Hi Guys,

Had a chance to take a pic of my collection, the B1 had been away for a service/fix. so now I'm back to full strength.

Cannot see me adding any more anytime soon 'tho, unless I win the lottery!

But I'm very happy with this bunch.

Take care

Davey

Fantastic collection, good sir! I can only assume that, as you seem to be (?) entirely invested in Breitlings, you are an aviator..?

Hi

Well my heart tells me I'm an aviator, but my brain is not in good enough working order!!!!

I love aeroplanes and all things flight, so Breitling was always going to be my choice for a watch.

I just seem to have let my collecting get out of hand!!!

Looking very good there Davey, very good indeed. :wowzers

Gutted I missed the chance to see the MK1 again the other week, but that was entirely of my own doing. :cry:

The SOH's stand out for me as well, and you gotta love the B1+

Nick.

Love the collection Davey, all bases are covered, great range and great picture of them all, thanks for sharing.

I'm genuinely curious as to whether you like any other watch brands and plan to add anything other than Breitling sometime in the future? Not that you need to of course, your collection is already awesome.

Hi tim,

Hope you are well, nice to hear from you.

I did buy an Omega PO Chrono, a beautiful watch, but literally 30 mins after I bought it, I fell and broke & dislocated my thumb. I think I maddened the Breitling God's.... :roll:

I only kept 2 pictures I took of it.

Anyhow, I never felt the same level of pride/happiness when I wore the POCH. It's a damn silly thing really as it's an excellent and truly comparable watch, In some people's opinion, better than any of my Breitlings...

So I sold it on, and I've never bought anything else.

I have a few much cheaper watches, but these rarely see daylight.

The experience with the Omega has held me back from buying an IWC Portuguese, which I think is stunning, but will it get worn.......

Nice to hear from you too Davey. Everything is great thanks, I hope it's the same with you also.

Geez that is amazing, falling and breaking your thumb after purchasing the POC, some sort of Omen you think? I can completely understand why you got rid of it. Beautiful watch though, I love my PO.

I understand what you're saying. You've got everything you need in the Breitlings anyway so I can see how it would be difficult to share the collection with anything else. The IWC Porto though is a very nicw watch! Thanks for the explanation.

By the way you're going to have to teach me how to take quality photos one day...seriously, your pics are awesome! What are you looking at next :lol:

Hey cigarlvr,

Yes, you might be right! I just seem to be addicted.

From your name I'm guessing you are a lover of the formidable Cigar? Never tried one, or even a cigarette myself, but I'm assured the love/appreciation of a fine cigar is equal to that of a fine wine or malt whisky.

I'd like to hear if this is so?
