New baby in the collection

Trace one of my Speedmaster for this nice 7806 Breitling. Did not really wear the 35th Apollo XI anniversary Speedy and found this Navitimer so attractive

Under "Rolex General Discussion"?

By the way, I've never seen a Breitling that I found attractive. They're just not my cup of tea.

I wonder is it useful those inscribed scaling on average daily life..

Not a fan of a busy dial here.

Sorry for the wrong section. Just wanted to share my happy day with you but seems some people just consider this as a fault.
I'm'a big Rolex fan and own some of very nice pieces, however Omega, Breitling, Patek Philippe and many other brands are also nice and makes very beautiful watches, just be open guys

Congrats! Quick Breitling story ... in the early '90s I bought a Chronomat. I really didn't take to the watch as it was too big for my liking; I may have worn it three times at most. So, I gave the watch to my Dad, who absolutely loved it, and would go around proudly showing it off to people saying "look what my son gave me." He smiled every time he looked at that watch. He wore it until the day he passed away, and I had the unenviable task of removing it from his wrist for the last time. So, while Breitling isn't my cup of tea, I have a big 'ole soft spot for the brand since it made my Dad so happy.

Wow. Sentimental value over everything!

Manners maketh the man. A simple mistake whilst sharing a mutual passion and interest.

As my mother used to say if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.

OP nice watch!
