Breitlings were what I lusted after, too. But back when I was an impoverished student I bought a significantly cheaper brand of chronograph-like watch. It was handy for timing laps at the (motorsports) track. Of course it was replaced a decade or two later by a push-button electronic stopwatch that could do far more different functions (including converting lap time to MPH) and which cost maybe $20. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
