Hi All,

A BIG moment today. A nice Breitling Datora arrived at my place via USPS.

This was a TZ deal through a reputable trader with many legit trades under his belt.

(Nevertheless, Sharmouth, if you do spot anything I should be anxious about, please do let me know). :lol:

My first reaction was "What a bl**dy big watch"!

I adjusted the bracelet, put it on and was immediately taken with it's weight.

Half an hour later, and it is sitting very nicely, almost as if it has always been there. I sense the beginning of a long relationship. :D

By the way, the photo below was taken by the seller who did a very nice job of it.

My photography is not too good and as a result, this could be the nicest picture you will ever see of it. :lol:

Now I'm going for a long walk to calm myself down.

Regards
Stuart

Congratulations!

The Datora is a brilliant watch, and that photo (even if it isn't you who took it) is just gorgeous.

Very nice indeed. :thumbsup:
You see how easy it is to get used to large size watches. Before you know it you'll be strapping an SA on your wrist and it'll fit like a glove!

Great picture.

I love the classic lines of the Datora.

Thanks All for your comments!!!

This is a great place with great people so expect me to stick around.

I don't know about strapping on an SA anytime soon, though, but never say never!

Regards
Stuart
