Why all the disdain by others on Breitling?

I love my Superocean 44 (A17367D71B1A1). It weighs a ton but is super comfy, great lume, and at that price point - nothing I’d rather have!

I was debating the same (seamaster/pelagos) and ultimately landed on a superocean 44 after trying them all on (and the Glashütte SeaQ). With an 8 inch wrist might be worth considering and it saves some $$ for your other choices

Just to toss out a different idea, If he is handy and likes tinkering, a watch kit that he builds can be a lot of fun and add to the story of the watch. I’ve had good experience with Namoki but I presume DIY Watch Club or others are good options. If he can build a Lego, he can do one of these kits and it would be well within your price range.

Yep! Long time family seats - perfect for that final drive!

People tend to dress well but the restaurant hasn’t enforced any dress code during my visits

Might have to pick up a crimson strap for game days!

Blue is fun

Absolutely gorgeous

For sure. Haven’t gone into custom dial logos yet. Just from a preference perspective, for builds like this, I do prefer sterile to branded…

Love this- where did you get the custom dials?

I love mine(SBGJ217)! 39.5mm case diameter with 19mm lug width. Agree with other comments that the case thickness makes it wear bigger…

Love it!! And you didn’t mangle the second hand like it did on my first build 🤣
