The Breitling Watch Source Forums

You're clearly a gent Matt, it's obvious from your posts. I think I understand where you're coming from, and that in general it's just a question of treading that line between saying, for example of an unpopular new watch, "uh, not for me, here's why I think it's ugly / incoherent / a violation of their design heritage" etc etc, which one can do in very robust terms, and "uh, only an idiot / clown would buy this fugly watch", which might make someone who liked or had bought it feel a little, well, sheepish. In fairness I think most of the criticism on here is very much in the former camp, and Breitling are lucky to have such a resource in terms of free and well-informed feedback.

There's a saying in the UK which is useful to bear in mind if one ever feels bruised on global internet forums: "Opinions are like a***holes, everyone's got one".
