Thread: Italian engineering

I feel I'm being left out of all this hi-tech instrumentation.

Well beat this, whilst on a visit to Santorini, sipping Pina Colada's around the pool, a watch on a young doctor's wrist, caught my attention. It's a Breil. Wow, I was transfixed.

Stainless steel case and band, vivid blue numbering on a satin chrome face.

It took me months to track Breil down, and to cut a long story short, bought one from The British Watch Company. Cost a small fortune.

I took it to the jewelers to have a couple of links taken out. "What do you reckon?"

His reply, "not much". What would he know.

6 months later, the numbering fell off the face. He was right, I got sucked right in.

"Don't touch my Breil" How true is their catch cry.
