This watch has been on my wrist for most of the last three and a half years. She has some bruises to show for it but has never let me down. I have not named her though I have certainly had enough conversations with her that "If these walls, watch, could speak" I would undoubtedly have some explaining to do. We keep each others secrets so I'm safe talking to her. I wish there were no marks on her but the truth is they are many. Small but there, yet she keeps time perfectly and well within spec. I was not supposed to have this watch, it was going to be a Colt chrono, things change, I have this and I could not be more happy to have her along everyday, putting up with my rants and language, - - If walls could talk - .
Best health, Frank

Terrific shot of a terrific watch, Frank! Thank you for sharing. :) BTW, your use of lighting and composition has reached to darn near a professional level. I love the shadowing and highlites in that shot. Great job!
Best,
Ron

I think I can trust her, that said, your right!
Thanks for all the kind words people. It is hard not to get a good shot of such beautiful designs by Breitling. I had to try to stop taking photo's of my Blackbird and shoot a new subject. This was fun to do and I want to try to do more with the water. Thanks again for looking.
Best health, Frank

Man, if that was the true color of that dial I would have owned one a long time ago. Every time I saw one it looked greyish blue.

As always, beautiful picture.
