OH MY, so can I hope to receive a book since I purchased a Navi 01. (Fingers crossed!)


Just as long as you're not in England!

Mind you, I did get something free when I bought my Navitimer 01.....................................

Grief and inconvenience!

I can't see me ever buying another Breitling again.

FEAR's post should have said "Comes with any 01 movement watch in the USA otherwise you get jack"

Yup, the only time you get anything here is when something has gone wrong, seriously wrong!

I've had a chance to evaluate my choice in watch brands and I have to say the chances of me ever buying another Breitling are pretty bloody slim.

So much so in fact I'm in two minds to get rid of that bloody Navitimer Caliber 0.025 and buy another brand.............................

:evil:

Let's just hope that it and my recently overhauled Vintage Navitimer (at a cost of over £1,100) come back fixed, because if they don't.......................................

Stef


Then, I guess that I must be glad that nothing is wrong with my B01...so far. :wink: I have enough caps already.

Well according to a UK sales rep up North, the merchandise reward system doesn't exist in the USA and certainly the quality of merchandise reward you get doesn't get better the more you spend, so according to this UK rep, our American friends must be lying.

:lol:

But then, what would he know? He's just a salesman for a product that doesn't actually need selling. I think I'd hold him at the same level as a car salesman, someone I've never made use of but is generally a minor irritation in the buying process.

So, UK sales reps, get over yourselves, you are reps for a company that holds the right to sell Breitling in the UK, a bit like a salesman in a Vauxhall car dealership claiming they actually work for Vauxhall................................... :roll:

Stef

(Your ever so grumpy Breitling customer who 'should be glad he got a faulty watch at a discount price', apparently)

I've gotten hats, then a nice, large carry-all bag, a backpack, a polo shirt, t-shirts (two) and a flight jacket (heavy, nicely made, but nylon, not leather)

Guess I've bought too many!

Not sure what comes after the flight jacket-- ??

Wahoo! "The Book" arrived in the mail yesterday! Its a really nice book and will be the subject of hours of reading.

Sure glad BUSA rewards the US purchases. Sorry for you chaps in the UK.

Don't feel too bad. A small group of us did get a copy of "The Book" here in the UK.

It was sent to us by Breitling Switzerland.

But it's nice to see BUSA rewards US purchasers because according to a BUK Sales Rep, Breitling doesn't do that anywhere!

It's such a cool book though isn't it?

Stef

I got a copy of The Book with my first Chronomat B01 purchase in mid-2009. It would be great if a got another copy with my Navi 01 . . .

Unfortunately, I think they must keep tabs on who has received a copy already, as there was a Breitling hat waiting for me when I got home last night, but no sign of The Book.

I guess Breitling is not keeping tabs on who's previously received a copy of The Book. My second free copy arrived yesterday . . .

I'm pretty sure it will be up on the sale forum soon.

I never bought a b01 powered watch, yet I got another book in the mail yesterday too. And and hand signed note from Marie thanking be for my purchase of a rose gold 676. That's a new one for me.

I've given up on Marie. :cry: Evidently her moles who lurk and spy haven't told her of my campaign.

Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my Marie for a Reno term as your BS representative. (though I DO plan to bomb the crap out of Hanoi and Cambodia!)

I remember your posts! But I'm still bombing Cambodia and Hanoi. Enough is enough.
