How do you like your Crosswind?

: Hi,

: I also have the same watch and its the rotor of the automatic
: movement that's making the noise. The rotor is the part of
: the automatic that rotates and winds the watch. Its flat
: and covers the back portion of automatics and rotates via
: wrist/arm movement. Any type of vigorious movement will
: cause the rotor to make a lot of noise and make the watch
: move. Even my Breitling Crosswind chrono does the same
: thing. I think the only noise less automatic are Rolex's.

: Hope this helps!!!

Hi Steve,

I've always wanted a Breitling Crosswind. Now that there's the Crosswind Special, it makes me want it even more. I saw one close up at KENJO in NYC and it's a beauty. How much of a discount (if any) did you get and where'd you get yours? In your experience with the Crosswind, what are your likes and dislikes? It'll be a while til I get one since I'm still paying for my SM Pro Chrono and Submariner. I know this message should be on the Breitling forum but that forum, from what I can see, is not as often visited as compared to this one.
