Some of you will no doubt remember the sage of my stolen collection from early September. Eight watches stolen (six Breitlings). Well, one of the watches has come home! A week or so ago i saw my Cadette for sale on the interwebs and passed the info along to the police. After a search warrant and visit, the little fella is now again in my possession. Great news!

I could be churlish and dwell on the fact that it was the least valuable of my watches by a factor of 10! I could also be annoyed that the person replaced the crown with a monstrosity. But i could also be thankful that i have at least got one back. The police have leads on the others but it might be a longer haul.

But in the meantime, share my joy!

I know! It's like a little nipple of hideousness, isn't it!

Fantastic news, and while it may be worth the least, it'd probably be the hardest to actually replace. Plus hopefully it'll lead to some arrests as well! :thumbsup:

Looks like someone wanted to make the crown look like a cartier ballon bleu . xD
