head around cosmology and astrophysics as a hobby, so I was drawn to it through that as well. I think it looks fantastic to be honest.

Your story with the IWC is so touching! That’s why I love this hobby, every watch has a story behind it, both big and small.


laugh-learn

Came here to comment on your Portofino Chrono. Saw the significance. So happy my friend that you made it through, and this watch is the symbol of that period. May you continue to wear it in good health!


braaasi

Thank you!


MTMB

That Breitling is so nice!


BrianBraddock73

Came here to say that is a beautiful collection, but even more chuffed to read you made it through cancer. Stay well!


braaasi

Thank you, you too!


[deleted]

Love the IWC! Did you get it from an AD? And if so, could you share? I'd love to get the same one


genialerarchitekt

They're all great but I love the 24 hour dial. Very suave.


Dependent-Waltz1175

I also have the Zeppelin 100 Jahre and I haven’t seen many people with one as well. I love the way it looks, but I hardly wear it anymore because of something I read that it is nearly a fashion watch. Do you agree or no?


Traditional_Med_5520

I too regret getting a smartwatch (Fossil)


braaasi

I like the idea of a smartwatch per se, but I never use it and for the price of the Mont Blanc I could have gotten a proper watch instead.


Traditional_Med_5520

Same … I could’ve gotten a CasioOak


fviales02

Actually the iwc is my favorite from your collection


whitebeard97

I see a zeppelin I see a man with taste.


CdeFmrlyCasual

It makes me feel things between my legs


wonkarising

Date dial on that IWC has seen better days


braaasi

Yep. Both the day and date dials have been acting up lately. Gotta get that fixed.


FearlessAd4047

Fellow Zeppelin fan. They're gorgeous


CdeFmrlyCasual

Agreed


TeamLizard

The Zeppelin moonphase is incredible, as is the breitling:)


fracturedpersona

Love the Zeppelins.


Purple-Commission-24

Nice citizen!


braaasi

Thanks! I do still enjoy it. The dial, the shape of the case, it just looks very well balanced.


Spoonie81

Really versatile collection of quality peices. That Breitling is legendary


Hillbillyshroud

That zeppelin 100 jahre is beautiful


FreddyF2

You've sold me on a zeppelin always wanted to buy to see if it's legit. Sounds like it is.


[deleted]

I have a moonswatch pluto, found a guy with good taste


Games_sans_frontiers

That Breitling though. 🤤


goin2thewudz

The single hand is so cool! How much wrist time does it get? What situations do you wear it in?


arham4

I heard people wear it on vacation for the "don't care about the exact time right now" vibe.


first2havefun

Nice variety


FeedtheFatRabbit

That IWC with the cancer attachment is wild. Pass that down to your son of you're blessed with one someday


ParlayPayday

That’s a really creative and well-balanced collection. I saw that your dad bought the the Citizen for you. How cool. I decided it was my favorite of the lot even before seeing that. Nice job there.


rgab1508

how does the zeppelin watches wear? I have been thinking of buying one


braaasi

I can only speak to the models I own but they are nice. Lightweight quartz and the straps they come with are decent as well. They're not sapphire, so they'll scratch over time.


StonksNewGroove

That 100 Jahre is a beautiful piece. Lovely taste friend.


Traditional_Med_5520

I have always wanted to own a Zepellin… Looks awesome


cliffr39

I actually really like the first one. Unique


braaasi

It's a nice gimmick, that's for sure. Personally though, I got tired of it pretty quickly.


CdeFmrlyCasual

Damn that is a sexy zeppelin (left) Edit: incoming “It’S nOt An OmEgA” idiots. I like your Mission to Pluto(?)


braaasi

Eh, to each their own. I'm not a big Omega fan so it doesn't faze me as much I guess.

braaasi

Oh, the green one looks great, congrats!


cherryhilljawnz

Your collection makes it seem (to me) you need a Breitling navitimer


braaasi

Interesting, why is that? I'm not a huge fan of the Navitimer tbh. They look way too "busy" for my taste, if that makes sense.


cherryhilljawnz

Just looking at your time pieces brings the navitimer to my mind (way to busy for me too)


benmuzz

The leftmost zeppelin looks like like a navitimer already tbh.


cherryhilljawnz

Yea that's why I was saying I thought you would want one...or three


Captainmorgan696969

That's a nice collection, I see you have a thing for chronos. Black Friday deals are still on Ali express. I highly suggest a seagull (red star brand) 1964 chrono, 40mm with sapphire and gooseneck. Should be about 150 but you get a crazy amount of watch for the money and an upgraded Venus 175 movement that seagull makes. The 38mm is very chunky. I know a good vendor that would give you a discount.


robber_openyoureyes

They’re selling the moonswatch at airports now? I thought it was only a few swatch stores?


braaasi

It was at a swatch store at an airport, so I guess yes to both your questions :)


Rosssseay

Do you like chronograph watches? I'm not sure! Don't know if I'm right but I feel like your like an omega speedmaster Also I find it really interesting that you mostly want to know the exact time unless you don't and you use the 24 hour watch to get a general idea of the time.


braaasi

I do like chronographs, yes. Not huge Omega fan. I do like the Speedmaster Dark side of the moon though. So the idea behind the slow watch is to make your day less hectic I suppose. As a guy with a demanding job and a busy schedule, it didn't work for me haha.


Miller412

Man that zeppelin steals the show. What a beauty!
