The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hey People!

It all started on a lovely vacation to Aruba. We stumbled into Little Switzerland (Breitling AD throughout the Caribbean) and my eyes immediately went to a beautiful Blue Dial Galactic 41 fitted with a Blue Calf Leather Strap. Nowhere near emotionally ready to spend $xxxx USD (translating to $xxxx Canadian!) on a watch, I walked out saying to my lovely "One day".

I couldn't get my mind off of this watch for the rest of the vacation... Then with one day left in Aruba we found another Little Switzerland in another part of town. Low and behold they had the same watch! Fate!? Gearing up to purchase, but it was rather.. well.. seemingly passed around to many past potential buyers. Scratched and scuffed. A very good excuse for my emotionally unreadiness to spend $xxxx Canadian! on a watch.

Flying home, dying for wifi to research this stunning timepiece. It's a "timepiece" now by the way, eases the emotional unreadiness as discussed above ... Not one day passes, we call around to see who has this timepiece. No one in the province with this configuration. Day 3, we walk into the Breitling Boutique in Toronto to try on a few other options and nothing was the same to me. Deposit left and now... A brand new factory fresh (fingers crossed) Galactic 41 with a Metallica Blue Dial and Blue Calf Leather strap is on its way from Breilting Swizterland!

I'm jumping out of my seat in excitement. I'll post some eye candy when she arrives.

Update: Pics below

Congrats on the timepiece that you WANT. Waiting is surely going to be such torture for you though. I can't wait to see some pics.

Cool story. And Aruba is where I saw and fell in love with my Navitimer! And I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Did a little more research and then bought it two days after I returned home.

Enjoy!

Thank you! I picked it up yesterday and I can't stop starring at it. They gave me some Breitling swag too!!!:

- Breitling Pocket Knife with Leather Pouch
- Breitling Hat
- Breitling Microfibre Cleaning Cloth

They had a little yellow pocket Breitling umbrella too but I picked the knife instead. I can't stop thinking of that umbrella!

I know exactly how you feel.
Enjoy

I'd post pics on this forum too but it seems I'd need to drastically reduce the size of the image and I'm not near a computer for a few days. Wish I could just directly post them on this forum too.

Upload them to a third-party site, like tinypics, and then paste the URL here.

PICS AS PROMISED




The day it came into the Toronto Boutique from Switzerland, they emailed me a pic...





The day later when I picked it up and chose the strap...









A couple of shots from the Celebratory Lunch afterwards...







A low light shot from the dark bathroom in the Restaurant...





Finally but almost as important, the Breitling Swag...





The swag above included:
-Breitling Hat
-Breitling Swiss Army Knife with Leather Pouch
-Breitling Microfibre Cleaning Cloth

They had a beautiful little yellow umbrella too but I chose the knife instead. Still want that umbrella though. I googled endlessly and can't find it anywhere. I only see the big golf umbrellas. The only place I have seen this is in this Boutique store. It's nowhere online. Ah well.

I'm loving this watch, I can't stop starring at this blue! Absolutely no picture that I have seen of this watch can capture the beauty of this dial, the different hues it gives off depending on the angle and lighting factors.

Looks great and congrats!
