Surprise Christmas incoming
Ok - it’s not a Rolex, but I am thrilled non the less.
I will put up a pic from my phone. So, I have a modest collection SD43, Exp II Polar, Breitling, Tudor, Tag, U-boat. Incredibly happy with my collection and each watch has a story. So I thought a watch may show up, but giving no hints I had know idea what. We start opening gifts and my daughter goes to give me a gift and my wife says, no, not yet……. Boom, I am getting a new watch. Open a couple silly things and my daughter gives me the package with “The Watch” I start to open it and see a box and ask if I should open this now…Both the girls laugh. I open it and it is the ugliest, cheapest, biggest watch Kohl's sold. Now I know I am getting a “real” watch. So I play it up, take off my Pelagos and put it on. They a laughing the entire time. Finally I get the real watch, it’s a Breitling Endurance Pro 44 (Yellow Strap version). Now, I have liked this watch since release, but would never pay the full MSRP for it. However, she went to my AD and got it for 25% off MSRP. Well done or lucky, don’t really care. Only bad part is my sales associate was off the day and didn’t get the sale. Regardless, such a fun watch. The Black and Yellow is perfect for me as a Steeler fan. It is a Rolex? No. But it is a fun casual watch for summer, travel, game day and when ever. Couldn’t be happier. Not a watch I would have ever purchased for myself. |

I saw one of these on Breitling's website and thought just the same words you posted to describe it.
Enjoy and celebrate it during the festive week ahead - after all you won't get lost in the early hours of New Year's Day since it has the cardinal points on the bezel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Both games were rather one sided and won by the visitors. Aside from being a watch fan, I love the NFL. At least the other game had a cool halftime show. Eagles fan, here… My AD just became a Breitling AD, too, so may have to check them out. Great gift! Merry Christmas! Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Great watch. Congrats! I've owned the blue since it was released and it's been solid. The Yellow looks awesome.

I love it!
I got a watch for Christmas that I never would have bought either but it means a lot! (Wish/ hope there was a 25% discount but not going to ask) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
