Hi All,
I was so happy to have bought my Rolex, I decided to buy my brother a watch as well. We are super close & I wanted to give him something. He's always wanted a Breitling and admired the Colt a few yrs back. I found a cream one in pristine condition, & if bracelet is the actual bracelet, then the watch would be dated 2005. I gave it to him yesterday afternoon. He was speechless.

That's the reaction I was going for.

We were all sitting at the table having something to drink and chat while the kids were eating. I brought over the black bag I had the box in and I asked my nephew what his favourite colour was. He yells out yellow, which it is. LOL I pulled out the box and I asked him, is it this kind of yellow, again my 3.5yr old nephew yells out..yes. My brother is sitting there with a stupid grin on his face stunned. LOL I placed the box in front of him, kissed his cheek and told him to enjoy it.

Thank goodness it fit PERFECT. The bracelet didn't have to be sized.

He wore it all day/evening for his bbq showing it off to all his guests. I caught him a few times staring at it and when he saw me looking, he smiled and gave me the thumbs up with a wink.

What a great guy my brother is.

Have a great day!

I told him he was lucky I didn't find the Breitling before my Rolex. It looks good on me! I could have saved a lot of money. LOL here it is on my wrist..

Love yours by the way.

Salty, buy him a Rolex?

Why?

He'll get mine when I kick off!

Thanks for your compliments.

Not everyone considers Rolex the be all and end all of watches

That is a beautiful Breitling, and a wonderful gift. I an sure your brother will continue to be thrilled with it.

And you are a great big sister. I wish I have a big sis like you. Congrats to both of you.
