overlaid. Does this mean it came from South America

Is this a serious question? If so, then yes, all Breitlings are made in South America now. I've seen the odd Breitling I, but the quality out of India just hasn't been up to par so I don't think this will be be too common going forward. |

You know the entire world doesn't use English. S.A. is French for Societe Anonyme (sorry for the French speakers, no accents on my keyboard  ). It's the equivalent of Inc, Ltd, PLC, etc.

COSC certificates issued by Breitling are the same globally - the certificate is issued to the movement before it is cased up in Switzerland. |

And to you sir....No place do I say made in South America....I asked a simple question and you were simply an ASS... If you wish to act like one ...You have certainly met your match in me. I treat all people with respect until they show me otherwise.

I have to admit that i've always been vaguely curious about the S.A but never enough to ask or google it. So this thread has had its uses! |
