Just a short "hello" from a newbie -- got a black faced Superocean Steelfish in St. Thomas recently and have discovered this site -- looking forward to lots of fun and imparted knowledge from everyone in the future.

Welcome aboard....

I hope you enjoyed St. Thomas. Neat island, just not as clean as St. John or St. Croix. I stayed there a week, rented a Jeep and drove all over the place, including neighboring St. John.

So, as a newbie, perhaps I can ask this dumb question -- what is meant by the terminology 3/4 ling and full ling? I've picked up already on the Coral Club...

Welcome to the forum :welcome:

3/4 Ling is a 44mm-ish sized Breitling on a bracelet.. it is something of a joke to reflect the Breitling watches that aren't quite gargantuan, but are still quite large. The term Full Ling is actually explained in the site Glossary.

Thanks for the explanations -- guess I need to make a trip to the glossary section! One of these days I'll get around to pics -- they're always fun to look at.

Welcome to the forum...! Its even more special when you pick up a watch from a vacation spot. Everytime you look at your watch after that you think of the great place you brought it back from.....
