Well it's birthday time again I swear they seem to come round more frequently then they ever used to do, which led me to think I now have probably more birthdays to look back on than look forward to, in a nut shell time is running out.

With this in mind I thought sod it and decided to go out and treat myself, the my present to myself is in this box.

Happy Birthday then. How long before you tell all. ?

Very good timing

Chris.

not long I'm rubbish at keeping secrets

here's the box within the box

Is it a watch ?

Is it a birthday cake.

Happy birthday . Is it a hand bag !

The box is a give away, it's a jumbo jet.

right first time, it kind of funny really when you start thinking about how old you are or when you retire you get a watch, so you can watch the rest of your life tick (or in this case) sweep away.

And within the inner box is ? Well another box but instead of cardboard this one is bakelite.

I know Breitling very well, nice village. No I''m not mad Jack Fuller. By the way if you become friends with an Iranian airline pilot they sell they Breitling watches off cheap to supplement their poor income or something. Mate of mine done that years ago.

i cheated, i went into the photobucket link and looked at all the photos to see the final picture of the watch.... nice I like watches too, ones with gears that you wind up

I feel cheated now, I had a picture of another box all lined up to maintain the suspense here it is anway




and finaly the watch itself (sorry for the poor phone pic)


It's a Breitling Super Ocean 44 and I agree I like the thought of all those gears and cogs whirring about inside, you don't need to wind this one up it's automatic or self winding just moving it around keeps it wound, if you take it off and leave it a couple of days it will stop and need resetting.
