| Post subject: | Breitling Outlet? |
I saw a post about a Breitling outlet over on watchuseek and didn't believe it. Then I checked the website for the mall that was listed and sure enough, they list Breitling as opening in November. Here is a link to the mall's website, you have to scroll down to see Breitling listed. http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/s ... g.asp?id=7 What does everyone else think about Breitling opening an outlet store? I understand they may need to move some older product, but I'm not sure an outlet store is the answer. |

I think it cheapens the brand. |

Vey odd - a last gasp attempt to shift the Flying Bs  The main Canadian AD has an outlet store under a different name and has a few Breitlings in there along with other brands, but that's very different from a Breitling sponsored outlet. Don't get that at all. |

And if you were going to open an outlet, you would probably call it a boutique anyway! |

I don't think it sends the right brand image, even if it is a boutique. |

right now they dump the older merchandise to dealers at a heavy discount, lots of that merch ends up on jomashop, ashford and other discount sites, this way the brand can control the online inventory, limit the discounting and control the product. i think its a good idea. and i have heard from the top of the top face to face its an outlet. breitling is cracking down on discounting and doing their best to maintain the brand integrity and keep it as tightly prices as cartier, rolex and other to tier brands they feel they are on the level with. this is one setp towards that |

The outlet is true... It gives Breitling the ability to take back discontinued product from their dealers and sell it in a controlled Breitling environment. I'm told discounts will be 20 TO 30%. This will hopefully help the cash flow of the dealers by freeing up dollars to purchase the new required Top Range... It should also help to discourage dealers from dumping product on the gray market... We shall see.
