Waiting Tips for that first Breitling?! **Got the Pics!**

[brian3b]

**SEE PICS ON PAGE 2**

Fellow Breitlingers,
I've been collecting watches for a few years now, and my last purchase was 2.5 years ago (Omega Seamaster GMT). I acquired the itch recently and fell in love with the Breitling Bentley Motors T. I've always wanted a Breitling, but promised myself I wouldn't get one of the basic models just to satisfy that desire - that I would wait until I could afford one of the bad SOBs.

Anyways, I just had to tell someone (who actually cares) so I figured I'd post and tell everyone on the forum! I got the Motors T, Steel (case and band), anthracite (grey) dial.

It won't arrive til Tuesday, so what do I do in the mean time!? Any suggestions from those out there accustomed to waiting for eternity!? I made the order on Tuesday and I'm dying to get it all ready! Thanks!

Hi, Brian and welcome aboard. Congratulations on the acquisition and wear it in good health! :-! While you're waiting, try contemplating one of two things... either your navel, or, wait for it..... The fact that pics are MANDATORY upon arrival! ;-) :-d
Cheers,
Ron

Just pick up a drug habit. Alternatively, you can browse the forums to get your B fix. (By the way, by buying your first B, you inadvertently did pick up a new drug habit) :-!

[brian3b]

GREAT NEWS!! it came in early, so it's shipping TODAY!! I'm having them overnight it, I'll have it tomorrow!! Thanks for all of the suggestions, but looks like I'll only have to use them for less than a day!!

BTW RJRJRJ, I used your advice about getting the Breitling from the AD with 30% off! Thank you VERY MUCH for the info! Worked out perfectly!

Phil,
I would have thanked you too if I knew you were looking at this thread - I didn't see you until your post though! So thank you too! DK was a pleasure to work with... I talked to him yesterday and he said, "We just got a bunch of Tag Heuers in, I'm sure yours is one of them."

I quickly replied, "I didn't order a Tag!"

We got it squared away - he said he's been pretty busy and gets them all confused! Definitely understandable - as long as they don't get the watches confused and send me a Tag! (not that there's anything wrong with Tags, but I all ready have one and would much rather have my Motors T).

Oh, it should be here by 11:00am EST... 2 hrs, 26 mins.

[brian3b]

Well I got it!! I'm at work and tried taking a picture, but while the iPhone is the greatest demonstration of technology we've seen to date (with respect to computer phones), the camera isn't worth a damn. It won't focus on the watch, so it's blurry as heck. Will post some pics this evening once I get home.

[Cinq]

I suggest you look for documents about the history of the brands (Breitling and Bentley). Drooling over pictures is also nice and maybe get a bit of Vitamin B :-d

Good point. I saw some TV program about the history of bentley and it is very interesting for sure!

Any time...but youve only got about 24 hrs...looks like rain is on its way :-|

[Cinq]

Hi RJ,Good point. I saw some TV program about the history of bentley and it is very interesting for sure!
The racing drivers from the Bentleys were called the Bentley Boys. A few years ago I visited a jewelry and watch event that my AD had organized and he wanted to take this pic from me and a good friend of mine. He called us the Breitling Boys :-!

Congratulations! What a stunning piece! I don't know the Bentley line too well but looking at your pictures I see you have a 30 second chrono hand on it! I would love to see that one in action :-!

Enjoy your lovely watch and wear it in good health.
