Hello All, finally after about 4 years of indecisive browsing :oops: I've bought myself an Aerospace. It is a pre owned example, but a nice, clean Avantage on a Pro2 bracelet, and I managed to get it for what I consider a good price.

It was listed on eBay, and conviently located between home and work. I went for a pre bid inspection and managed to do the deal there and then. Happy days :D

It did have some minor marks on the bracelet, but I managed to carefully remove them with these abrasive impregnated rubber blocks. Haven't seen a mention of these on the site yet:

Thanks for the warm welcome chaps :) This will no doubt not be my last Breitling. I like most of of the professional series so an Airwolf with a leather strap would be very nice.

I've always had a soft spot for the Emergency, just not totally convinced with the size of the antenna housing.

Nice first Ling if I do say so myself. ;) Once you get one, you will always be looking for your next.

Enjoy your new purchase and wear it well.
