So about a year and a half ago I posted asking about a used colt for sale (needed some advice). Well I never did buy it and decided to wait...today I finally got my first Breitling! :D

I could not be happier with it, I was going to do some home improvements but that will wait for next year now. A week or so I saw it at Costco for $2,980 and simply could not get it out of my mind. This was some sort of torture and realized the only way I could rest is to pull the trigger.

Now I can rest

That's a nice watch. Congratulations. What a good price. You can rest now once you have made a wrist shot of your new watch.

Next up, an automatic watch, like one from the Avenger series?

Thank you! Yes I can't wait to wear it, it needs to be sized and I'm not even going to attempt it without the right screwdriver. I'll be stopping by the jeweler tomorrow to take care of it though.

Would love an Avenger, I also like the Blackbird but either way it will be some time before I get another one.
