Post subject:  dial text local to market? (English/French...)

hello.

Curious if Breitling (4B in this case) dial text chosen is English in some markets and French in others?

If we have a look at one sold in the American market here:

or another in video, here:

The dial text is clearly "Certified Chronometer", i.e., English.

However, the promo clip here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8f93D0QkT8

has the dial text in French, "Certifie Chronometre" (throughout; a great shot is at 1:39).

The B4B website (breitlingforbentley.com) is wildly inconsistent, some images and video media have dial text in English, others French.

I suppose "Breitling pour Bentley" is not used as it would clutter the branding.

But not so with dial text.

Any discernible method to their madness?

Curious,

Rob.

Changes are only year to year as far as I know except for models with day wheels. Not sure on the calibre 19 / 29 pieces that have day and month on the dial itself.
