Post by: hotrod30 on March 12, 2009, 09:41:55 pm: Very nice timepieces :happy2: , I really do appreciate the quality and workmanship...

...I havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t worn a watch for 20-years since the battery died. DonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know why, I guess because everywhere I look thereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s the time in front of me... alarm clock, kitchen clock, microwave, VCRÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s, mobiles, car, on my Macs at work & home... like tiny grains of sand slipping through my fingers...

... Note to self, limit the amount of Vodka & Cranberry you drink prior to logging in. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Post by: VC on March 12, 2009, 11:52:30 pm: :drool: liking that, what's the strap?
Title: Re: forget the Rolex this is where its at...
Post by: stealthwolf on March 13, 2009, 12:00:31 am: Fudge the strap - the most important question of all:

Does the bezel rotate?
Title: Re: forget the Rolex this is where its at...
Post by: T88OMM on March 13, 2009, 12:15:05 am: I have not got a clue whether the bezel rotates or what the strap is :grin:

I have wanted a Breitling since I can remember and this is the one that I liked out of the whole range, after trying it on at the jewellers this evening I was sold! I am not into all the mechanical stuff etc..I just love the way they look, I think they are stunning :grin:
