Today I feel like a kid in a candy store :D
Firstly a FeDex box arrived from the US of A.
I have been scouring the world over for this ever since sharkman posted his a few months ago.
It was love at first sight.
This is Breitling #10 in my collection and it is a "perfect 10" just like Bo Derek in "10".
:drool:
Now I have to work out how to use all these dials :shock:

Image

Secondly, I received a call and email from Breitling China with an invitation to join them in the "Breitling Dragon Tour" in the southern city of Zhuhai for the China Airshow 2012 event on Nov 13 and 14.
The Breitling Aviation Team will be there as well and you can be assured of tons of modem burning photos from the event.
Rain or shine, I'll be there.

:cheer: :strummin: :cheer:

congrats on that pickup, Wes, gorgeous !
though - personal taste only, of course - I very much prefer it on brown or honey croc, makes the dial "come alive" for me.

A brown croc is definitely available for it as well Fred and as winter is around the corner the crocodile leather boots will certainly get much more use ;-)

I was thinking the Sea Gull 1963 China Air Force Re-issue seeing that it is Airshow China ;-)
Will most likely go for the Navitimer 01 LE for the show day but can not decide between the Chronomat B01 LE and the Transocean 01 LE for the evening party on the 13th.
Perhaps both, one on each wrist :-)
