Got my favorite, the 88 back on a MP2 in tan. Loving the vintage strap with the modern watch. HAGWE everyone, what are you sporting?

No shorts to work, tosser....but funnily enough, I am wearing them right now even as I type this message.

I'm ending my week with this......



I'm speding a lot of time out on the shop floor getting my new production line up and running, and since it's thermal treatment of steel we are talking about, there is carbon dust everywhere out there - not good for watches on straps, so have the beater on quite a bit lately.......

Old pic, but I'm wearing the same shirt as well!

The Breitling will probably carry me through the weekend, as we are not doing anything special this weekend and then most likely next week it will be back to the GMT.

Thanks - JJ

Thanks, Paul. I am enjoying it, but it will never replace the GMT as the primo watch in my collection.

I hear ya Ed, but I can't get over how much I like that watch. I have seen them in pics and only once in person. But the white dial is super.
