Franck Muller Cintree Curvex Chronograph 8005 Silver Stainless Steel Strap Black Dial Watch

What got you interested in Breitling?
My first real watch happened to be a Breitling and was handed down to me by my father . . . an 806 Navitimer. This watch woke up a dormant obsession for watches burried deep inside me for years. Here is the centerpiece of my collection . . . post a pic of yours.

A Mistake Corrected
Well, maybe not a mistake, but this sits and feels so much better than the coaxial 57 it replaced.Don't think I can add anything that hasn't already be said.This might also be the best watch box/presentation I've ever seen.

Late for a meeting? I don't think so!
Here is a little story you might all appreciate....So, I go to the weekly staff meeting and much to my surpise, I am the last one there. That seemed odd because I am never the last one.I looked at my Seamaster and its 9:57. I remarked that I was surprised everyone was there on time. My boss said I was late. I said, I don't think so. Its 9:57. He looked at the clock on the wall and said, Its 10:01. I said, Actually, I think your clock is wrong because I set my watch to time.gov run by National Institute of Standards. Boss says, How do you know your watch is right. I say, Because it is certifide by the official Swiss testing institute.Everyone looked dumbfounded. Discussion over. Seamaster, ~$3,000. Dogging your boss, priceless.Pete

Off to Bienne...
I sent my Seamaster to Bienne today. I have heard that the Swiss service centers are much better to deal with than the ones here in the USA (I also thought it would be more fun sending it to its home.)It cost me $38.00 and change for express with insurance. It is supposed to be there in 4 business days.I asked them for some Omega goodies in my request letter, we will see what I getAfter they get the watch, service it and return it I will write a brief review of the whole process.

Patek pricing is irrelevant
Because I'm never parting with this one.Enjoy your weekend!
