Three watches for sale inclusing a brand new Chronomat B01 for $4100. Never seen Breitling for sale on a site like this. Interesting.

Just saw it. Interesting. One of the comments noted in the discussion is:

"Should I have heard of these guys? At >$4K a watch, they must have some sort of reputation, but I just haven't heard of them.

Anyone else heard of them? Any watch history experts out there?

Honestly though, if I am going to spend 4-5K on a watch, I'll probably just go find a proper Tag Heuer."

Saw that comment too and had to laugh. I guess they are used to only seeing the likes of Invicta on woot.

Well the B01 sold out fast. All that's left is the Montbrilliant for $3700.

Now he edited his post:

EDIT: Ok, so apparently I should have heard of them. But to be honest I am not a fan of some of the things these are associated with. Bentlys don't win me over, Beckham has never interested me. The woot page mentions Bond, but I am pretty sure Bond is not most associated with this brand. Rolex and Omega are the Bond watch brands, and I recall a great cameo by Seiko. Apparently he did wear a Breitling.... in one movie, but you will have a hard time convincing me Bond is a Breitling man.
