Hi all. I have been a Breitling fan and in particular the Emergency model since around 1995 when a friend bought himself a Navitimer while on holiday in St Thomas and brought me back a catalog
I have always had a watch fetish since I was a little kid as I would always ask for a watch for christmas. Bummer is that I would always be needing a new one before the next crimbo came around. For some reason I am very hard on watches and collisions with door knobs seems to be common tho hopefully that will change as of right now 
I have just bought myself a pre owned Emergency from George at Govberg's with a little help from jnelson3097 and so now I am no longer a lurker and look forward to being a member of this forum.
Cheers,
David.
ha!
I knew they buff the case/bracelet and replace the seals but I didn't realize that they replace the crystal as well 
Basically if the serial number didn't match up I would think that this is a brand new watch. Now I will be afraid to wear it as even the desk diving marks are gone off the clasp.
