Greetings All,

after surfing invisible here for some 30 hours, I decided to come on surface. I wish I found this site before I purchased a vintage Breitling, which after checking also Israeli Breitling forums I am still not sure if its a good surprise or a Franken. ( ref 170 backcase 552046, bridge signed ). Anyway once it arrives I will post pic's and will ask your opinions. But meanwhile want to share the fantastic photo below.

The Breitling Aerobatic Team pilots visited the hotel I am working this summer, and me was lucky enough to greet and accompany them in Dead Sea. They had a program flying 400 meters below sea level. This photo is a present from them - flying above our hotel space - , in my office I have a signed one and framed looks great.

Dead Sea/ Jordan 2011 Breitling was here !

and there was one of the pilots who was wearing two watches,one per wrist. One was Breitling of course accompanied with all the sponsored apparel on them, jackets, t-shirts... and the other watch was .........?

Guess what?

I will post the answer later, would like to hear you guessing what a Breitling fan could wear else ( I know it is very individual,just for fun, hint:it was a pre 40 chronograph )

Great pic, thanks for sharing. Jordan and the Dead Sea was the penultimate stage of their Middle East Tour which started in Athens. Unfortunately, they met bad weather in the first two stages and weren't able to perform the full program, so they only did the low vis show.

:welcome: to BS and enjoy your time here.
