Being new here I thought I'd let you know my history. Not to bore you too much I thought I'd stick to the old addage that "a picture tells a thousand words".

One thing my pictures WILL tell you, is I'm a S**t photographer. :lol:

Anyway here goes

My first. (by the way, this is a keeper ) FAMOUS BLOODY LAST WORDS!!! AAARRGGGHHH :whiner:

Image

Then I saw this........

Image

Which became this at its first service

Image

....but was sold to finance this (My "Grail" watch)

Image

However prior to buying it, and knowing that they were possibly going to become as scarce as Hobby Horses pooh, I aquired the UTC BEFORE buying the Emergency.

Oh and while ordering the Emergency, I had to snap this Blue boy up. (well it was in the sale and was also now a discontinued Breitling icon)

I call this one "Brothers". ( Watches are male aren't they. They are in France)
Image

So as it stands, I just have "The Professionals". Cowley is obviouly the "E", I'll let you decide which is Bodie and Doyle.

Image

The wish list?

Navitimer Breitling Fighters
CA M-1 Team SEB Limited
B-2 Black (Batton dial)

Which was (nearly) achieved. (Went for a Red Arrows instead of B.Fighters)

Thanks everyone for the welcome.

Good to be here Davey, and to see you too. It was the pics of your Pros on another thread, that got me thinking.

I am well, more's the point I hope you are well too.

Thanks again, all.

Very nice story and pics. I saw a Yellow Emergency with UTC on eBay the other day and I was SO tempted to pull the trigger!
