My father despite being fascinated with all kinda of mechanical devices and collecting everything from Lionel trains, real train cars, arcade games, nickelodeons, jukeboxes, slot machines etc etc (If you have not seen my business check my post My Daily Madness here) he was never really into watches but he did purchase a beautiful AP Skeleton in Paris at the boutique in the early 60's and a 60's Breitling Navitimer (which I have). Anyway here are a couple pics, its not worth a ton but its just special to me and its fascinating to look at.
I consider it unique and I hope you do!
Yes, I need to start taking better pics LOL

Thank you, I wore it when I proposed to my wife.
While walking to our car the spring bar snapped and for some weird reason my fingers were folded up but not clenched and it fell right into my hands not hitting the ground... It was WEIRD LOL!
I was VERY happy and shocked at the same time.
I only wear it once or twice a year if that much but I would never sell it.
Both that and the Breitling he gave me to me will go to my son along with the Hulk sub I bought my son the day he was born, dated his day of birth and in his name which is still sitting new in the coffin waiting for him someday!

Thank you! Odds are that kid will end up with a lot of watches he will sell but there are 4 which I hope will be truly special to him, this and the Breitling I mentioned being two of them!
