Hi Everyone,

I have been here for a few weeks, looking, looking & looking. Just getting up the nerve to intro myself.

To fess up, I should have come here first and introduce myself, but decided to see what was on offer around the site first. Certainly is THE place to be for all things Breitling. :lingsrock:

My personal collection is modest. 769 Chronomat from 1951, which is in poor condition. I also have an O & W Aviation (old Style Cosmonaught) with a 7736/24 movement in stainless steel. Great watches and I like to wear them on special occassions only. They are either too fragile, too beautiful or too expensive to wear every day. :lol:

I hope to learn a lot and contribute (where I can) to the general discussion on Breitling.

Regards

Jim

Oh, OK.

So I wonder if you, Novacastrian and myself are the only 3 Oz based forum members?

Regards

Jim

Yeah, just a few here and there. If you look in the Buy/Trade/Sell section, there's one who wants to sell a Chronomat Evolution and another who wants to buy a Navitimer.
