My grandfather fairly recently gave me the same model watch as the original poster. I adore it.
It's a 1967 model, with the original box and paperwork. I absolutely treasure it. He wore it just about every day of his life. One day I hope to pass it on to someone in my family too.

Personally I do not adorn my self with bling, I leave that to the doormen, scaffolders, off shore workers and travelling tarmac drive layers.

I like my Breitling Aerospace for the clean lines, weight (75g) and ease of changing time-zones............
I like my Boschett Cavedweller for .................. (not sure what I like about it - it weighs 345g, but is built like a brick sh*thouse )

A nice watch, which should give years of enjoyment.
I sold one of my Rolex - an unworn Submariner, from 2012. Made £800 profit on it
If you are considering buying an expensive watch:
Rolex, Breitling, Omega, IWC, Patek (not the curry paste! ) etc.....
then consider buying at Amsterdam Airport. There are considerable savings to make, and there is no import duties or restrictions - to the UK.
Reckon on saving about 15% on some.
