I had the good fortune of having my SA on when I took my car to Car-X for an oil change. The service advisor immediately said, "nice watch!" rather enthusiastically. Turns out he is a watch-nut and new a little about Breitling, Omega, and Tag, (which he had on) and we had a nice little conversation.
I left the car and came back a few hours later to pick it up. Across the bill was written "complimentary" with $0 due. There was also a business card stapled to it for another "free oil change."


Nice business move actually. On a personal note that is a great story.

First trip with my new Wolf and the Captain asks if he can take a look at my watch, so he takes off his Rolex GMT and puts my Breitling on. He asks me all about it and loved the turbine caseback, I let him know about all the great features!

A couple of days later on my second trip we had two jumpseaters with us, I was busy flying, but I heard over my shoulder one jumpseater say to the other, "hey that dude's got a Breitling, sweet watch!"

And just last week another Captain says to me, "what that thing cost?"

Since my watch is on my left wrist it gets noticed alot by the guys sitting in the left seat especially when my hands are on the thrust levers and the flight control panel. I love it when they drool! :drool:

I am still surprised (and flattered) when people compliment me about my Breitling because it is totally unsolicited and it happens pretty often and in pretty different environments.

I have a lot of watches but the only one that I get compliments on from complete strangers is my Super Avenger Blacksteel.
