My new and only Breitling addition

Just added this to my watch collection. The navitimer was one of my grails. Just sent it out to Breitling USA to have it completely Over Hauled. I want it back in Like new condition. It was in 8.5 out 10 when I purchased it. I also bought OEM watch straps: 2 crocodiles brown and black. Also 3 calf leathers navy, golden brown and dark green. Expensive to say the least for those accessories.

Navitimer D23322 Blingy. The straps are to dress it down and make it a bit understated when need be. I also have my Rolex 116610 subC. My goal is to collect Iconic watches from top brands. It took me awhile to buy this Breitling cause I was looking for a good value in the brand. I didn't want to buy new because I want the most BANG for my Bucks! This was in great condition and it was on the more expensive two tone bracelet.

I have the same with a white dial and gold mini dials/bezel. I keep mine on an alligator brown strap. I am itching for the Navitimer bracelet but having just bought a new Rolex I will likely need to wait a bit before I dish out for a two tone bracelet.

Interesting strategy, Byron. So what other models have you targeted?

I am thinking of adding a Audemar royal oak chrono gold or offshore ss around Xmas time and a Patek Nautilus down the line as a holy grail.

I find myself day dreaming of a AP ROC or ROO. My collecting strategy is for collecting only 4 watches.

Luxury watches
Breitling Navi and a Rolex SubC common folks will appreciate. Checked off lol. 2 down.

Haute Horology
AP and PP WIS folks will appreciate. 2 more to go
You never know who watching your wrist...

OK, I'm a bit north of you. Winter Park, the north side of Orlando for me.
