Welcome to the Hotel Horrorology ... once you check in you can never leave.

Good point and got me thinking...it can be a bit of a "dark desert highway" as well so it pays to bring a flashlight on your venturing.

Nice little collection there MP. I've noticed a significant renaissance in the Breitling reps since I came back and I can see why judging by these examples.

JTB

PS - aren't "manly reflections" quite de rigeur these days?

A 100 watches on your wrist! That's a picture I'd like to see.

Welcome and have fun.

JTB

Well done to you Samurai. I reckon the site and your fellow members get a lot of the credit otherwise why would people bother posting.

Break out the valium folks!

Jeff - As the proud owner of a lovely 6 year old but mint blue Jag XK8, I say go for it. Once you've dismissed depreciation, fuel cost, insurance etc. etc. and you get down to the enjoyability and affordability criteria then you've made your mind up.

I rewarded myself following 18 months of solid hard work. I felt I deserved it and fortunately so did my missus.

Je ne regret rien!

The only iffy thing for me is the colour.

That's nice man! I'm sure you bought the paperwork to sell it as a gen on the bay... And you are a f.ckin scammer just like me right?

No, I don't think so.

Greetz.

Okay you've made your point as have others. Let's keep the posts respectful please.

Whilst this is a subject worthy of debate, there is nothing to be gained in trashing each other.

He never misses but occasionally he gets nicked

All joking aside though, I think I'm correct in saying that at a gig in Washington in 1989, whilst doing one of his windmills he speared his plectrum hand right through with the guitar's tremolo bar and needed to be taken to the hospital.

Now that is suffering for one's art!

JTB

PS - And people wonder why he used to smash these things up - they're dangerous weapons of hand destruction for Pete's sake!!!

In say 6 months time you'll and in all probability regret ever asking the question.

JTB

The fact is that it doesn't really matter since Reps should always be protected by a HEAVY layer of duct tape over the face when worn anyway (*IMPORTANT* the face of the watch, NOT your own face), in order to prevent scratches. If you've duct taped your watch properly, no one (including you) should be able to even SEE the crystal anyway.

You just can buy good advice like that these days!

JTB

Just imagine snowballs at that speed. Yeah!

Well you've got my attention TJ. Go on give it a go and keep the pictures coming.

JTB

Every scratch and ding tenderly created. This is no ordinary watch, this is a crazy sale, art neuveau, war torn, Nanuq watch.

Respect. I'll give u 5 bucks for it. Final offer.

JTB

Now you are cooking with gas!!!!

More of a Wholigan actually Bob!

PS: How many of the ones that don't tick are old Asian 6497's, seconds at 6 chronos, or correct hand stack 2836 GMT's?

Suprisingly none Robbie. In truth there is only one that doesn't tick. A cheapo Colamariner I got in the very early days. Don't miss it - the cheap tinny bracelet used to give me a rash and it had more flaws than you'd find at a flaw convention. Where's the next one btw?

JTB

Lets substitute the lies from fact

Johnnyboy lacked a little tact

Jonthebhoy is not the same

The 'Loony Bin' he cannot claim

*Pause for windmill*

We used to look pretty good together

Difference was he always had good weather

But I'm no substitute for another guy

I'm JTB and I can fly????????

Yeah - don't give up the day job!

JTB

Now I know I'm home - Jetmid resurfaces!

JTB

I can best categorise my collection these days into two distinct groupings.........Ticks......and Doesn't.

JTB

Hey all!

Now had you started with "Four score and seven years ago.......hey all!" this would have created more of an impact, you would have carved your name with pride on RWGs big wooden doors. You may even have catapulted yourself straight into 'classic post' folklore.

Alas it's "Hey all!" and therfore all that remains is for me to extend a simple but respectful, "Hello" right back at you.
