Thanks, Mr Wilks. A bit of a love/hate relationship with the Night Mission. Well, with Breitling actually. I had to have the LCD module replaced on it after only two and a half years, and Breitling were having none of my requests for a goodwill gesture and charged me £493 for the pleasure.

I do love the watch though and (as with most of my watches) swap out the straps often.
The quoted photo is on an OEM Pro 3 rubber with an optional OEM blackened tang clasp.

The below is is on the OEM black canvas and tang (which the watch originated on)

And this is on the OEM mustard canvas with deployant. This is what the Night Mission Evo Cobra LE (this watch) was originally sold on, but Breitling apparently ran out of them anf the remaining pieces (of the 300 released) were put on the black canvas.

Bad luck with the module :cry: i bought a similar aerospace new 11 years ago , its just had its second battery & gasket service in that time otherwise no other issues

It's the 2016 re-issue of the MK2
I sat on the fence about buying a a Tudor Heritage Chrono exactly the same as your pictured one - they look fantastic and my local AD had one sitting on sale for a while. In the end I used the money towards a TinTin speedy but still love that Tudor, so maybe one day.... 8) .
Great collection BTW, there are some excellent watches in that lineup :thumbsup:

I think cars and watches go hand in hand.

I've been into watches and horology for about 20 odd years.

Here's a few of mine. There's a few more that I haven't taken pictures of -

They're a great watch for a collection, but I wouldn't have one as a single watch as they are a bit side slabby. It was between this and the blue Pelagos... It's noe time to try it

Thank you. There's a few more somewhere.

Unfortunately my wrist can't pull off a PP, otherwise I'd have one.

The Arnie was re-released in August. I saw one for sale for £400 the other week, and another for £380

I tried a ploprof on a couple months ago, I use to think they were ugly but it was nice on especially with that shark mesh bracelet

Loving that collection and taste, my Omega's Below

The 1969 Panda dial is the same Speedmaster which I did a dial swop on, loved the look but difficult to read with the hands being a light colour so swapped it back again

To be fully appreciated, watches shown on this thread should be displayed on white skinny wrists, not the suntanned, thick, hairy wrists like the attached. Shouldn't they? :(
 
2 of mine, I wanted a smart watch but didn't like any of the usual ones available so purchased the Frederique Constant horological.

The Oris Artelier Complication I've had for 11 years, it's the daily wearer.

I'd be interested to know Forum members' opinion of moon phase watches.
Good idea or bad idea ? Will CWL ever produce one ?
A quick scout around the internet has thrown up one or two -
I really like the look of Breguet but not the look of the $30,340 price ticket.
Any suggestions, please, for more reasonably priced moon phases ?
