Yeah, mean to add that, case back is a real shame.

Yikes...didn't see that caseback. That's Cringe Level 10.
I picked up a super ocean heritage Chronograph last year and dont normally like big watches but they wear well on the wrist. I like the fact it goes with rubber straps for every day use (really comfortable) or the mesh strap for more dressed up use.Not usually a fan of Brietling due to there often large sizing, but these look nice

Introducing: Breitling Launches Erling Haaland Signature Chronomat Collection
The Norwegian football (soccer) sensation has joined forces with Breitling to create something truly unique.www.hodinkee.com
For me, it was a tough call between the SOH and a Daytona Rolex. The £10k price difference and 1-3 year wait for one made the swing to Breitling. I'm pretty happy with it.
Was it the 44mm or the 42mm?
Just had a blimp online and they look really nice and quite understated.
Think it’s these types I’ve never been a fan of and for some reason it’s this sort of watch I seem to picture when I think of Breitling
Also the Navtimers, although just looking on line I think their dials make them look bigger as there not much bezel, they all seem to be 40-42mm which ain’t that big tbh.
I got the 44mm, it doesnt feel too big. The chromo ones do have busy faces with the chromo dials but the non chronos have a clearer face and look lovely. I did consider getting one of the ones you pictured as a daily wearer or if have to work in London beti've gone off the idea.
Mate at work has a Navitimer and it suits him but he has much bigger wrists than me, he's a bit of a unit.
I understand the new versions of mine arent quite as deep bodied so may go and have a look at one
I see Christopher Ward are all over the US tour vids atm, including handing out their C12 Loco’s in this vid.
They opened a distributor and showroom stateside recently, so this tour is perfect for them to get involved with.I see Christopher Ward are all over the US tour vids atm, including handing out their C12 Loco’s in this vid.

Bramley Hill Moore Dickinson Stadium is supposed to have a very exclusive showroom for Christopher Ward.
I wonder what that will look like?

A watch that takes AA batteries; eff me...must sell Breitling.
Alright watch experts, it’s my 50th birthday next month and I’ve decided I’m going to treat myself to a nice watch to mark the occasion…. Trouble is I am clueless about watches. I’ve been doing a bit of searching for different styles etc and have decided I’d like a nice, eye catching dressy watch…. I have however decided I’m not really a fan of Breitling, undoubtedly they are a very good watch but, and this is just personal preference, they all seem to a little bit too busy on the face. Any suggestions or pointers I should be looking out for ? I don’t want to be spending thousands of pounds but I don’t mind a decent outlay for something special.
Look at something from the Seiko Presage line...these are stunners IMO and not 5-star $; great value as far as watches are concerned:
Presage - Urushi Laquer dial
Presage - Arita Porcelain dial
Seiko Presage Arita Porcelain Dial
Presage salutes Japanese craftsmanship in porcelain from Arita.

If you like simple dials you might like a flieger/aviator/pilot dial from Laco or Stowa

All depends on you, there are a zillion watches out there but those are a few suggestions that are typically under 2k, which is the sweet spot for watch newbs.
NOMOS make some simple dials but they have prices that run the gamut. A NOMOS will get you a knowing nod from watch geek, moreso than a Seiko but the Seiko's I listed are pure bang for buck and will get compliments from all sorts.

Don't order online.
You need to see and feel it on your wrist. so go to a reputable and informed dealer.
If I was going for a nice watch at the minute, the Seiko Presage range is good value at around £350- £400.
