I got myself a little present :P

So I've spent a while searching for a new rugged watch and it turned out Breitling stopped making it 2 years ago. Lucky for me i found one after scouring the net from a AD.

Its a Chrono Avenger Auto Black Dial, titanium. I love it, the daytona may be sitting for a long while :(

Ill toss pics up when i get home. Just for reference here is what it looks like
