The smell when you open the box is wonderful!

Both the outer and the inner wooden box are the best yet, mind you last years was pretty special!

In total 3.2Kg of Christmas cheer!

Thank you Breitling UK!!

Stef

It was a seasonal gift from Breitling UK service department, I've spent a four figure sum starting with a 2 over the last 18 months on servicing!

But that aside, I really appreciate the box each year and am quite thankful for receiving them, the boxes alone are just amazing, let alone the contents and the calendar!

That has nothing to do with spending. You could have spent a 5 figure sum in 12 months here in Switzerland and you would have only gotten a cap. Maybe... :x :evil:

I think it has more to do with the country you live in.

Anyway, enjoy the holidays Steff. :) And don't eat all 3.2 kg before the 25th.

That's because they are supplied by the regional distributor in each region. Each distributor makes their own decisions about what to order from Breitling.

Hmmm,

I've obviously p****d somebody off then. I am on my 2nd B'ling, live in the UK and I have never received such a lovely Xmas gift from B'ling :cry: .

Ah yes Roff,

That makes sense - hell will freeze over before I spend a four figure sum (beginning with 2) in an 18 month period on servicing. So, I will continue to remain unworthy :bow: .

They are great boxes - one has my watch tools, etc... and another for straps, bracelets, clasps, springbars, etc...

And last year there were two types of chocolate - remember FEAR? Speaking of fear, I fear I will not start Christmas morning with SBs Christmas Blend and Breitling chocolate this year. Oh well, Christmas blend and Cranberry Bliss Bars it is.

You are very lucky to get these great boxes with chocolates inside from BUK (I baught two B01 watches this year, and got several repairs, full services from BF (Breitling France)... :bow: :lingsrock:

No chance to get this stuff in France, I'm afraid ((As I said before and heard again during the "Salon du Bourget 2011" from the French Bretiling CEO, it's not smart to offer goodies & stuff to clients or customers, not in France) :roll:

(If you don't want anymore one of these wood boxes, I am here)... :drool:

Well this year on Christmas Day I shall wake to a fresh bean to cup of Costa at home, unlike last year waking up in Manhattan and going for a fresh coffee and breakfast in the Tick Tock Diner in the New Yorker Hotel!

My favourite though was Joe's in Grand Central, some of the best coffee in NYC!!
