complicated...beautiful...but is it worth it?!... R-

watches reflect time...time reflects memories... i'd keep it, B...and reflect... soulful... R-

J - great shots and great pieces... yes, please tell us more about those markings/words... R-

wow -- just got a note from my friend Sixx...who has been laying low with creaky bones since the weather changed...leaving the darkness and descending from his perch only to pounce on FS threads...his recent haul is hikelike in quantity and quality...kudos to my buddy - albeit with some degree of the usual "damn, i missed that sale" feeling... but then it dawns on me...yikes!...we all have the occasional hike disease...and next week is probably one of my largest hauls in a long while...ok, ok -- 4 are from the FS threads, 4 from The Z...but all in all -- yikes, 8!...incoming, incoming.... i've been doing my best to sell then buy...playing with the house's money, so to speak...somewhat successful...yeah, right...only one money order to keep off the wifely radar screen!... so here's to the postal workers worldwide...finding my small outpost of existence in central/northern NY... what's next?!?!?...hmmmmmmmmm...some wrist-time, i'm thinking... timing is everything, right?!... yes, my friends, we all do get the hike disease...and the first step in the process of recovery is admitting it... R-

a rather blustery rainy day in central new york...soccer playoff match at 1pm... Happy Halloween, RWG!...R

D - looking good...wear it well!... are you actually wearing a non-modded watch?!?!?!... R-

whoa, whoa, whoa... first off 1) i'm into 'Breitlings' (mostly), 2) name's Rob, not Bob, 3) emphatically, not apparantly... back to the point of this thread...i'm all over this "inner most self" thing?!...what do all you guys think?!...you don't have to have perfect crown guard horns or perfect lume dots to reply...

this one...yeah, this one...wow!... R- (what's your wrist size?)

only if you own a Skyland with perfect lume dots, i think?!...

thanks, A... awaiting the return of the CA from north of the border!...next week!... and re: python on Navi --> just had to try it, ya know... ...does make the dial and wings logo pop out...but if i'm trying to look badass with the python, it'll go on the grey skyland!...thinkin this Navi is gonna stay on this nato for awhile -- looks and wears great... great info on the gen...someday, maybe... R-

@andreww --> as always, my friend, great insights and details... yes -- it's a damn shame they can't produce the Navitimer any better than they do...unless you have the talents of francisco or polexpete to franken a beauty!... re: dial swap --> i think you'd also have to be concerned over the look...the white outer ring matches the white/silvery subdials on my v1...not so sure that the v2 subdial coloring would match up as well with the ring should you do a transplant...the outer ring on my v2 blue dial TT arabic was more of an antique/creme white...side by side, the v1 is much brighter white...tough to tell this by looking at pix unless you have them side by side... re: dial finish...the black matte dial makes the gold breitling wings logo pop out!... i posted this thread to show this watch - mostly because it's a nice one...i keep playing around with various straps and enjoy them all...but even tho the tan python makes this watch look badass, i REALLY like this nato on it... R-

me, too, S!...this has always been one of the definitive Breitling models/looks IMO...we all know they are inaccurate, but seriuously........ thanks, Red...got the nato from vlydog and it went in the box...decided to try it on this watch and love it...brings out the dial and numbers smartly... thanks, J...that's the plan, man!... ***************** @Yodap --> under further scrutiny, it does look like stickers...but damn tough to tell... ***************** R-

v2 sliderule dial doesn't align...lume on numbers and hands are 1/2 the brightness of this one...i had both... even tho the gen's dials are glossy, i actually prefer this one...also, the v2 dial has more paint flowing into the datewheel cutout that i don't like as much, too...the blue dial i just sold does have a really nice reflective coloring to it that changes with lighting... planning to send this north for a datewheel update and some other loving... re: rotor --> not so sure about that Yodap...but not really an issue sticker or engravings -- it looks sweet one way or the other...may see if i can get closer with macro... thanks...R

@fjk --> i love your freakin avatar...it just seriously cracks me up... well done, man!... @Hike --> you gonna do these in rose gold, too?!... R-

R-

holy crap....that's beautiful!... R-

Agreed Dems! Someone here has a great banner as their sig with Sam Jackson from Snakes on a Plane stating: "Read the Mutha [censored] Thread before you Mutha [censored] Post"! Love that sig whoever it belongs to! R-

an oldie, but goodie!... as Lani and many other strap-mongers have taught me, it's all in the subtleties...check out how the coloring of the nato strap brings out the lumed numbers and hands...and creates a nice compliment to the black matte dial... enjoy -- R

good eye, Ubi!... it's a v1 Navitimer...sexy engraved rotor, too... R-

very cool, F...very!... who would have thought you had all that talent?!... R-

S - congrats, man!!!!.... wishing you and the mrs2be all the best... R-

fighting a damn cold this week...this one makes me feel better... Have a great weekend, RWG!... R-

"we're not worthy, not worthy"... thanks, A!... R-

anyone, anyone?!...
