First of all may I introduce myself.

I've loved prestige watches ever since I was 14 years old. I've studied them & learnt about each manufacturers history over the years.

I've never been able to afford a prestige watch. Only dreamt I would one day.

I became a member of a large community purchasing replica watches & over the years this has provided me with some pleasure but I've always known that the watches I wore were fake. Even if they were good 'reps'

I've worn countless rolex reps but never really like Rolex's.

I started a new business 2 years ago with nothing but dreams & dedication & my perseverance paid off. I went on TV showcasing my product & brand & received large investment to help expand my company.

My business took off..

Yesterday for the first time in my whole life (now 30) I managed to buy a real high end timepiece & I am so proud of myself. It signifies dedication & drive to succeed. Never giving up.

My chosen watch: breitling superocean heritage 46 with red gold bezel.

I'm in love with this watch. It will serve me as a daily beater, be there at meetings, when I'm fishing... One day I will pass it down to my son (now 4 months old)

I didn't want to bore you all with a long story, I'm just so happy I have got this watch & had the opportunity.

It gets delivered sat morning.

Thanks for listening guys.

Ross

Welcome to the forum!

It's always pleasing to hear a good news story, and I welcome yours.

Take care of the watch, but remember, take care of your business too. It's easy to become complacent….

I look forward to the pictures, and then, as it is here, pictures of your NEXT Breitling…

Thanks for the uplifting thread.

Take care

Davey.
