Hi all, I've been viewing the forum for some time now.
Bit of a long story but had to share.
Last christmas my wife bought me a new SOH46 on the mesh strap. I've worn it as often as I can with an old Omega seamaster quartz for every day. The breitling feels soo good to wear that as we have a weeding anniversary coming up next week I thought the time was right for 'her' to buy me something new to wear every day.
I searched the net for ideas but kept coming back to the Aerospace, next step look for a good deal.
Found a new old model at a great discount so set off to see it. At the dealer who seemed to stock the full range of Breitng I compared it with the new evo model and prefered the newer model, then compared it against various other watches, Breitling, Omega and Tag. I was shown an Avenger 2 GMTa d fell for it, but it is so shiny and blingey it would not do for every day.
Having a major dilema I set off for a walk and a think. Upon returning to the dealer I could not decide between the two. As an off hand remark I asked if there might be a deal for both, I was offered a discount and also zero% finance.
Had a think and did some man maths, it seemed to make sense. Now own three Breitlings!

Your'e on your way. To put it right it starts out an addiction and ends up an affliction! So be prepared!!!

Congatulation on you new anniversary watches and welcome to BS. By the way are you going to get your bride a Breitling for the anniversary? You might have gotten even a better deal on 3.

my 3rd should arrive ups today- and its a good thing i'm not the only weirdo that can tell when a complete stranger is wearing a B in any bar/restaurant or even on TV- we should start a new thread on what celebrities get spotted on TV wearing one.

Hay, thanks for all the nice words.
My lovely wife doesn't really get the whole watch collecting thing so bought her some gold jewellery so as she isn't left out of having something nice to show off.
