Is Breitling a Watch Enthusiast Brand? 

Coolest story. Good on you and your wife!!!

@@mitchmitchell9588 Agree!👍

Lies

Same for me, but with the SO.

@@florincornea1786 Nice🙂👍

Their logo looks perverse 😆

@@Strideo1 haha true 😅

@@Mans1810 after someone pointed it out I just can't unsee it 😂

It needs wings.

I know what your saying regarding the ETA movement, but money talks, selling price talks. I like Chronograph’s and have been fortunate enough to be able to purchase another one recently (last one for a long time I think) namely the Longines Spirit Chrono. Talking of bi compax designs I do like the relatively new Fortis!

@@seamasterist lol @ “last one for a long time” 🤣. Yeah, that’s exactly what I tell the mrs. each time (about a week after buying that one and a month prior to the next one) 😝.

​@@paulbijen 😂😂😂😂😂

Really weird seeing that lack of attention.

It’s Watch Gringa in the house!!!

Never buy a Breitling at retail unless it's a limited edition. Even at their own boutique I was getting offered 10-15% discount. Ended up buying the new Navitimer for under 7k

Although I do agree that you get an amazing deal with the Speedmaster it’s in no way comparable with a Navitimer. What I mean is that if you can only spend a certain amount of money once I think the Speedmaster is the smartest buy, because it’s sporty, classy and easy to wear in a lot of occasions. The Navitimer is a lot bigger and a totally different watch on its own. I own both of them (New Speedmaster Moonwatch SS and a Navitimer 46 B01) and love them probably just as much. They are worth every penny I paid for them (both at retail minus 12%) and never regretted getting them. Another watch that really is a bargain for what you are getting is the Tudor Royal 41. Ok, no in house movement or exhibition caseback, but what do you expect for €2200,-!? Longines… sorry, just not into it. IWC is also a great brand and next to my Pilot Chrono 41 I’ve just put an order in for the “Lake Tahoe” 😍. In my opinion every watch collection should include a Speedmaster, Navitimer, Pilot’s watch and a “Sub / diver”…

since when is Tudor Chrono £2k? That would be smashing

@@kranffel no. It’s £4k. So same price as the super cheap Breitling.

@@dec1aim_flow432 Super cheap??? The Top Time is powered by the same 7753 you find in the newly launched on-trend Tissot PRX Chronograph for just over a third of the price (£1,500). How much of the £4,250 SRP is Breitling brand tax keeping their Private Equity owners in the luxury they’re accustomed to? 🤔

@@borassictime918that’s my point. I didn’t mean super cheap. I meant « super cheap »…

@@borassictime918 it’s called sarcasm

Spam!

Buy used and save some money on Breitling

@@jeffjacobson59 most of the top Times beside this one is fetching far more than retail..no savings in this case.

Hmm 🤔… Yes I do like it, but better in every way? I find it quite “top” heavy and just don’t like the rivets on the bracelet. The main reason I didn’t buy a BB yet… Next Tudor will probably be the Pelagos, but first the Zenith Chronomastet Sport 😍.

@@paulbijen Don't buy the bracelet. Nato or leather, fits like a glove. Better in every way......yup!

Can’t have too many of them!!!

@@paulbijen Agree!

Mine has none of those issues

Except objectively speaking your cellphone is a superior time keeper compared to either. So is a 20 dollar digital wrist watch as we both know. Dropping money for either is not a rational decision, it’s largely subjective. Subjectively, the watch featured in the video is a very good looking watch. It only needs to appeal to a select few, the Hamilton will be cranked out by the thousands. It isn’t difficult to suggest the Hamilton is the better value, the Breitling could easily be the more interesting watch.

@@waterfordrs22 Both the Hamilton and Breitling have almost identical cases, the movements are the same except that Hamilton took the time to increase the power reserve an additional 20 hours, as well as adding a date window and a variety of colors for $3,000 less than the Breitling. Both the quality and price can be directly compared.

@@troller3155 I told you - it’s a better value. But at the end of the day for the person can afford that watch, it doesn’t make a shit’s worth of difference. If they appreciated the aesthetics of the more expensive watch and perhaps it’s relative exclusivity- done deal. Objectivity out the door. Spending 4K on a mechanical watch which can’t outperformed the cell phone in your pocket is not a rational decision. Purchasing one over the other, new because it’s a better investment? That’s objectively dumb. You’re throwing your money away with either. As for the power reserve, Hamilton does that by slowing the frequency of the movement down. There’s nothing wrong with that, but not everyone likes the fact they slow it down.

@@waterfordrs22 I hear you.. The truth is that you should buy what you like and for many subjectively the Hamilton is more appealing, but as I stated initially objectively it’s better. The whole cell phone statement is a bit silly though.. I’m comparing apples to apples, not apples to cheesecake.

@@troller3155 it’s not silly. Objectively it’s no better a time keeper. Objectively, if keeping accurate time and spending one’s hard earned money is what you’re aiming for, a couple grand on a mechanical watch simply doesn’t make a lot of sense. Objectively you are correct, but there’s plenty of such examples for comparison. Subjectively, the Top Time is better looking. It’s more exclusive and it has better cache as a brand. That all adds. It means they can sell less watch for more money. I used to want an Intra-magic myself. Kind of fell out of love with the watch. That said, I prefer the manual wind version. As for value, I’d suggest the Hanhart 417ES, now available in 39mm case is a good value. A pre owned Longines Big Eye can be had for a good value. I wouldn’t purchase either the Breitling or Hamilton new at MSRP any way

The prize comment is a scam.

You press the top button to start/stop and you press the bottom to reset.

I suspect they made it gold because the B has been gold since it was introduced in 1956?

It's pretty obvious that he was speaking relative to other mechanical watches.

It’s you.

No, it’s not just you … it looks very slightly out of alignment.

The dial kind of looks like Felix the cat. Lol
