You might want to compare this with the IWC "hot babe" post in the "Gallery" section of the forum. This is in PDF format so be sure to have Adobe's "Acrobat Reader" installed on your system to read the article. :wink:
Best,
Ron

Great to see you as ever dron.

The article is well crafted, however it made me rather sad.

As you have no doubt noted a large proportion of the 'Classics' highlighted are being/have been axed from the Breitling range to be replaced by toy watches with pink rubber implants.
I am afraid that IMUHO the new pieces of tak will not look good even on 'attractive' girls (no matter what format the pictures are released in).

For me this piece of historic marketing just rubs salt in the wound (It also crashed my PC)

Your, very good friend

Thanks Ron. Someone should send this Breiling as a reminder of what they're supposed to be all about.

The "Pre-Flight Check" black Navitimer on calf certainly shows a lady can wear a Breitling from outside of the ladies only models.
Reminds me a bit of Raquel Welch's Fathom Harvill character with the Co-Pilot.

Sorry Deadred, The Girls look great, most of those watches look great (if now discontinued, my point) , however (and I work in Marketing), that article is not a Brand.

Yes, we need to keep the pink rubber implants where they belong: on the women I prefer to date, not on Breitlings.

Thanks for the post. What a cool and informative article. I was a little giddy when they compared the CM 24 to a corvette stingray.
