So I was planning on picking up a new Steelfish in April until George from Govberg called me and told me about a watch he's taking in on trade. He made a deal too good to pass up so I put my deposit down today. The deal isn't final until they get the watch they ordered for the guy who traded it in, but here are some pics he sent me today. He told me it was the slate dial, but once I got the pictures I realized it was actually the graphite dial, needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The best part is the original owner just bought this on 12/26/08 and rarely wore it. The hard part is going to be waiting now. I promised my wife I wouldn't buy another Breitling until April, so the soonest this will be on my wrist is April 1.

Thanks Mario. I was a little nervous since I've never seen this watch in person nor have I ever tried on an Evo, but I said if I ever had a chance to buy one at a good deal, there's no way I could pass it up.

Congratulations!

Hope all deals go through and you get your Chronomat. It will be difficult not to wear it before April, if it arrives in March...

I didn't even realize that, I'll have to let George know. This is the second time he's sent me pics with a misaligned bezel.

Great looking watch. I also bought mine at the same dealer (thanks for recommending them to me).

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'll be plenty busy with the new addition to our family any day now so the month will fly by for me.
