I’ve fucked the Omega off

Have a gander at the Omega Speedy, ticks your Chrono box and is an understated classic, just as suitable for formal occasions or for slumming in jeans and a t-shirt.

Nice watch, i've owned one.
Just for balance though, it has poor water resistance, most are hand wind only, next to no lume, and some have the plexi crystal, which can scratch easily. Just things to be aware of for the op.
You're right of course, it's an icon.

If the Speedy is an option then also consider the Zenith El Primero, another historic chrono,,,

Ahaha. It’s a gorgeous watch mate. I just showed Mrs Back and she told me not to take the piss so I’m guessing that’s a bit more than the first three I posted!

A new (and Final) option she has just text me based on what I say I like:




It’s not new (2007 production year) but again says it comes with original box and papers. It’s not cheap by any means but it does look nice.

Any expert eyes to tell me it’s a shit knock off?

Cant see anything obvious. Looks legit to me.
Happy to be proven wrong, i'm not really a breitling expert.

She’s now just said she thinks it’s probably too bling-y for me!

Have you considered the size of the watch?

Breitling watches tend to wear big on the wrist (44mm), and don't tuck under a shirt sleeve easily.

Not a fan of Steel and Yellow Gold personally, and that dial is way too busy with its oversized gold roman numeral markers.

[For Ref: I have a 7.5 inch wrist size, and I wouldn't consider any watch over 40mm or 13mm in height]
