After discussions here, I saw my AD some weeks ago, and asked about some of the better "Breitling Swag" that he had seen. I was told that it wasn't available for purchase, per se, but was all encompassed in BUSA's PR budget. He sent an email on my behalf, and lo and behold, I got a nice present from BUSA when the delivery man arrived today.

Wore mine on Monday - one of the few things that I actually wear as it is understated.

Lovely quality too as you would expect of Hermes.

I've wanted a Hermes tie for quite some time, and have just never been willing to come off of the cash for one. It's like an early Christmas.

I've heard of some uber-nice gifts that they've been known to give to big spenders, Breitling ambassadors, etc. Anyone know some of the other things? I've seen the Alpha Industries leather jackets :drool: ....and we know about the ball caps.

I'd love to have one of the aircrew name patches for my flightsuit in the yellow with the Breitling wings....

I have one in Blue with yellow B's. I love Hermes Ties and have several that I wear to work. Oddly, I wear the Breitling one the least often... I guess because I don't like to wear it out :)

Funny yet scary!! :lol:
I received the cap when i purchased my 6.75 and a small swiss army knife when I purchased my super avenger... Nice I think I would have like that bust of travolta though as this is my sons first halloween and that would have looked good painted up like the joker on my front lawn... :lol:

I typically don't like "logoed" stuff - shirts, caps, etc., but that is a sweet tie and especially being an Hermes - I'd wear it and think you should buy your AD a nice bottle of wine. That was really generous of them to pull that off.

And not to derail, but I got my hat and thought it was a cheap gesture. Pens, hats, coffee mugs, t-shirts are used-car dealer stuff. Either provide a "gift" worthy or the brand or don't bother - IMO, it just cheapens the brand.

I agree to a point, but even a crappy pen would make me feel more valued than the big bag of nothing I've had from Breitling UK

I agree.. all nice presents...for those lucky people... I have three Breitlings, all purchased from the UK, and have received nothing from Breitling UK.

I must say I am very disappointed to be made to feel second best to our American friends, as I have been loyal to Breitling, but I am considering going to Dark side and have started to look at IWC watches.. Anyone here have the IWC Spitfire?

It was nice while it lasted, but sorry Breitling UK, you have lost a loyal friend!
