I was looking at my watch the other day literally watching time pass and I thought to myself "how can I share this kick ass watch with everyone" or "how can I show everyone what a FREAK I am about Breitlings" (you pick). I found a high resolution .jpg of my watch, an old clock, a sheet of heavy weight 8 1/2 X 11 paper, and a shadow box lying around the house. I tore apart the clock, photoshoped the .jpg to get rid of the hour and minutes hands, printed the finished photo, painted and trimmed the clock hands to match the watch hands, put it all together and voila a Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono "BLACKSTEEL" L/E clock. The hour, minute, and second hands all work. The second hand on the clock is actually the chronograph minute hand on the watch. The actual seconds hand on the watch is the sub-dial at six o'clock but you folks already know that. I couldn't get that detailed. I took the photo at 10:10 to give the clock some authenticity for this post. The only problem with the function o the clock is that it is always the 12th of the month for every month. My kids dig it but my wife thinks I am loony. What do you think?

You are truly a WIS. Very nice 1-off. BTW, you could have used some "artistic creativity" and photoshopped the date out.
