The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Popped over to Stratford on the way home from work today and was suprised to see a Breitling Boutique (joint onto Ernest Jones).

It was quite small, but their collection was quite extensive.
I was drooling over all the lings, they all look so much better in the flesh than they do in the pictures.
I even warmed to the Red Strike, it does actually look nice in the flesh.
Chronomat GMT looked stunning, as did the Bentley Barnato.

Shame they don't discount... otherwise I may well have walked out with something.
I really wanted the Barnato, but no discount at £7,650 on leather tang but with a few golf balls thrown in.

Anyone else been to the boutique?

I wasn't at that location but I was in NYC yesterday and check out the Breitling Store there. They had every model in nearly every configuration. They even had a few limited editions specifically for that store. It was fantastic, I was there for a solid hour and a half. I agree, watches look many times better in person than they do in pictures. They need to open more of these and make their prices more competitive. I almost walked out of there with a SuperOcean heritage chrono with a mesh bracelet. I didnt even like this watch or bracelet until I saw them in person.

I own a satin Red Strike... Wouldn't have bought it if I didn't see it in pereson.
