    I know that all too well. I keep one in my pocket for my when I wear my Breitlings. Got to keep them looking purdy.

    Tell me about it. I am really tempted to get the B-1 brushed...

    Although perhaps I should swap out the soft cloth with a piece of scotch brite. That way, in a few months, I wouldn't have to worry about polishing up my precious.

    Very nice! I didn't figure you for a breitling man, M, more vintage dress watch maybe. I was wrong.

    Thanks, Geoff.

    You know, my first "serious" watch that I bought for myself was a Breitling Navitimer.

    I mostly prefer dress watches because I am usually in formals. However, I definitely have my share of non-dress watches (e.g., Casio Pathfinder, Panerai, Seiko Monsters).

    I think you should send one to me immediately as I am also supremely aeronautical, partially engineered, and somewhat relative.
    There is no error so monstrous that it fails to find defenders among the ablest men.

    Well, the thing has been shipped. Expected to arrive sometime tomorrow.

    We are planning on flying a puddle jumper over to Martha's Vineyard over Thanksgiving, so I guess I know which watch I'll be wearing.
