Been looking for a chrono with GMT. Came across the Breitling Transocean GMT. It's been discontinued for a few years but I've found some nice pre-owns on the market. Not too familiar with this model as I just stumbled on it. Thoughts? I feel that for about $5k it may be an OK pickup.

16mm thick and 43mm in diameter makes it pretty large on most people. It looks good I just wish it were smaller. If you can pull it off then it’s not a bad choice.

Oof, that’s a big boy, and full polish to boot.

This watch harkens back to the era of “big and flashy”. I’d keep searching for something with a more timeless appeal.

And you NEVER want to get into the mindset of dropping $5k because something “isn’t a bad deal”. Always better to save and buy what you reeeeaalllly want. And sometimes (most times) we don’t even need to buy at all. Tis better to fall back in love with a piece already in the collection.

Breitlings are awesome....but they are just too thick most of the time

Those were some of my concerns. However I've not been able to find anything that offers chrono and GMT that wasn't too sporty or too busy. Any alternative recommendations would be welcome.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.
