For the last several years I have been a bit of a gear head with camera equipment. Film-digital, Hasselblad, Canon, Leica, I have bot sold and bot again many bodies and lenses. I have recently liquidated all but one body and lenses (kept my Canon stuff) and have quickly taken a shine to watches, Breitlings especially. Looking at and trying other brands, I just feel the wrist presence with the Breiltlings is really spectacular. So far I have a Colt II Quartz, Navitimer World, Super Avenger and a Bentley 6.75 on the way (bot from a forum member here). Am I over extended, hell yea but this is a fully colateralized hobby (well almost) so can liquidate at at any time or until the wife catches me. This seems like a great board and I love the video reviews performed by its owner? I look forward to learning even more about these fine watches through of all the info posted here.

Wow! You don't do anything half way do you? That's quite a start in the watch collecting hobby with some really excellent watches. Congratulations on the incomings and welcome to the site. It's great to have you here.

Yea a little over the top lol. I did build up quite a collection of camera gear over the years so had some funds built up. I also rely on parking some purchases in a line of credit account till I sell something. I look at the interest as a rental fee until which time I sell.

Nice going! That's one way to get into watches! :lol:

Most of us seem to start very gradually and build up over the years, but you've jumped straight in! Nice work! Oh and welcome aboard. :thumbsup:
