Hi, my name is Ryan, and I'm a watch-aholic. I've buying watches since the early 80's when i was about 7 yrs old. I'd find swiss automatics and manual winds on the $19.95 table at the local Gayfers. They weren't cool, they weren't quartz, and they weren't LCD.
Seriously, Old School, well then it was new school, but i think my greatest moment was an Eternal Kon Tiki's for $19.95?
So that's how I got started.

I've been online for about 9 years, buying, selling, trading, and trying to support my habit. I've been through 100's of watches.
I have Rolexes, Omegas, Tissots, Panerai's, GP's, seikos, etc, but I have yet to own a Breitling...thought I did have a few Wakmanns!
and Now, The Steelfish has caught my eye.
So here I am, joining the Breitling Forum, to learn from your WISdom, and immerse myself in the world of Breitling. :mrgreen:

I use the same screen name on the other forums, so if you know me from there say hi!

Welcome to BreitlingSource Ryan.

That Eterna sounds like a great pick up - why do I never find those??

There's plenty of people here to help you figure out what your first half a dozen Breitlings should be, and there's a true appreciation for watches of all flavours here so I think you'll feel at home and have an opportunity to share your experiences.
