I'm sure there are molded (formed, whatever) valets out there, and I know for a fact, there are ones that have relief-ed edges that flex, making some way to pinch the corners essential. And I am sure if you soaked this one in water, snapped the buttons, laid it out in the sun for a day, and unsnapped the buttons it'd stay rigid just fine. But, given the scores along the edges between the sides and the bottom, I am banking on the fact that the buttons secure the sides up.

Now someone kick my ass for actually having this conversation. That's it, I'm done for the day.

I guess instead of, "why snaps?" the better question would be, "why did Breitling choose a design that required snaps?" I don't dispute that, given the design, the snaps perform a function. All I'm saying is there are designs that obviate the need for such a function, and given that Breitling still chose this design, I would say the consideration is primarily one of aesthetics.

Consider your ass kicked. See you tomorrow.

It was said earlier in the thread, that the snaps are most likely there so the tray can be folded flat for travel... I was going to say it but I was beaten to the punch.

I got my SA over a month ago and didn't get anything haha

Hmm...does that mean I have to remove a notch from my 'asses kicked' belt?

Did you fill out the card that came with your Sa? Unless you did chances are they have no Idea you bought it. It took me a month to get my hat when I bought my Sa

46crew did it come delivered "flat" and you "snapped" it together to display it?

A Few Breitlings.

You don't have to modify your belt... just be careful when you give advice in a thread about a thread, maybe you should be taking it as well!

Ok, I'm done ball busting for the day

breanach78, it came already snapped together in a box. I guessed it was some sort of tray, but hadn't seen one pop before in any discussions.

Point taken. However, I do think there is a difference between me overlooking one person's speculation in a long thread as to the purpose of the snaps and Duck's evident neglect in reading the thread as a whole before responding to the OP's question.

Maybe I don't speak english as well as you do because I live in argentina and my language is spanish.
BTW, the item is Ref number JZ300750.10: Leather tidy-tray dark brown.

Agreed, and I like to bust chops

You clearly read and write English well enough to have been able to see the OP's question had been answered by the time you posted in the thread. Your post indicated you hadn't read any of the posts prior to contributing to the thread. It happens sometimes, but the fact you were bashing Ling Man for not reading anyone's posts (not just yours) is ironic. That was my only point.
