New Addition To The Collection - Breitling Colt Automatic II
Been lusting over this watch for a while but haven't been able to find the right deal since the watch is now discontinued. Finally found a good deal and pulled the trigger. This is my first Breitling watch and i have to let you know i was pretty blown away when i got it. I mean the amount of details they put into these watches are pretty amazing. Just the dial itself is so detailed i love just starring at it. Love the crystal as well for two reasons. At certain angel it looks like the crystal is not even there so you get a clear view of the beautiful dial. At other angels the protective coating gives blue tone to the dial another beautiful feature i love about this watch. Love the bracelet as well, i always thought that angled links looked pretty awesome. The watch has pretty much high polish look everywhere which gives it that bling look without really being too blingly if that makes any sense to you guys.Enjoy the pic:

Tools of the trade - working in miniature
I guess like most TRF members I'm astounded by the skills and patience needed to design, make and repair PP movements. I've always loved working on first push bikes, then later motorbikes and finally cars and to this day still treasure my Snap-On toolbox and tools.But there us something about the size of the parts in a mechanical watch that astounds me - parts are so small that they are barely visible even through a glass and the care needed at every stage is simply beyond anything I can imagine ever being able to undertake.Simple strap and bracelet changes/adjustments are about my limit (and then not on my PP's). Even then the tools needed are miniature.Interested to hear the level other TRF's have gone to to learn more - perhaps even working on their own pieces and the specialist tools they use?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not the most popular dial choice but it��s beautiful!
