What a great collection! Why is the Breitling being retired and do you have a close up of that Rolex?

Re: Berty - June 2016
The Breitling takes quite a bit of abuse as I've worn it almost daily since I bought it new. I work in construction so it ends up getting in all sorts of scrapes and bumps - I've had it serviced and refinished by Breitling before and its due another service as its now loosing 3 or 4 minutes a week. Rather than spend £400 on a service and refinish I thought i'd retire it gracefully and put the money toward a replacement.Caller wrote:What a great collection!

The Rolex is a pig to photograph........ too shiny done my best though (it's filthy as usual.......)

Re: Berty - June 2016
Thanks for sharing your collection.
Monaco - have lusted after one of these often - one day..
CW - very classy looking watch
Rolex - very unusual, love the face
Breitling - is probably the big brand I least desire, so agree your choice of moving it on. Out of interest what are you looking to replace it with?

Re: Berty - June 2016
The Monaco is a strange beast for me - I don't give it as much love as it deserves. I spend more time looking at it than wearing it and it will probably end up being traded for something shiny at some point.Thegreyman wrote:Thanks for sharing your collection.

The Serti dial on the Rolex was what swung the purchase - As much as I love the blue sunburst dial that they usually come with I fell for the slate dial and the rest is expensive history.......
The Breitling will probably end up being passed on to my son when he's old enough not to trade it in for xbox games. As for the replacement - Another Breitling or possibly an Omega if funds stretch.....

Re: Berty - June 2016
Very nice set, the Rolex is not what you would call discrete but does not look over the top, the CW is top notch.

Re: Berty - June 2016
Lovely collection. Cant help but think you are one watch away from completion there... a tool watch maybe? Tudor North Flag or a Sinn/Damasko perhaps.
Cant fault what you own though. Glorious.
