and ordered the gold "45" nib that I lost from my Breitling Windrider Chronomat B13050....got it on a bracelet now, but I think I'll order a rich brown custom strap for it.  Here's an Internet pic of the watch!  I'll be wearing again soon!

I'm thinking I'll have to take my own....not to manu of these beauties around.  I think I got it back in '94 or so!

Here is actual picture of the watch.  Look closely; I was wearing in this photo taken in 2004...wife is wearing TT Cartier de Santos. automatic...

That's the way to do it. One of my colleagues wears the same model with a quartz UTC module on a bracelet. He's had it forever and had it serviced by Breitling and it looks brand spankin' new. I'm glad you'll be bringing this one back into your rotation.

 

And I didn't even comment on your most impressive moustache!!toon1.gif

I believe that 'stache was shaved off that Summer during a fishing trip to Alaska....after several hours of poker, we decided to go fishing again (we were staying at a lodge in Soldatna right on the Kenai River) and around 11PM (yes, it was still light out) I went in the bat room to splash some water on my face, decided the 'stache was way to gray and, after 30 years, had to go!

Needless to say, when I exited the bat room....there were some stunned looks and a few comments like "What the Frak did you do?"  subtlelaugh.gif

Ken, I think a rich brown strap would suit that watch just fine. Go for it.

Can't grow a mustache anymore...........too much salt and pepper would make me look weird toon1.gif.

Found "no mustache" picture taken after I shaved it off in Soldatna...standing on dock on the Kenai River holding 57 pound King Salmon...they had to take the shot fast as I could barely lift it (superman days were long gone)...subtlelaugh.gif

Hey Ken - beautiful photo!

I had a beard for most of my younger years (just 'cos I could) - then I discovered that the girls preferred me without and VOILA! gone in an instant. Gee we are shallow...   anyways - if we could all look as distinguished as you - we would be sitting pretty! I am a bit like BRP - too much grey for it to stay!

Back to the watch - thats a dead set, bonafide beauty - and fast becoming the all-time classic Breitling. Wear it in good health! I vote for the double-ridged brown Hirsch with the curved ends that hug to the case - in shark or alligator to complement the lines and the features of the watch face. But that stunner would look good on almost anything!

Cheers - IanM hand6.gif

Congrats Ken on a classic piece!

As for the "stache" I have had to start thinking about the gray in mine as well and I'm not nearly as "old" as you! subtlelaugh.gif

Great choice on the Breitling Ken!
I have a mustache story. i had befriended a cop over the years that works security at our minor baseball games. I saw him this spring and said you look different and he tells me when i was a young cop in Chicago i wanted to look older so i wanted a mustache now i am about to retire and all i want to do is look younger so off with the mustache! and i must say it took 10 years off his age. what did i learn from this story, i better grow a stache so i have some way to look younger in the future! ok end of story!
