True, but I haz the cba…
…been a busy day 
Yeah I’ve always wanted a world timer and this is probably my 2nd favourite behind the breitling galactic Unitime.
My Ulysse Nardin obsession still stands and I’m hoping to add another this year but this was such a good deal if I’m not a fan I can easily make my money back.
I’m sure I’ll like it though.

I just googled that.
You’ve already bought a much nicer watch IMO.

I just like breitlings I guess, the big plus of it is that the movement has a travellers gmt complication as well as the world time so it’s a great travelling companion.
Looks wise the tissot is more striking and elegant for sure.

Yeah, that’s a grim thing. The Tissot is much, much nicer.

Fuck, did you swerve a hooner of a watch or what ?

I am not a fan of diver’s watch bezels on non-diving watches.
I can cope with the tachymetric scale on a chrono but outside that the smaller the bezel the better to my eyes so I very much prefer this Breitling for that reason alone.

That’s probably my biggest worry with the tissot although the 12 hour bezel is there historically and for decent enough reasons.
I’m hopeful that I’ll one day be able to have both in my collection but I really have the want for a UN diver next so that’s my focus. If this hadn’t popped up with the potential to make a small profit if I decided I didn’t want it then I’d have probably passed on it.
There’s a McLaren, reg AYRTON (with a 7 in there somewhere, can’t remember exactly which letter) parks down the road from me.

So I phoned to arrange to go and have a look at this.
Twisty maze of phone menus, followed by it ringing out, then robot lady tells me “sorry, there is no reply” and disconnects me.
Nice sales technique guys 
There will be many setbacks on your quest.
Do not fail at the first hurdle, once you find your way out of the telephone maze, you will find a bridge where you have to answer three questions, if your heart is true you will find your way to the castle (AD Showroom) and you will need to find your way past the guard on the door.
Only then will you be able to enter the inner sanctum where you will have your final test.
If the guardian of the list deems you worthy, your name will be addded and in the fullness of time you may receive ‘the call’

With customer service that poor, they should consider branching-out into hifi retail…

Bonham’s Paris, 3rd Feb.
I don’t know which pictures are “before” and which are “after”
but at some point somebody has had an absolute shocker with those bezel screws.
11 o’ clock is particularly horrifying. I hope Bonham’s didn’t do this when they popped it open

Indeed. Some folk seem to have fallen for the myth that retailers are somehow doing you a favour.
Anyhow, no £5k* for these boyos.
* There was some death-defying Man Maths went into justifying the affordability, and that really boiled down to me “saving” money on other stuff where the retailers had pissed me off quite badly and I walked away.
