Breitling to add a third watch brand?

I'm super excited about this!

To be positioned below Breitling, which I don't agree with, but I'm excited to see what they do with the brand.

I wonder how Blacpain is going to take this now that they can no longer claim to be the oldest watchmaker?

Gallet is has been in continuous operation since they withdrew from the watch market, they make measurement instruments...

GALLET 1466 to be relaunched next month by Breitling!

I've been eyeballing the Premier B09 for a couple of months now since I wanted to get a no date manual wind watch with applied markers/numerals in the 3k-10k range. The only watches I could find from a non microbrand was either the Premier B09, Omega Speedy, or Omega Deville.

Then the choice came down to dial color, between the silver or champagne. I was town between the 2, but the price was much better on Joma for the silver dial, so problem solved!

I've had the watch for about a week...

UPDATE: Went with the silver dial because the price difference on Joma was $500. Crazy!

****
Champagne or silver (looks white in the photo)?

I wear jeans and button down shirt most times with dressy brown shoes.

I think both work with with my skin tone.

I like the champagne color a little bit more, but I'm afraid that once I get it, I'll like it for a month and never wear it again.

I plan to put it on a navy blue or olive green sailcloth strap by North Star...
