For the last several years I have been a bit of a gear head with camera equipment. Film-digital, Hasselblad, Canon, Leica, I have bot sold and bot again many bodies and lenses. I have recently liquidated all but one body and lenses (kept my Canon stuff) and have quickly taken a shine to watches, Breitlings especially. Looking at and trying other brands, I just feel the wrist presence with the Breiltlings is really spectacular. So far I have a Colt II Quartz, Navitimer World, Super Avenger and a Bentley 6.75 on the way (bot from a forum member here). Am I over extended, hell yea but this is a fully colateralized hobby (well almost) so can liquidate at at any time or until the wife catches me. This seems like a great board and I love the video reviews performed by its owner? I look forward to learning even more about these fine watches through of all the info posted here. |

Yea a little over the top lol. I did build up quite a collection of camera gear over the years so had some funds built up. I also rely on parking some purchases in a line of credit account till I sell something. I look at the interest as a rental fee until which time I sell. |

Nice going! That's one way to get into watches!  Most of us seem to start very gradually and build up over the years, but you've jumped straight in! Nice work! Oh and welcome aboard.
