Secured my first. Breitling Navitimer 41.8mm, silver dial, brown croco. umm umm. First real watch too. But I have a big time rookie question that despite years of being a horo spectator, still can't figure. Is our beloved pronounced Br-eye-tling or Br-eat-ling? Please help me live life correctly and proudly...as a new owner. |

100% brite-ling or bright-ling as mentioned above. If you watch any of the videos on the Breitling site its pronounced this way |

Good thing I read this, it prompted me to go to the website and watch the videos. I guess if you are going to own one, you better know how it's pronounced! |

It is correctly pronouced Bright-Ling, but many many many many people call it Brett-Ling, including owners. |

might just be my asian accent then  ...i guess it would sound something like "braytling", that would be more accurate. and breitling seems simple enough, imagine some of the other brands
