I had never thought about owning a "fine" watch before last Friday night. Actually I couldn't have named any fine watch except probably Rolex. I had certainly never heard of Breitling. The most expensive watch I had ever owned was a $300 Casio. Then Friday night I was watching Man-v-Wild on the Disovery Channel. I thought the watch Bear Grylls was wearing looked cool and went to the show's forums to see if there was any information on it. Someone had asked that question and a response was "Breitling Emergency Mission." I Googled Breitling and found their website where I was immediately hooked. The next link on Google was this site where I spent all Friday night reading the articles, glossary, videos and these forums. I had checked the Breitling site and saw the nearest AD was 0.5 miles from my house. When they opened at 10:00 a.m. I was there. By 11:00 I had walked out wearing an Avenger Skyland SS (decided I didn't really need the Emergency) and knowing what it feels like to have a fine timepiece on my wrist. How did I live with old rubber bands for so many years? From never hearing of Breitling to refusing to take mine off and planning my next one - all within 12 hours
