Hello from Bristol!
Hi Just a polite intro of myself; I have been a lurker for a while:blushing: and have finally found the time to register and say hello.
I have been an avid admirer of the brand since my childhood, I travelled extensively with the British Merchant Navy through the 80's and never took the plunge in any of the tax havens I visited. I plodded on with a Seiko ano/digi which did the job for Sun/Star sights.....(when Sat nav was new and LORAN and DECCA ruled the world). (I figure that wimmin, booze, and cars took a priority in those days
)
I settled down and in 1990 bought a SD:drool:. It was worn daily (apart from the inevitable services) until 2004 when due to a complete lack of judgement on my part:001_rolleyes: I sold it having been awe-inspired by the Breitling stable.
Due to a few dissapointments therewith:001_unsure: I flogged all my B's last December and acquired a new 'M' series SD about 6 weeks ago. I guess I was keen to acquire another SD pre any price increases and to make sure I could get hold of an 'original albeit updated' design in case they 'big it up' and remake it post Basel this year.
So there you have it, one happy Portzed sat with a SD wrapped around his wrist beating out a very nice 28,799.3333333333333 bph rhythmn that simply suits me down to the ground (loses 2 secs per 24hr period)
I guess I'll wait until I have an interesting location/backdrop and post a wrist shot in due course.
Thanks for having me!:thumbup1:
