Hi,

really glad to have found this forum. Always enjoyed reading it.
Thought I'd dip my toes in and make a post.

I thought you might like to see some of my watches.
Still learning how to photograph decently, forgive the the reflection and lack of focus.

I think the group accurately reflect my interests, a mix of Breitling and pilots watches.

That black military chrono looks fantastic! :drool:

Just love that style, whether it's Heuer, Breitling, or Sinn...

Thanks for the kind words.

The Navi is from 1960,
The Zenith Special I'm guessing mid-1930's
The Precista which is British Military issue was only made for one year I believe, 1981
The Co-pilot from memory I think is 1965
The Breitling 817 is I think the rarest of the bunch, produced for the Italian military
it has a Valjoux 236 movement and is around 1975.

I have a real soft spot for that one because it's one of the few purpose built military issued
Breitling's ever made and appeals to both my fascinations.
