We all know rolex.
Just curious as to peoples experiences on wearing Breitlings in the GENERAL PUBLIC.

I think it would benefit the forum and I if people would take this poll to see how breitling is noticed today in the GENERAL PUBLIC.

Places you can relate this to are going to the movies, games, shopping, everyday normal life.
Going to a watch store and getting comments or stares DO NOT count.

PLEASE PICK 1 OF EACH

Please be honest.

thanks, Ron

Apparently the ling looks like that POS BRAND THAT ADVERTISES ON TV ,AND MAKES A MILLION DIFFERENT WATCHES. THAT BRAND IS INVICTA ,AND I WISH THEY WOULD JUST GO BANKRUPT SO I CAN STOP HEARING IS THAT A INVICTA. THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS IS ALL IN CAPS , BECAUSE INVICTA MAKES ABSOLUTE TRASH,GARBAGE,JUNK. Can you pick up my hatred toward them? Sarcasm the spice of life!!!

If memory serves, the only 2 Breitling models that have commanded comments were the white dial Skyracer on ProII and both Steelfish.

I've gotten that query too. I've often wondered whether Breitling ever sued Incicta for for trade mark infringement.

I have googled Breitling suits vs Invicta ,and have never found anything that Breitling has ever sued. I wish they would sue them so they would be no more. Their designs are either way over the top , or complete ripoffs of other brands. There BB rating is D+ I believe.

Mostly I'm referring to the wing logo. That's what gets people to say - oooohh INVICTA!

I get a few looks but the only people who ever say anything are other Breitling lovers. When I owned my Bentley 6.75, it actually got a lot of looks and comments....one of the reasons I sold it actually.

The only watch that people ask me about is my Panerai.

I get some comments as well as some stares. Mostly they happen when I wear my Avenger because it looks large on my skinny wrists.
