Let me say that I have the best wife ever, but as we all know, some days are better than others! Late last night FedEx delivered a package, one that had an all too familiar look.

Image

Unfortunately, we were late for dinner reservations so opening it would have to wait. Fast forward to this morning when my wife was checking out Breitling on Facebook and saw this posted, https://www.facebook.com/Breitling/. Posted on their page was the watch whose release had been captured by WatchFred here, viewtopic.php?f=1&t=59201. Although I had checked frequently, the watch was never posted on their website. My wife's enthusiastic comments led me to unwrap the above package and show her this!

Image

Needless to say she was thrilled and quickly tried it on for size!

Image

Looks like the first order of business will be to order a shorter strap so that we can "share".

A special thanks to Justin for hooking me up with George at Govberg. George was great, I traded my Honor Flight towards this and could not be happier! Thanks again to both!

Isn't George the best to deal with?

The stove, and the kitchen that goes along with it goes a long way when "those" packages arrive!

congrats!!! I wouldn't know what I would have ended up with if this had appeared side by side with the 46mm back then.

This is one of the nicest looking Navi's I've seen released from Breitling. Really like it.

Thanks Fred, I appreciate it! Do you know how many times the first thing I here in the morning is "Have you seen the watch that "WatchFred" posted today"
