You guys have followed the soap opera that was my lost collection over the past few weeks. This week was a much better week! I picked up two watches at very good prices. Firstly i came across a 2010 Airwolf with B and P at a price i couldn't resist. I'm not usually a quartz kind of guy but i really like the Airwolf. Also i like having a watch you can just pick up and go with rather than having to wind.

But today i also managed to convince a friend to sell me his Blackbird (also with Boxes and Papers). I hadn't thought i wanted the Blue face. I always loved Frank's but somehow i seemed more drawn to the classic BB. But as i thought about it, i have a black face SOSF, then a Black face Airwolf (I'd love to trade for a white!) so a blue dial seemed right. That's not to say i don't miss the old watches, but these two are pretty worthy replacements. Next up I'm hoping to nab a Navi/ Cossie.

Not a bad week, eh?

That's really good news. :lingsrock: Enjoy the new pieces.

Now, how about an alarm? It might turn up a useful accessory. :wink:

Well... We now have alarms on both external doors and every window. There are banks with less security than us!

I can promise you you won't regret it.

Take this from a fellow victim (5 times in the last 11 years and counting). Who said that Switzerland was safe again?

That's great news Nov, at least it's going to be fun building the collection again. Great start!

That's good news! That Blackbird is gorgeous, I wouldn't second guess it a bit!

Looking good! Glad things are improving on the watch front. There are still more Breitling dial colors to be had :) . Good luck with the next acquisition(s).
