The Breitling Watch Source Forums

hello
i was at my breitling ad toady because i wanted to fresh up my collections a bit.
i was looking at breitling while the sells man offered me a raymond weil nabucco gmt witch is really nice.
i never had raymond weil.the question is if they have quality watches?
is it same level as breitling?
should i give it a try or i will stick to breitling brand?

Hi!

I really do not know the watch that your talking about and it may be a nice watch aesthetically, it can not be compared to a Breitling - period.

Breitling is in a totally different class of watches all together! Ultimately, you must ask yourself if you really like the watch or not, if you do then who cares. However, if you have your heart set on a Breitling then hold out until either the right one comes or your budget allows a purchase; in other words do not compromise - put your hard earned money towards the item that well bring you joy and satisfaction for years to come.

Just remember this - When One Compromises, One Never Ends Up With More - Always Less!


Best Regards,

Enezdez

the thing is that the reymond weil costs like a breitling!
the watch im talking about sells for 1700$ after discount.i can buy a nice breitling with this money so i wonder if the price reflect the quality...

NOOOOOOOOOO! IMHO

Buy The Breitling If That's What You Really Want! (It kinda does or you would of bought the Raymond Weil)

Cheers,

There is no comparison in quality between Raymond Weil and Breitling.

My Wife bought me a RW Tango Sport a couple of years ago. The printing on the dial was illegible and the actual movement/dial was not square in the case.

Raymond Weil are nice Swiss watches but don't have the same cachet as Breitling/Rolex/Omega. Not in the UK anyway. You see them in a lot of high street jewelers but I would put them the tier below. I have one of their quartz watches which I got in a half price sale. At that price it is good value. The bracelet is very nice and it is a good looking watch. But it is not a Breitling. Big impressive box.

I had a RW tango a few years back, which i got a really good deal on (something like 60% off MRSP). Decent quality, nice bracelet, but it was a pretty standard ETA quartz. For the price i got it for, i think it was good value, but not if its anything near full retail. I have no experience with their automatic models however.

im talking about this model:
anyone knows anything about it?
should i go for breitling avenger instead?

I'm not a big Super Avenger fan, but I like the SA better. This watch looks like it's trying to be a Sinn U1, which I also like better.

I was offered a Nabucco at dealer cost and turned it down - they're still too expensive at that price. They aren't bad watches, but way, way over priced and nowhere close to the quality of Breitling.

Definitely the Avenger, it will hold it's value better.

It's like comparing a Honda to a Mercedes. Breitling all the way without thinking twice.

I use a Raymond Weil all gold Tango as a dress watch.....MOP dial and a decent bracelet......but even at £700 it is overpriced for the standard its supposed to be ....compared with my SA its a no contest.....i have to be careful when wearing it as the two release buttons on the clasp open the bracelet every time i bend my wrists........a dealer return made no difference they bent the locating pins to make it good .......a waste of time...........if its a RW or SA there is only one choice..
