Breitling Top Time Disappointment!
I have a Sugess Top Time Homage and wanted to try on the real thing.
The crystals were far superior and the weight was far heavier, but I just found them a bit Meh for 7k! Quite small at 40mm. The Chronomat 40mm GMT wore a lot bigger in feel.
The light blue one had a lower grade mechanism in it and no display cashback and was cheaper, but even so at 5k was still massively underwhelming!
Would be good to hear an owners perspective to see if I am off the mark.

Been on a short journey so far, but have enjoyed collecting watches. I have a fantastic connection and I am hooked! Always room for one more watch!

I am a huge fan of the Breitling Top Time watches.
Definitely different experience from my perspective.
Here are the ones that I have in the collection...
I also have a vintage Chronomatic...

The dark blue one was lovely colour wise, as wast he monochrome one. Just wasn't my bag! Wanted to love them! 😂 Nice collection!!
I'd be tempted by one if they didn't have "Top Time" written on the dial. Can you imagine having a Maserati with "Fast Car" written in the bonnet paintwork?

Love that sky blue Deus one 😍
Never liked these subdials.

At least the meaning is clear. I amused by Oyster written on a dial. 🤪
Not an owner so can't really provide an informed opinion, but love the top time look! Honestly comparing homage to OG is tough as with the higher end Suggess and San Martin you really need to open them up!
Not going into the original Vs homage debate as it is a bit senseless but (Breitling fan here) if Suggess really ticks your boxes better, why spend the extra Ks?

Not really about the comparison to the Sugess, it was just that I was really disappointed with the Breitling.
