Hello,

Just received my first Breitling. Although I'm new to this site, I have already learned a wealth of information from the contributors. I was initially looking to get a NAVITIMER 01 but I couldn't pass up the great deal I received on this MONTBRILLANT DATORA:

:welcome:

You have made a wise choice. I would not have passed it up either. Great watch. Wear in good health and I look forward to your contributions here on the forum.

Warning:- Breitlings are addictive. :wink:

:lol: Yes, I think bozman means that you need to "align your red 10's" :lol:

It's an OCD Breitling thing some of us have :roll:

Great first Breitling with, including the Dalton Calculator (sliderule) some 14 different pieces of information on one dial.

Excellent first choice for a B. My first was a navitimer World and I still miss it about 25 B's later. That gem you have there is a timeless design. Should serve you well.
