Breitling used to send a free copy of The Book to anyone who bought a B01-equipped watch. I got a couple free copies. However, I doubt this is still happening.

Only in States though. BUK never felt compelled to do the same unfortunately! :lol:

You're right . . . I totally forgot about that. That was a pretty sore subject around here for a while; sorry to bring it back up.

Prices vary, as does the shipping cost.

Hi

In defence of Breitling and their freebies, there are good news stories too.

I organized a meeting of 10 Breitling enthusiasts here in the UK 3 years ago. I took time to tell Breitling about our planned meeting in a letter....

A very heavy box arrived at my house soon after, containing 10 copies of Breitling The Book.

Such a great response. We were all extremely grateful.

Davey

Very nice. Continued letters to Breitling regarding further meetings are definitely in order.

A rep at Tourneau of all places gave me one for free a year or two ago. Didn't even buy a watch, just talked to her about Breitling. Nice to have.

It's a great book, never even knew about it until I was on breitlings website a couple weeks ago, probably because I didn't get crazy into breitling until about a year and a half ago. And I came across it on eBay, book weighs about 6 pounds I won it for $66 plus $10 for shipping not bad, breitlings wants $190 I believe.
