With the launch of Breitling's 21st-century PC image, I was expecting to see some of the no-longer-used pop-art display stuff for sale, but have so far found nothing. Anyone else seen anything, or have any ideas about what's happened to it? There must be loads of it.

The girl riding the red missile statue would be a great find. I do wonder where those went...

One of the “Betty On The Bomb” statues sold recently on eBay for the frankly eye-watering (and very Breitling-specific) amount of £1884.84. I believe it was purchased by a guy on one of the FB Breitling groups. Quite a nice novelty item, especially as the rather misogynistic pop-art style is now history, but almost £2k??? :shock:

In this crazy world maybe it will fetch 20k pounds in 2 years from now, so somebody bought it as investment :D

Some of the Roy Lichtenstein art would be cool, but I imagine Breitling takes that all back. Maybe WatchFred has it all.

Yes, I knew it wasn’t Lichtenstein but didn’t know who it was. I should have been clearer.
