The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Ok folks, it's that time of year again and time to go over your list of who's been naughty and nice. Who and what type of Ling are you going to give as Christmas gifts this year?

I've decided it's going to be a "Timely" Christmas for my family members this year and I'm giving watches as gifts all around. Below is my list:

Son - BREITLING, MENS COLT OCEAN, S/STEEL AUTOMATIC II
Brother in Law - Breitling Colt Watch A74350
Daughter - BREITLING CALLISTINO LADY SPORT DIVING WATCH
Sister - MOVADO DELPHINO
Daughter in Law - Movado Trembrili
Mom - Undecided, but she is probably the only one not to get a watch since she's really not into them

Nice thing is I've already done all my shopping and don't have to scramble...except for my grand daughter and my Mom....sure feels good to be done early for once.

WTF? Thank God I only have one child. I may send a lump of coal to my ex - all it takes is time and pressure to make it a diamond. She's good at both.

Naughty or nice? Depends who you ask.

Wow... well I must say the response I've seen was not what I expected. I reckon I should mention I did not buy the Lings new...I did buy them pre-owned and with all the appropriate packaging/paperwork/booklets/certs of authenticity and in minty condition.....still not cheap by any means, but not the cost of new either.

Great job.

Well.... I've picked up two new Breitlings in the past couple weeks for myself . The second is to be delivered today in fact - waiting for FedEx as I type.

Would love to buy my wife a B for X-mas but she just isn't into high end watches (lucky me!), ha!
So, good thing they're arriving well before X-mas so I can still get an additional one for the Holiday - isn't that how it works? I better be nice!

Congratulations on your generous gifts - I'm sure they will be appreciated and enjoyed for a long time!

My gift to myself probably won't be a Breitling, but I am picking up another watch. I still have no idea what it'll be though which is driving me crazy.

Wifey will be having a new incoming - and it won't be a PAM 243 - she's changed her mind.

DOn't know about me yet, but as the accountant insists that I reconcile business and personal money by year end there's usually a bit floating around

That is an impressive list! I'm sure they will be appreciated long after they are recieved.

As for me, I'm 3200 miles from family this year, so I won't have to buy anything.

Maybe I will send the wife some maternity clothes or something practical

Gosh, Montexn, you are a very lovely relative! I hope they all enjoy their purchases and are appropriately grateful. I also hope you saved some $$$ to buy yourself something nice, or that you get lovely gifts in return!

I already got my Christmas present; a Starliner (my first Breitling). I don't think I'll be in a position to purchase a Ling for a present for anyone else for a couple of years, though...

Does your choice to give Breitlings to some and Movados to others represent your opinion of the individuals, or their opinions of the brands?
