FAO Watch Lovers...
I came across these interesting videos whilst browsing the Breitling site today... (Click GB to get English versions once loaded)
A Major service...
Polishing...
Quartz Overhaul...
I found them very interesting to watch and almost justifies the price of a major service. LOL

I also have a different Breitling Navitimer on right now that I took a shine to whilst out with a good mate of mine drunk one night. Nicked it off him that night.... and have had it since before Christmas now! The strap was a bit tatty so I ordered him a new one and getting it fitted at Watches of Switz at lunch time as a surprise present for him....
meeting him after work tonight... and for a laugh I am gonna walk in looking distraught and upset... and give him half the OLD strap without the watch and say I got pissed last night and it must have broken and I didnt realise and lost the watch and watch him hit the ceiling
gonna have another mate on other side on bar film it secretly as well
here is the watch that I am gonna 'loose' hahahah
I am gonna miss it. Its a little big for my taste normally... excuse my gay coloured shirt!

Sadly not mine...
This is the one I bought this week
Its smaller than the one I have on now.
It looks ok there. But the face has gold instead of silver...
I'm not that keen on it to be honest... but it was helping a friend of Marias out who was very very skint!

Not that I could ever buy such a costly thing to keep track of time but I shure enjoy reading about it on here, gives me a glimpse into a different league. And yes, they look great. 
Speaking of gay shirt color, I stayed in Sydney to watch the olympics in 2000 and walked into a store to buy a nice shirt. Girl in the shop picked out a blue and a pink. Really liked the look of the pink one but then it struck me that Sydney just been named gay capitial of the world or something so I went for the blue one.
6 months after I got home to Sweden everyone had a pink shirt.

Maria reckons it's the poor blokes pride and joy. He is just soooo skint right now. I'll let him have it back as soon as he has the money. To be honest it's not as nice as it looks in the pic. The gold detail on face looks bit tacky.
Get the submariner mate! I love those. Classic and cool.
Great watch. Silver with black yes? That's what I fancy
