Hey guys my name is Hector. And I'm from Houston, Texas. Just bought a Bentley GT with a white dial.
It had been my dream for the past 5 years to buy a Breitling watch. But unfortunately my financial situation just
wouldn't allow it. I've loved swiss watches since I was a kid. Hell I remember I worked all summer just to buy a Movado.
But the Breitling was on my top list since forever! My mom saved up some money and bought me a used Cartier Mid-size Roadster with a black dial last year. But then again life's ugly head reared its way and my transmission messed up on my car. I almost lost my job because of that shitty car... so in the end i had to sell my Roadster to get the transmission rebuilt. I literally cried when I gave up the watch. I've worked hard for everything in my life but it always seem like I could never catch a break. So somehow someway I managed to finally save enough money, hell it took me almost a whole year. But I bought myself a Breitling Bentley GT for my 25th Birthday this past Monday. I know you guys don't want to hear my sob story and I probably sound like a total loser. But wearing that watch makes my crappy life, seem less crappy I guess. I'm a total watch geek. But its okay. Just wanted to let you guys know how much a Breitling really means to me. I look at it as finally achieving a dream. I know its not much...but to me that little GT means the world.

See! Sometimes we forget what our watches really mean to us. Between all the yelling and complaining abou buck Rogers fonts and orange and red bezels and too many blacksteels and price increases, we forget what it's all about!

Welcome and congrats!
