Not sure who is running this forum? It’s always been a great source of info. Seems like new accounts are not being approved going back for 2 or 3 years now. Such a shame now that Breitling has really powered on recently. |

a combination of a few things has slowed places like this to a crawl: 1. breitlings new direction is catnip to many (esp me) but equally others that were massive fans of the 2000 to 2017 Breitling are hating it - too soft, too "fashionable", etc. as a result of lot of the old guard on forums like this have drifted away (similar on watchuseek - the few guys there are all just pining for the return of john travolta and breitling for bentleys) 2. overall fora are just not the cool place anymore - facebook kinda does enough for most people so they hang out there more (it doesnt do as much or as well but that doesnt matter so much) cant speak for the admins but personally I check in occasionally hoping to see some life and would like to see it continue so.... hey, welcome.

Surprised how some forums are still so active while other large communities fizzle up and die. Breitling has stepped away from design language that was really popular. The new chronomat bracelet looks like a gas station hot dog roller. They finally upgraded the clasp on the Superocean, and I'm stuck with two stamped clasps with no micro adjust that really, REALLY should've been there at the price point. The avengers and skylands too big too small... 40/42mm on a bracelet- how hard is this? Bracelet.. updated proII design with a microadjust and taper. That would be a fantastic design choice. Between being a watchmaker and these type of ideas I should be working for one of these brands not talking into the void. |
