Therefore, to get into the mood and help plan your Christmas shopping, we will be taking a look at a couple of gift guides and wish lists.

The long awaited incoming!!
Hello TRF I hope that you all enjoyed the holidays. I've been back and forth with the decision to get a Chronomat 44 for quite some time now. Specifically the 30th Anniversary Edition Airborne. I finally came across me that I could not pass up. I do plan on getting the black canvas strap that has the red rubber from Breitling. Enjoy the photos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Beagle has landed
I can't believe no-one has used this topic title yet for their new Snoopy So when I saw today's Telegraph magazine cover it seemed like I should take some pics of mine Now the new Silver Snoopy interested me but I'm afraid I just can't like it. The overly busy dial, the gaudy, ott lume that looks like a chav/redneck Christmas tree and the lack of bracelet (interested to see one on bracelet though) aren't doing it for me at all sadly.It got me thinking though that I missed my original Snoopy and a quick search online turned up a full set unworn example with super low serial number which I quickly snapped up. Obviously the first thing to do with an unmarked 12 year old watch is wear it and scratch it up some which you'll be pleased to hear is exactly what i've done These things are meant to be worn as tool watches after all So, anyway, here's to the famous Beagle, 65 years old a couple of months ago and still looking cool as ever

Which 5960s Are Discontinued?
Thanks so much!

Finally received my Daytona C!
Had this beauty on reserve since July as it was located in South America and I wasn't going to be here until December. Wired a down- payment and was glad the AD honored their word in keeping it for me. Stopped by just now and picked it up. Couldn't be happier! Great way to start the new year.Now I just have to find the nerve to take the stickers off, size it and wear it. Have to say though, couldn't have been done without my wife (who is from around here) who could speak the language, and was able to make this happen.Happy New Year everyone!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
