..... to my Breitling Chrono Cockpit which turned 10 years old at the end of last month.








Some wrist shots in Hawaii.....

Maui in a convertible Mustang:



On the North Shore of Oahu:





Haven't worn it in over 2 years! Time to get it serviced.

 

No need...as long as it's running fine.

Just kidding, Al....

 

Why is it not 48mm?!!?

 

Because I wanted a watch and not an alarm clock on my wrist.

 

Hmmm... that's a good answer.

 

Uncanny resemblance I do say!



Happy birthday

 

You taking it out for a nice birthday dinner?

 

Actually, my first watch was a Breitling Bentley Motors 48mm!! I was crazy and should've bought a navitimer in a way smaller size. I sold that thing for dirt cheap too..

 

Speaking of birthday wishes, as a present, if you don't mention it to your wife, can I offer you a threesome?

 

Hey, don't make fun of my watch! (although mine is 20 years old, from my son's birth-year)

 

That Omega and my Breitling are both Valjoux 7750-based calibers, although Breitling calls it the B13 and Omega calls it the 1152 (or sometimes the 1164).

So it's official - I took it in for service, along with some basic touch up on my manual wind AP Classique and a battery change &clean up of my wife's TAG.

 

It's pretty, but it's no Speedmaster.

 

Amen to that brotha!
