Hi there guys. I am Nick, and unfortunatelly I don't own a Breitling watch.
My dad did, and he passed away.
He was a happy owner of a breitling watch, but what was given to me from his wife the watch was missing.

I only have some of the accesories and I registered here to identify them.

Breitling watches are very nice, and I wished to have owned one. Maybe a replica for starters.
I own a few designer watches, which I know are cr@p, in terms of watchmaking but the look nice.

Thanks guys for the time and space.

ATB

Welcome to BreitlingSource. Designer watches are a million times better than fakes (replica is just a name for a fake that makes fake owners feel better about owning fakes).

Thanks for the welcome Roffensian.

Well I haven't owned a replica, but I know a lot of Rollex fakes are out there. I don't find it bad, to own a fake/replica watch as long you don't brag its the real thing.

I have a very time consuming and expensive hobby, and unfortunately I cannot afford to go deeper into watch collection.
I find the process of watchmaking very interesting though. All the tiny pieces put together and work for a lifetime.


btw you guys have a very tidy forum, hope I will blend in.

Nick
