Hey now! Thanks for allowing me to become a member of a site, with so many educated and well informed Breitling Owners! I'm a newly married, thirty year old soon to be college graduate, with a wealth of real world experience under my belt. I became a Breitling fan back around 2000, when I was initially supposed to graduate college, but as beer and good times would have it, here we are 2008, with a graduation date of December 12th, in the books.
I've had the opportunity to ask a couple of questions in the most recent days, and have been educated on everything I've asked about. For this I am forever grateful to everyone that weighed in on a couple of very tough situations! Thank You!
Tomorrow, my Super Avenger (White Dial/subs, on Stainless) will arrive in this sleepy little town, and I'm convinced that this place will never be the same. As some of you may already know, this is a graduation gift from my parents. It's really more special given the fact that my mother is buying the timepiece on behalf of herself and my father, who recently passed away from a heart attack. I wear his wedding band everyday in his honor, and once I get my "Ling" I'll feel even more inclined to do right by him!
It is a great honor to join a group of very warm, and very successful individuals. I look forward to sharing stories and photos with all of you, in hopes of building some great friendships, for the duration! Thank you all!

Post Script: If I knew how to post a picture of this gem, I would...but I don't, so I won't!

Welcome aboard indeed.

Great intro by the way - I've a feeling you're going to be an asset to the group.

Hope the SA lives up to your expectations. As an owner of an SA myself, I'm sure it will! :thumbsup:

Welcome aboard.

Sounds like a lot of life experiences already, sadly not all good, but congrats on the wedding, the upcoming graduation and the acquisition.

Looks sharp, but if you don't align that bezel right away, strange things can happen. :lol:
