The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Has anyone heard of this company? I am going to buy one of their pilot watches as its pretty awesome and priced well.

Well known brand, now owned by Frederique Constant as their sportier brand so a good pedigree and great value for money.

I was investigating one of their divers a while back, seemed like a good value. The local AD dropped/lost them and I never got to see them in the metal .

I was just about to ask if you guys know where to purchase them from? I found some on amazon an overstock.

Not sure where you are located, but they do list their AD network on their website.

It is not totally accurate as I mentioned earlier one of them listed in my area is no longer an AD.
Good luck!

Yea my state doesn't have one. I might just call and order from a different state and get it shipped, probably no tax that way either. The only other solution is amazon or overstock. kinda sucks since I wanted to try it on.

I might add that they're having a good cooperation with Alpina cars. During the last Geneva Motor Show they had several exposed on their booth, mainly from the racing and club ranges.

Because they pride themselves on being extremely good value. Nothing odd about that, just not very common in the Swiss watch industry.

No doubt, a buddy of mine has one of their dive watches. All I can say is WOW!!! She is one awesome watch!

Make sure theyll let you send it back if you dont like it. A good dealer should allow that as long as it hasnt been worn.
