Hi everyone.

I was given a Breitling as a reward for a job well done 15 years ago and it has been on my wrist day and night ever since.

The black sharkskin strap rotted in 2 years and boy do they stink!

Clasp broke 2 years ago so I have a cheapo clasp on what I think is a Professional 1 bracelet.

I got fed up with being without my Breitling every two - three years when i send it for a new battery so I bought SuperOcean Chrono.
It was advertised as a blue dial but when I got there it was black. Bought it anyway but that was a mistake because I have now decided I would rather have a white dial. It is too big for everyday use.

I just bought SuperOcean Coral with brown Croc Strap. It was described as 'Mint' and the condition is almost too good to wear.

The two new watches have paperwork and boxes and it was through this site that I learnt enough to feel confident about buying second hand.

The coral came with a brown croc strap but I want to replace it ASAP with a metal bracelet. I'll be asking for advice in Help section.

Just noticed in the photos that some of the watches are really grubby. Must offend the purists amongst you. One of the problems of living on a building site and spending my days off off-roading.
