The first time I saw the bright yellow display at an AD in Belize. I browsed the case and knew I had to get one sooner or later.

I purchased a Steelfish last year just to try out a Breitling and was so impressed with the quality. I've since sold it (regretted it from the second the sale closed) and have a CSO to replace it and continue to love the build quality of the brand. Most models don't do it for me, but due to the quality, I am always interested on what they offer.

It use to be all Rolex for me years ago up until I saw someone at Neiman Marcus wearing a Breitling White dial SA. :D I was completely WOWED :wowzers :wowzers :wowzers by its impressive wrist presence and super masculine bling bling look that got the attention of so many people in the store including myself. I've never seen any watch like it and suddenly my Rolex look very ordinary, boring and feminine next to this watch. I did not know the name of the watch but saw the Wings Logo. When I got home, I did a search on Google right away and found out that it was a BREITLING WATCH!!! The next day, I went to a local dealer and bought the same exact watch..my very 1st Breitling!!!!!! :cheer: :D

about 12 months ago - almost by accident.

I was having problems wih a seamaster that took 6 months to repair under warranty. on one of my many visits to the AD, they had a used navi D23322 in the window and 5 minues later it was mine when they reduced it by 25%.

worn it way more than my other watches since and sold the errant seamaster.

added an avenger code yellow this month.

now got a hankering for a nice used steelfish.

bitten by the bug?

I can't remember what prompted me to look at Breitling or where I first saw one but in the summer of 2002 I bought my first one which was a yellow Emergency, closely followed by a coral dial Emergency and then a coral dial SuperOcean by the end of the year.

So, you're a Skulls member now? They used to give away Navis...

Oh, well, I know you can't answer that, it's a secret, right? :wink: :lol:
