My revamped Chrono Shark (I sent it in a travel case) or swag I'm owed. As of yesterday the Shark was in QC for final testing with shipping possible later this week. But my AD has been bugging the BUSA rep to get on the Swag dept. too. BUSA hasn't charged the repairs to me yet on the Chrono Shark.

Guess I'll know on the expected delivery date - Valentine's Day. How appropriate. :lovesloves: ( :nono: no pink underwear, no pink underwear, no.....)

If it is swag, I'm betting a T-shirt. If it's my watch, I'm a bit disappointed it's shipped ground.

Maybe it's the rotor to your grounded Breitling Plane. A few more lings and they're gonna send you your very own Breitling Jet Pack so you can fly across the Grand Canyon.

Problem is - I can't think of a current production model I want now. :cry:

Just wait about 6 weeks, your thoughts may change after the new releases.

Regarding the pink underwear: is it One Size Fits All (ala baseball cap)? Presuming that someone actually did wear the pink shorts - they are shorts aren't they - you'd have to be quite lucky for them to be the right size?? It could have disastrous consequences in the bedroom/hotelroom if you dropped your trousers to reveal a pair of ill-fitting underclangers adorned with the Instruments for Professionals motif?

jus' sayin...... of course, it could just be an expression of humour by Breitling, but somehow I think not.

And the answer is ..... swag. Just got a VM from BUSA they are sending the Chrono Shark today and I will have it Friday. :)

Just as an aside, I sometimes hear on this board the frustration folks have getting info or updates from BUSA on repairs/maintenance. Here's the deal - BUSA assigns an "After Sales Service, Regional Coordinator" to each watch that enters Hanger 7. Find out which rep is overseeing your repair. Communicate by email early, pleasantly, and every 3-4 weeks. Let them know you are a Breitling fan and regular contributor on a Breitling Forum. Without fail I have received updates via email or phone call the same day. If you just cold call BUSA, no one knows anything. Granted, maybe some Reps are better than others (I've been fortunate to be working with an excellent rep - Lissette. BUSA if you are monitoring this site today, giver her a raise!!!!), but these are the ONLY people with ready access to your status info. And there is only one per work order assigned and whose job is to facillitate paperwork and payment AND keep you as happy as possible.

That's kinda the way I felt when I got an umbrella...........and I live in SoCal. :? I got a nice duffle after I got my Chronomat 01 LE, and now I'm hoping for something nice for my Chronomat GMT. Chocolates perhaps? :twisted:

Actually once I got home to see it, I was surprised - medium brown on one side, tan on the other, large and rather thick cahsmere, very subtle Breitling insginias.

And a PM offer buying it before I even saw it! Don't ask, it's sold.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
