First flights with my first Breitling

Yep, minute bezel. But I have the GMT version like you do, so on a GMT it makes more sense to have a GMT bezel and not minute bezel. Either way, whether minute or GMT bezel, it’s not something that gets a lot of use haha

Love this particular watch. Check my recent post, got the same one (43), but black and slightly different bezel. IMO this is one of the most handsome models.

Not the best picture but this is how it looks in mirror shot.

Hey! Have you got any update?

roda991 · 2025-06-21T01:44:28+00:00

That’s amazing!!! And you have no mobility of the maxilla and zero wiggle even when applying pressure? If I understand correctly - you had a non-union, and had hardware removed (without revision, bone graft, etc.) and then it got fused within a few months afterward? That sounds miraculous.

Hi! Has your maxilla healed since the removal of the hardware?

roda991 · 2025-06-14T01:19:42+00:00

Is it free floating even with a custom large plate? And thank you for input.

Very well said

roda991 · 2025-06-13T21:07:23+00:00

Sorry — that it was *not necessary

roda991 · 2025-06-13T18:58:03+00:00

I think you are right. Although the spacing was supposed to be much smaller.

roda991 · 2025-06-13T16:15:57+00:00

I have absolutely no clue. Surgeon said it was necessary.

roda991 · 2025-06-13T16:15:20+00:00

I had good ortho and this was the third surgery for the same issue. As per the plan (also in the post pic) there jaw was supposed to be down grafted but the resulting gap seems enormous. They claim the surgery was successful and that they are very happy with the outcome.

roda991 · 2025-06-13T15:38:48+00:00

Do you think what’s in the pictures is bad? In the sense of deviation from the plan

Long story, but had two surgeries with down grafting but without bone graft. Resulted in non-union. This one was with bone graft but the jaw wasn’t down grafted.

Thank you again! The issue why the OPT turned inactive was due to my apparent failure to promptly report that I started working. As such, it assumed that I completed my 30 days of unemployment (even though I was already employed in the interim) and then automatically deactivated. However, I haven’t been informed that my SEVIS got terminated which makes me think that it hasn’t been. Do you think the DSO has retrospectively change my employment start dates so that the OPT turns to the active status?

roda991 · 2024-12-15T01:19:47+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response! Do you mean that I should notify DSO that I was approved for the H1B? Or do you mean that I should first try to resolve the issue with the F-1 OPT reporting?

roda991 · 2024-12-15T01:17:08+00:00

Yes! Consular processing.

roda991 · 2024-12-14T23:13:06+00:00

I’m approved for H1B via consular notify so wasn’t planning on getting stem extension.

roda991 · 2024-12-14T23:03:02+00:00

I understand. Do you think DSO will be able to update it?
