| Post subject: | Nice start for 2008 |
I'm sitting and waiting for a Breitling for Bentley 6.75, white dial to arrive. And as if that wasn't enough, I just placed an order at my AD for a Navitimer Montbrillant Legende (SS), also with a white dial. Unfortunately the delivery can't come until late February and I'm an impatient guy... |

Nice going Aleister! Great choices. 
I'm actually just contemplating ordering one of my two "watches to get this year" - either a Chronomat (steel with rose gold bezel and roman numerals, black dial, on black croco) or a Bentley Motors (black dial on Speed bracelet). Just not sure if it's too early in the year! |

It is never too early for a Breitling.

Nice picks! A couple more full lings for the collection never hurts. Really will love to see pics of that Mont with the white dial! |

aleister, Good move on those. But there is nothing worse than waiting for Lings. It seems that every time I decide to pull the trigger on a particular Ling, I head out that day to get one and by the time I do it they are sold out of what I want. Any more than a few days wait time is torture but you will have the Bentley to hold you over. |

aleister those are some great watches to fill out your already massive collection. i'm freaking green with envy. haha. my bonus for last year just came in today, and i am so so so tempted to just take it to the watch store instead of the wife, but if i do so i will be one watch richer but one wife, house, car, etc poorer . . . not sure if the trade off is worth it, but i am sorely, sorely tempted. |

You should be like.. "Honey, what christmas bonus? I don't know what you're talking about.  :"
Then.. "Oh, this Old watch? I got this Mulliner Tourbillon AGES ago.."

actually, i think the best plan would be give myself a black eye, tell her i got mugged and the mulliner on my wrist was a fake i got to cheer myself up haha oh yeah the guy selling it on the street also had a box and papers, so i couldnt pass it up since it seemed so authentic haha |

Hah! Someone else uses my approach... 
By the way, Aleister, I think you've made an excellent choice

So do I, Sportback. 
One of these days I really have to take some new/better pictures to put in the collection library. Hmm, looks like Sunday is free... rhequest: You don't have to tell everything... I really like the arrangement between myself and my "girlfriend" (seems strange to find the proper word, "common-law spouse" feels a bit artificial). After any common expenses, I do whatever I like with my money and so does she. She won't mind my watches and whisky and I won't mind her shoes and purses...
