I don’t like the new logo and it will make me reconsider purchasing a Breitling without the wings.
Wings or no wings. What a gig this Mr. George Kern has before him. Well, reigning in from the hometown of Warren Buffett I must say Mr. Kern has a sizable investment of his own money in this Breitling brand. Also, so does the man that was a part owner of Breitling prior to the sale. This guy thought so much of Breitling and Kern he reinvested his money from the sale (sisters did not) back into the company. That my friends is a platform for sucess.Indeed it is

It is my understanding the high end of each model will have wings. Why fix something that isn't broke? The chronomat high end sport model will have wings. An example would be a chronomat 44 GMT 2-tone.
I read that the Winged B logo would no longer be used on new models. I wasn't aware the high end of each mode will have the Winged B logo.

The smaller faced watch like the 38 is designed for an entirely new market, the one market Breitling has never been in prior to Kern, and that is China. Makes sense to me.
I agree and the 38 might be small enough to appeal to women as well.

And, I must say that the superocean is one beautiful watch.
It is!

Hey, I'm wondering how much a Breitling with wings will increase in price if they in fact do cease with the wings.
I'm wondering that as well.

To have a watch brand such as Tag having a better brand recognition then Breitling is nonsense.

Listen sports fans, we in the know, we are well aware of the heritage, the first Swiss watch with the 5 year warranty, the chronograph, the bracelet, the case back, the reflective crystal on both sides. COSC all movements including quartz. Yeah we know, but unfortunately a lot of watch buying people do not.
Their heritage is why I first got a Breitling. That and all of my family members who are aviators wear Breitling watches.

I also OK with cutting a few versions of watches. Sometimes less is more.
Exactly, if they're not selling, why keep them?

The citizens bad mouthing Breitling are the citizens comparing a Breitling to a Tag. A $1800.00 Tag to I suppose a colt quartz, I don't know for sure. But it does sound as such. Guys and gals, Breitling is producing watches with asking prices of $15,600.00 retail, which, can be purchased for 20% off from an AD. With tax, one is now in the neighborhood of $13,000.00 and change. This same watch, brand new can be purchased on the grey side for $8,350.00 and that includes the bank wire fee. Get rid of the grey side by making the Breitling brand priced fairly. Quality, quality, and quality. If this factor goes into the toilet, so does the brand.
Indeed, that might just eliminate the gray side of Breitling.
