That is indeed a formidable timepiece!

I'm another one's who got out of the habit of wearing a wrist watch. Since having to cart a mobile phone around, it tends to double as a pocket watch. I should really grow a set of mutton chop whiskers and carry it around on a gold chain in my waistcoat pocket to complete the effect... They don't seem to fit these things with holes though; now where's my drill?

Impressive hardware, Peter.
But by the time I finished reading it, it would be time for bed again!
Personally, I've often drooled slightly at the Breitling ads.

Can't justify it as I've worn a watch once in the past twelve years, and that was to ensure that I didn't miss the train home.
As suggested above, if you're chucking the old titanium one out, I'm sure I could find a space in the Museum.

Navitimer a bit too complicated for my needs, I have a Breitling Colt GMT.

Hi Pete

,
Found numerous images for Colt GMT, and they vary considerably. Which one do you have?

I had one of the original Breitling Navitimers which I bought in Gibraltar...I wore and used the circular computer on it for many years, until I swapped it for a 9mm Luger pistol! My mate sold the watch many years later for much more than my Luger was worth and VERY much more than I paid for it originally...I gave away the Luger to a friend when I sold my pistols. However I did win one medal for my shooting with it

Please tell me the medal was for shooting whoever came up with
"WattsUp".

Neat.
BTW, I really like their winged logo.
