Newbie breaking cover!

I've just ordered my first Breitling: an 09 Airwolf with a silver dial. I'm quite excited!

I hummed and harred over the Aerospace, which I found amazingly light and thin on my wrist, but in the end decided I wanted a second hand, and, well, big name watch really does need a Big Watch!

Despite being what most people would consider in the middle aged years, I've never had a watch of any consequence. For the last 6 years or so I've had a Timex Ironman which is just about on the verge of destruction, and before that a Nike runner's watch. Before that, I did without a watch - I'm not big on wearing things - I even passed on the wedding ring!

And so you should be! :wink: :lol:

Welcome aboard, and by the way it's never too late to get into watches! Hope the Airwolf is everything you want it to be.

Well thanks, guys. That's a pretty warm welcome!

I found out today that my watch will arrive at home tomorrow, just in time for it to be presented to me on Sat am - my birthday! I wasn't expected such a quick delivery by a stretch, so hats off to the AD (Banks Lyon - who had given superlative service prior to that anyway).

I will post pics, promise. I might have to re-enact the opening for the camera tho. Not sure that Mrs G66 would quite understand why I was photographing every stage of opening my present - even if I were to explain it to her!
