The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Just got back from Grand Cayman and Cozumel...wow the Breitling displays at AD's were amazing. They were as big or bigger than Rolex in most stores. I almost pulled the trigger on the 4-year calendar Navitimer but will wait (I want the in-house movement and don't think it had it). Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of marketing. Go Breitling~

Breitling doesnt make an in house movement with a 4 year calendar if thats what youre looking for....i couldnt tell from your post.

Hopefully they will do the 4-yr model in the future.

Thanks. Yes, I am going to wait until Breitling releases additional models with in-house movements before buying another. Hopefully they will do the 4-yr model in the future.

It would be nice to see, but based on their current price structure I bet a 4 year calendar with an in-house movement will list in the neighborhood of $12-13K.

What I find disturbing is that you dared to go inear a high-end watch store in Mexico, where they chop off your arm to steal a G-shock. Glad you made it back safe.

Tell me about it...
I wore my Superocean Steelfish in Mexico and did not feel safe (dumb idea on my part). I would have never veered off the "main drag" for fear of getting robbed/ killed. There were Policia in tact gear/ helmets, and machine guns posted at most street corners on the main street where all the stores are at. Scary place. When we were walking back towards the ship we walked through a lesser desirable area (even though it was on the main shopping/ tourist area) and several "locals" were eye-balling my watch. I thought they were going to follow us but luckily didn't. You can tell the cruise lines funded and had the store-front/ shopping area/ main street area rebuilt...if you look even 1 block back, it looks like total hell there. I will never return to Cozumel. Not worth it.

On a happier note, the Grand Caymen Island was awesome. Very polite, non-pushy AD's and extremely high-end watches. I wore my TT DateJust 18k/ SS there and felt very comfortable.

I took a cruise and was in Cozumel in 2010. I wore my Sub everywhere including a taxi ride to La Playa (sp ?) to go to the beach. I never felt uncomfortable. Has it change that much?

Just got back from a cruise as well. St. Thomas, St. Maarten and PR. The stores down there were awesome, infact, bought my first B down there
