We took delivery of this model last week and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and share. I know if may not be for everyone, but I thought it was very well done. I usually have a difficult time with subdials that cut into the hour markers, but was able to look right past it on this model. A bit large for my 6.75" wrist, but someone is going to own one heck of a watch.

Absolutely STUNNING, Brad! She's a big one, but having the Emergency 2 in my regular rotation, it's more manageable to me.

Thanks again for the great video review.

Thanks Brad for the quick review of the 18K Datora. It is truly a stunning timepiece.

Nice review of a beautiful watch.

Never seen one before until now, and I left your video very impressed.

I was in London a few months ago and visited the Breitling store on Bond Street to shelter from a rain shower - it was too early to visit to The Guinea Grill!!
They had the gold and steel versions in stock, I didn't try on the gold one but I had a try of the steel one and wow!

It's a fantastic watch and dress/non-sports watches don't really interest me, however, I really liked it.
Any photo or rendering that I've seen hasn't done it justice, particularly the dial colour - the images have the dial as either brown or prosthetic-foot-pink.

If I'm ever in the market for a dress watch, I'd be very tempted...

I bought this about 5 years ago, saved hard to pay this off.
It was at my local dealers shop and I thought that I will never see one again if I didn’t buy it.

Well done, mate!

I hope some day the new Datora will also have the same outlay, with date from the center and 12 H counter. And hope that this movement will find its way into some kind of Chronomat (40-41 mm).
Beautiful V72C there! Enjoy!

I had owned this lovely watch for a little over a month .(yeah I know - a big watch for a ladies wrist lol) .
I loved it - the case finish was amazing , the dial and moon phase held my interest ,,,
But , sadly the chronograph started acting up - three times during the month I wore it, the seconds hand would stop working when I started the chronograph . Of course this was a random issue , and did not happen for the AD when I brought it in . I was so disappointed but kudos to my wonderful AD! He believed me and wanted to ensure my happiness , so even though it was past 30 days, he worked on getting me a full store credit .
Being somewhat disillusioned with complications, I chose the Super Ocean Heritage in rose gold , ( yeah I know - a big watch for a ladies wrist ), but I love it !
And more importantly I trust it to keep working properly .
