OK guys here we are.... my new addition to "the family", and let me tell you I am very VERY pleased with him!
The limited edition Bentley Le Mans! Polished SS case and Speed bracelet, engined turned bezel, blue dial, and 24hour movement.
Only two pictures at the moment as I've literally only just got him today, but to say I am chuffed is an understatement of huge proportions! I really wanted the blue dial model and it's taken me a long time to find one in as good condition as this.
The only downside (and to be honest it's a very small downside IMO!) is that it cost me my Blue Navi World in part-exchange as I couldn't really justify yet another Breitling this year without sacrificing something.
The good news is that while he is just over 4 years old, he appears to have been owned by someone who looks after his watches as much as I do, as he seems to be MINT. It came with absolutely everything paperwork-wise and as the box was the old style version (and the outer cardboard was a little battered) the guy also threw in a brand new walnut Breitling for Bentley box that's usually reserved for the solid gold models!
I think I will send it off to Breitling for a full service pretty soon as according to the warranty booklet it's not been in for one yet and as it is just over 4 years old, I guess he will probably benefit from it.
I'm really loving the fact that while they were limited to only 1000 in total, there are actually only 250 in each of 4 dial colour variants.... which means that if the world's population is approx 6.6bn, there is only one of these blue dial models per every 26.4 million people! (You can probably tell I'm really pleased, so forgive me if I really go off on one about this watch!
)
Anyway, once again I apologise for the rubbish photos, but I'm hoping to get a decent camera soon!
I bet the new site is keeping you on your toes).
