Thought i'd post a few pics as an intro'::

This was my 1st 'Proper" watch bought in 1994 - A Tag Heuer Sports Elegance, just been serviced and polished up like new!
Bought a Baume & Mercier Capeland in 2000::
I Sold it then bought this Breitling M1 Chrono Avenger in 2003:

Sold that and bought a Breitling Crosswind in 2004:

Sold that in 2008 and bought the Breitling Montbrillant Datora::
Then finally, on 29th November 2010, I finally sold that and got the Holy Grail, which I will NEVER sell. a S/S Daytona::

The only 2 watches I now have are the Tag and the Rolex!

IHMO those Breitling watches are very ugly, the dial is too busy.Rolex has a clean smple look, even Daytona.

I see your point, but I do like them personally but the Rolex Daytona is the watch I've been after for years - Now i'm no longer a Breitling owner!
