Been lurking on the thread - thought it was a nice Friday to post.

LIKE....W A N T ....

I have a total love hate relationship with that watch. My finger has hovered over "buy now" quite a few times now but I always chicken out at the last moment.

Breitling Friday......quartz but titanium, bought for the Swatch-style numbers!

Acquired pretty cheaply through Chrono24 from a UK pawnbrokers (H&T, who call themselves Est 1897 on Chrono24). H&T seem to have about a thousand watches on the site. Most are quite high end from what I can see - Rolexes, Cartier (lots of more 'jewellery-oriented' brands if you know what i mean) etc. Only caveat: the bracelet was missing a screw which I don't remember seeing in the photos, but OK as I needed to remove a link. Also no papers/box. Watch itself works fine and H&T seemed open to negotiate on price.

Must be all the fat accumulated over winter. I can move it about without any trouble ;)

Such a great, low maintenance watch.

I was really expecting a new GS diver at Baselworld. Turned out the LX was the one. Maybe later this year though. That style’s been around a while. It definitely ain’t broke though.

It’s Margarita time

If you close your eyes and think calm thoughts for five minutes the jealousy might fade a little.
