You got that right. They did release this recently, but it's out of my price range for now.

I always like how imaginative and thoughtfully organised are the backgrounds of your wrist shots John! They make all the difference and with your beautiful watches the result is always intriguing. Never boring! You have spoiled us you know?

Have a wonderful Monday my friend and please teach me how to feel blue (in a good way), especially on Mondays 😉

·

No one gonna point out the diver only has 25m WR? (JK! It’s an old watch ;)

·

Always enjoy seeing the new and improved Blue Marlin 💙💙💙. Enjoy your day John👍😎

·

Awesome watch and picture John!

Cheers, Lawrence. I feel I did fall out of love with it, but happy it's back on rotation 🤓

Happy Monday John! Thanks for Blueing it up special! Very cool Timex 😎

Oh definitely. Somebody on reddit posted an old Yacht Regatta timer with 15m WR and somebody pointed it out and OP’s reply was “Tbf if you’re on a yacht race you shouldn’t be in the water, you should be on the boat!”

Bluetiful John! I love the shot, so great!

Thanks, James. Glad you like it 🤓

You nailed that blue. Great photo and it shows off that watch beautifully 🤩

So when did they reissue this? 36mm would be a dream for me 🙃

·

Now that is my kinda timey John!

Fantastic piece with a nice bit of history behind it no doubt, well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

I can see where breitling got the inspiration for the current SO from 😉

Thanks a lot, Trevor. I'm restricted by the fact, I only use my phone, so I try and capture light and colour whenever I can to compensate for depth of field, bokeh, etc.

Lawrence sent me a link to the quartz reissue a couple of weeks ago, so I'm presuming it's in the latest catalogue. There's only one version as far as I can see, but you could always go vintage 🤔 there's a number of different versions to chose from

Do you think I should ask Breitling for royalties 🤔

Cool. I’ll get exploring.

John, with an SLR I’m sure you’d do even more creative shots, it’s just in your nature.
