Big Incoming Week: After a long absence from watches
I took a long break away from watches, sold my collection and only kept an IWC petit prince. Had to be done.

Just got back into the game and got myself and my wife a little something...! I also snuck in another watch to support my Flying hobby. The wife also had to get something so....

Great choice. Love the YM2. Breitling looks to be a great choice for that “black watch” every guy needs in the collection.

That's quite an entrance after a long Absinthe.
