Interestingly I went the other way of sorts. I sold my Rolex (I no longer feel any connection to the brand) and kept my Breitlings as they were Squadron watches. I always feel that you should wear what you like and ignore what others say.

I 100% agree. Wear what you like, always. Truth be told, I don't wear rolex often either.

Same thing happened to me with Rolex -- I just no longer find a connection to the brand or their watches. Breitling is my favorite brand now and i just love their entire line.

Breitling is my Swiss high end brand of choice. The Navitimers, colts and super oceans are very hard to beat

This is true, my first real luxury watch is a Breitling. I purchased it 2 1/2 years ago , great time piece. 👍

Thank you! Awesome, which model did you get?

nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much

I love this story and thank you for your service. From one veteran to another, enjoy that piece!

I started last year with 2009-2018 Breitling B01 chronomats , now i own 5 Chronomats B01. I will add some more B01 Chronomats, before adding a Breitling for Bentley, some Transocean and a Navi

Excellent collection. More breitlings 🙏🏼

Great video, thanks🙂👍. Kind of a parallel story: first higher end watch 20 years ago was a Super-O. Then bought a Subdate, but kept the Breitling. Sold the Subdate, then years later bought a Datejust, but kept the Breitling. Now, I'm thinking of selling the DJ and getting another Breitling. Rolex makes a great watch, it just doesn't look right on me. I'll check out your other videos, thanks again.

Haven’t seen any in person yet. However, the new dials do look sharp. Breitling over has done well at adding to their line ups including the Navitimers imho. What are your thoughts on them?

@@Chris_Warnes I haven't seen them in person yet either, but I think they're beautiful watches. I'm a newbie in the luxury watch arena and I'm still learning, but I'm strongly considering making the Navitimer my first purchase.

Many years ago, before becoming a dealer, I started with a Chronomat and then SuperOcean. I did/do not regret it, as I felt called to them then. Now, we have a great relationship with Breitling and can get new watches well under MSRP for our clients. And would be happy to help you with yours. If you have any questions, feel free to ask I’m all about educating here on this channel and business.
