My First Breitling
I was at Tourneau's Los Angeles today, and traded cash and
a vintage Rolex (a manual wind Oyster Precision 6694) for this vintagey Breitling Chronomat. Its an A13050 from 1997, and a limited edition commemorating the ending of the (British) Royal Air Force deployment in Hong Kong. Thanks to all you Breitling lovers who have posted and shared your pics hgere. They helped me make this move. I rushed to get some pics done - and here they are:

That is a great watch! Make sure you keep it in good shape. That watch is not very common, and very collectable. You did a great job on that one!
