I got 3 hats and The Bok twice before I started getting some pretty cool stuff. I gues a valet tray is ok, but wy snaps? Then again, why pink boxers or purple socks? Doesn'yt matter, I like "free" stuff.

Don't agree with the one comment about useless swag. They have a bunch of very cool swag. Even the hat - the first time anyway. When was the last time Breitling sent anyone in the UK a gift??? Which reminds me - still chocolates left!!!! :drool:

I'm pretty sure the snaps are just ornamental

Snaps/studs are probably for travel so that it can be transported flat packed in a case or a travel bag???

Nice though, I like it..

I don't remember what it is... If someone have access to the Breitling server could see what that gift is used for.
I have the copy of 2010 catalogue of gifts that my local AD gave to me at home. So I'll post later what exactly that is.

David, here in Argentina the owner of Breitling Dealer told me that they have to pay for those "gifts" to Breitling. So they are not free for them.
Maybe they don't have the hat and they don't want to buy more and that's why they told you to purchase it.

I actually just went to my ad yesterday to purchase the world and he had 3 hats sitting in the display case. Another guy on here from Canada told me that they gave him a hat on the spot when he picked his up.

That really sucks! As someone told you, they can't charge for what Breitling consider a free gift for customers.

I will never understand why people get so fired up about the swag. They pay thousands of dollars for a high end watch, then worry about whether or not they got a free hat, that unless they go to the Reno air races, they will NEVER EVER wear. :huh

I think we already figured it out. And you bash Ling Man for not reading people's posts?

The snaps are to hold up the sides.

I've seen plenty of valets with rigid sides that stay up just fine without snaps. If snaps are required to hold up the sides of the Breitling valet, I have to think it's by design, thus making the snaps essentially ornamental.
