Hey all, joined this forum almost two years ago with my first Breitling purchase: Black Navi world. Since then, I have added quite a bit to my collection, but I have just been lurking around and checking everyone's pictures and discussion here (only had 4 posts myself). I now live in Europe and been traveling quite a bit, and took some pics of the collection. Thought I might share it with everyone here.

The White SA on black rubber in Bavaria, Germany.

The BSSA in Oslo. Strap is made by Peter Gunny.

Image
Hamilton X-wind in Florence.

Image
B&R Heritage Chrono outside of Nortre Dame in Paris.

Rest of the collection, just posting for a family photo in my apartment. The swiss ammo on the PAM000 is TedSu, BSSA now has a HKTan Strap, and I put the Gunny Strap on the Navi World.

I know many people say my wrist is not big enough for the watches I wear, but I love it, and don't really care what others say:) Hope to get the rest of them out somewhere with a good pic. Enjoy!

Hi Bennie,

Well, if people remark that your wrist is too small for your watch then they are very rude. In future I would say to them "I was going to mention that your head is too small for your body but I am too polite to say something like that, at least I can change my watch whenever I want to" :uplaugh: . I have quite small wrists too but nobody ever remarked about them - they were more interested in my watch :D .

Oh, nice collection and in some nice settings too :) .

:lingsrock:

Very nice collection!! The Blacksteal SA looks awesome!! I used to have that Hammy X-Wind with a cream dial and it was super comfortable to wear and very well made for a watch under $1,000. Very very nice.

thanks for the compliments, actually, only a very few people make comments about the large watches, so im only a little self conscious :-)

and actually i do have several bracelets, the steel for the white SA (not shown), i also have a rolex sub, a sea dweller, and the speedmaster pro, just didnt want to bring them out to europe.

the strap on the pam is a custom light brown swiss ammo from tedsus website.

on my way to france with the steve mcqueen, hope i can get some pics!

and yes, the x-wind is suprisingly a beautiful watch, a friend of mine actually said that it was the best looking one in my collection.
