I thought you were looking at that late 90's colt for him on eBay, Doc? You should've FORCED it on him and told him that he'd be infinitely grateful in a few years that you introduced him to the World of Breitling at such a young age!

Nah, I think you did the right thing. You cant appreciate nice stuff unless you have a lower point of reference in the past. A colt at 18 seems reasonable, but at 12? He probably will want a Patek by 20 at that rate. |

Doctor, You (and he) will be well pleased with this watch. I have an older model T-Touch and really enjoy it. It is great for traveling and also for any type of outdoor sporting. It is a good choice, and I think he will appreciate it. |

Thanks guys.....when he is older, (and bigger...though 5'7" at 12 aint bad) I might talk him into a SA, I guess I'll be too old and frail to wear mine by then

Ah yes - I remember you mentioning them. That's great from the other side of the world - and good service as I recall from your previous purchase. Will certainly bear them in mind for the future - when I diversify a bit! |
