Thatโ€™s super cool. My father was in the aerospace industry for all of my childhood. He was also the person to get me into watches in the first place! He often talked about the idea of getting a Breitling.

I can still hear him say โ€œif Iโ€™m going to throw thousands of dollars down on a watch, itโ€™s going to be a Breitlingโ€

He sadly passed a couple years ago, and as I start my 30s, I often think about picking up a Breitling Aerospace, or even a Colt soon. I think these are also just plain cool. Iโ€™m also a huge fan of quartz movements ๐Ÿป

I have a WK2116-1 and a WN1150. One is a 2000 Classic from 2004, and one is a 1999 Exclusive. One is an auto and the other is a quartz. I paid less than $600 a piece, and less than $400 for the Exclusiveโ€ฆ and it has a solid 18k gold bezelโ€ฆ these are really slept on.

Hereโ€™s a really great read on the history and model references by one of my friends over on the TH forums. http://tagheuerenthusiast.blogspot.com/2022/01/history-heuertag-heuer-2000-series-1982.html?m=1

Honestly if I were you, I would look at older 2000 series watches. Well under $1000 and 37.5mm!

Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s going to be close to the original size. But Iโ€™m sure it will be $1200+. I guess Breitling gets away with it with their Endurance Pro lol

If this is FR then Iโ€™m going to be eating the words I said earlier this year. โ€œTAG is trying to go upmarket, they will never reissue the plastic F1 series, and if they do, it will be over $1000 and wonโ€™t sellโ€ ๐Ÿ˜–

It was big for brands to do this in the 80s and nobody cared then either lol.

commented on What is your favorite watch type? ยท

60 minute count up timers are extremely useful day to day. I also find divers to be the most durable of watches. Iโ€™ve been fascinated with divers ever since I discovered the Rolex sub and Ulysse Nardin magazine advertisements as a kid.
