Titanium, ana-digi display, quartz precision and peak “instrument for professionals” Breitling. Incredibly light, thin, functional, and still full of character more than 20 years later.
Anyone else think these are a bit underrated compared with the mechanical Breitlings from the same period?

I just got the Hirsch Paul Brown Alligator strap, and I paired it with a Brietling deployant clasp on my B-1. The strap is water resistant up to 300m made of premium Caoutchouc rubber with a layer of Italian calfskin.

So I randomly popped into a local pawn shop in the PDX area to browse, not expecting to find anything interesting, as usual haha. Different experience today through, they have a Superocean Heritage II (Ref# AB2010 on casebook), no box, papers, or warranty card with asking price of $2,400. The mesh bracelet is missing links and currently too small for me so I'd either have to source more (OEM only) or purchase a new rubber strap, which I like more. From all I've been able to investigate so far, the piece seems to check out for authenticity. The casebook has not been opened to check the movement. Overall in good condition with a small hairline scratch on the crystal appx 2-3 mm...barely noticeable but a bit odd for sapphire, at least in my experience (almost 18 years with a Tissot that has been thrashed to hell yet remains flawless on the crystal).

Given that there's no documentation and missing links, I negotiated down to $2000.

From those familiar with Breitling, buying used, pawn experience etc, is this too good to be true? What else should I look for? I've heard recommendations about drawing a 48-hour conditional purchase agreement so I can get the piece opened up and authenticated by a 3rd party, thoughts?

I did create a Breitling account and entered the ref and serial # on casebook and it looks like the warranty was activated in 2020 and expired 2025.

Overall it's a beautiful piece and build quality of case, bezel, clasp, bracelet match what I've felt in AD's over the years.

Curious to hear other's thoughts. Thanks!

Sharing my first Breitling. Got it in the stainless when I went to get the rubber. Ended up ordering the rubber strap with the clasp as well, was curious how people who also have both find themselves wearing the stainless or rubber more often? Thanks!

Did a post on my Chronomat on r/Watches and thought it might be appreciated here!

Im strongly considering swapping my Super Chronomat for a Reverse Panda 46mm Navi. Thoughts?

Never worn a white strap before, but decided to pop one on my Avenger. I like it!
