Post subject:  The Great One!!

I received a call last Thursday from BUSA asking if I would like to come to the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston, (I am from the area), to have breakfast with :bow: Wayne Gretzky! I thought the call was shady at first but it turned out to be the real deal. So yesterday I had breakfast with Wayne Gretzky and for and added bonus....Michelle Kwan. The president of BUSA and colleagues attended the breakfast as well. I am extremely impressed with the people from BUSA and their down to earth mentality and appreciation to their customers. Wayne and Michelle were fantastic and very down to earth as well...outstanding people!! Obviously there's a lot more to talk about but won't get into detail cause this thread would end up being many pages long. I wanted to comment on how impressive it is for the BUSA president and her colleagues to take the time to meet customers, that speaks volumes of Breitling as a company!!!! :lingsrock:

Wayne was wearing a solid gold cockpit, President BUSA solid gold 125 anniversary navi and the rest of the BUSA colleagues were wearing new B01, some with diamonds some without, all of the B01 had the new rubber strap. They gave us the Breitling book which is very nice, a hockey stick and picture which Wayne signed for us. Obviously free meal and valet parking. Wayne wass in town for a fundraiser the previous day in which Breitling was at. It was never really established as to why a few of us were invited. I guess it's the first time Breitling has done something like this for their customers. Incredible day!!

C'mon man..... banned.... WOW!!! A guy can't get an invitation from a prestigious watch company and rub elbows with a couple of famous people anymore! Tough crowd!! :cigar: HA HA HA! I guess the bar has been raised a bit. I'm sure Breitling will do something like this again in the future because it was a success. Maybe I'll get invited to Switzerland next!!! Ha HA!!

That's why I'll keep buying, using and abusing Bs'. Not only for being an excellent watch, but the treatment to people. Something that I don't see in other brands.
:lingsrock:
Here in Argentina they got a Mark VI complications 29 Rose Gold, and they ask me if I would like to see personally.They know that I can't buy it.
So I said... when you return from baselworld with my montbrillant olympus...
:cheer:

OK GZGYM, I don't want to be banned :D but I to have had many Gretzky contacts in the past. He is a very nice guy along with his parents (his mom past a fews years back). I helped work on couple of Gretzky books and had several collector items in his books. I have been to his parents home several times in Brantford (real down to earth). I used to always see him in Chicago when the Kings were in town and got special pemission to go down to the locker room before, during and after the games. Gretzky and all the NHL guys our great, always giving stuff to my kids when they came with me. His father Walter is a great man as well and when I would head up to Toronto I would stop by the house for a couple cups of tea and many hours of hockey talk. Years back Beckett Hockey they did a story on my collection and had it in a special edition for Gretzky. He is all class and so is his family.
