I have owned my Rolex Datejust for 10+ years and wanted to start a small watch collection. I wanted something a little older this time around. I came across this VERY VERY good condition Breitling Sprint 2016. I want to Thanks Roffensian for educating me on the style. I think this NOS has a unique history. Here are some photos of my Xmas gift to myself...LOL

LOL, funny you say that. This is cheap compared to my other habit (heavily modding 2 cars). One of the reasons I started it.... :mrgreen:

Very interesting strap. Never seen that one before with that buckle. I wonder if it's an original Sprint strap?

I heard the strap was made by Roy. I can not confirm or deny.
