The Breitling Watch Source Forums

So I bought a Super Avenger about a month ago. When I got home today I got this "thing" from Breitling. I have no idea what the hell it is..... Look I love the Breitling swag as much as the next guy, (except for the pink boxers) but I think I'd rather have another hat.... Any help in identifying this object is appreciated.

Description: It's leather, has snaps in the corners...and uh....that's about it.

Pretty sure msa6712 is on the money with the change tray idea. I've seen a few of these from Hermes while trawling the main store in Paris, and just be thankful you didn't have to pay them for one.

I used to have something similar on my nightstand that I would throw my wallet and wedding ring each night.

That's pretty much what my first thought was - a change or watch tray. Seeing how I keep my watches in the winder, I'll be different and give it a go.

I got 3 hats and The Bok twice before I started getting some pretty cool stuff. I gues a valet tray is ok, but wy snaps? Then again, why pink boxers or purple socks? Doesn'yt matter, I like "free" stuff.

Don't agree with the one comment about useless swag. They have a bunch of very cool swag. Even the hat - the first time anyway. When was the last time any other major brand sent anyone a gift??? Which reminds me - still chocolates left!!!!

Yeah, I guess it is kinda cool, and I would never complain about a gift. I just wasn't sure what it exactly was, and knew you guys would have the answer. Here's it is getting some use.

The hats are useless because they don't fit a normal persons head,, Pink Boxers, " I don't need to say anything" Breitling socks? " odd swag" The valet tray , pretty useless to throw a wallet in or change. They need to just stick with shirts,pens,ashtrays,jackets,books,ties. The gesture of the gift is great , but they need to focus on simplicity.

I actually think this is one of the better gifts. Most of its interesting but useless. This thing can be put to good use by just about anybody. Ive got pens, hats, knives and dont use any of them.

Hard to believe people didn't know what this is used for.

It's far from "useless". Much better than a hat.

How many people actually wear their Breitling hats?

I'd be thrilled if that was what Breitling had sent to me. The hat is OK, except (1) it's not fitted, and (2) I shave my head, and the back side of the embroidered logo is knobby and actually hurts my scalp. But that valet is sweet - very classy. I'm pretty sure the snaps are just ornamental, adding a touch of visual interest.
