Just a quick story about a recent shopping trip I had with my girlfriend. The other day my girlfriend and I decided to do a bit of window shopping for engagement rings. After a hour or two of looking through numerous jewellers we both spotted a ring we both liked the look at. I could see that my girlfriend really liked the ring so we went in so see if would could have a closer look at the ring and she could try it on for size. Any hows lets cut a long story short, the ring was amazing! My girlfriend tried it on for size and it looked amazing on her.

Just before getting up and leaving the shop I asked the kind gentleman who had been trying his hardest to sell me the ring if he sells Breitings? After a few seconds I realized I shouldn't of asked this question.... his face started to turn red.... “Breitling's!!” he said. The whole room went quiet.... I said “what's the problem with breitling?” And pulled back my jacket to show him I have one. He then started ranting and raving about how they are rubbish he use to stock them but after a lot of returns because of faults he stopped being a supplier. I couldn't believe what he was saying, was quite embaressing. He said you are better of with a cheap £5 watch that still says the correct time. If my girlfriend wasn't there I would of made quite a scene :guns: . I would of asked what make watch did he have on, then tear that to pieces.

Any how with clenched fists, me and my girlfriend made our way out. Neva to return again.....

:lingsrock: forever!!

Hmmmm, looks like he obviously had some kind of axe to grind there. Maybe Breitling took away his AD status for some reason (or some sort of indiscretion perhaps?) and he's obviously got sort of bitterness!

Glad you didn't buy your ring from the creep! Maybe you can find
a jewelry shop that also sells Lings. :) Now that would be a win/win
situation... :wink:

OK now here is what you do: send in absolutely EVERYONE you know in there to ask them if they carry Breitlings! :twisted:
