What Breitling gets RIGHT

[@David-nx2vm]

My silver-dial Chronomat was a birthday gift from my wife two years ago. The design, movement, case finishing, bracelet, dial, build quality are all top-tier for a sub-$10k watch. I have Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Oris, micros and affordables in my modest collection, and that Breitling occupies a special place - sentimental reason aside. The leadership change put them on a terrific path going forward.

Great job highlighting Breitling. You are one of the few giving this great brand its due airtime.

[@BruceWilliams]

Thank you!

[@brentmillertime8778]

Another fantastic video Bruce. Great job capturing how great this model is. Love that you included that at the end too!

[@williamsmith9561]

Absolutely stunning watch as you say. The one thing that drew my eye is the misaligned screw heads securing the tourbillon bridge. I was trained by a high class cabinet maker and this is crime in top end handmade furniture. Apples and oranges, I know, but at this price point, I can't unsee it.

[@steelsteez6118]

Still can't believe you got rid of your Datora 🤦‍♂️

[@BruceWilliams]

Haha why? I always say I don't do keepers

[@daniell2217]

Because it seemed like it was VERY ‘you’.

[@ronintheamazon1492]

@@BruceWilliamsyou said once you got ur skydweller you would keep it

[@BruceWilliams]

@@ronintheamazon1492 lol for however long I wanted to. I never have keepers.

[@nikkolomakaveli8295]

Man that Datora is something special. I shed a tear when he sold it ain’t it isn’t even my watch 😢

[@mrlong6267]

I own about 20 watches and if I can keep only 1…it would be my Breitling Galactic 41 with black dial and big date 💯

[@BruceWilliams]

Nice!

[@chronoluxurysweden6965]

Great video. Breitling is the best! Really love what they are doing. ❤👍

[@MisterKnightly]

My favorite watch, bar none, is my Breitlite Colt Skyracer. An under-talked-about easy to wear quartz that is ultra light, tough and accurate. I got it for 1800 CAD, and that's one hell of a deal.

[@BruceWilliams]

Nice!

[@nchance1]

I have connected with the Breitling brand, I have the 43 Wahawk with the B01 movement. It is a fabulous watch. When you hold a Breitling in your hands, the quality and finish felt more polished than some of the other brands that I have held.

[@scottlalonde2878]

Great video Bruce, thank you. Love Breitling.

[@LIONTAMER3D]

The SuperOcean 46 in green remains one of the most visually impressive watches i ever laid eyes on. It gets overlooked a lot in the world of dive watches, but it's a bona fide classic; it's also gargantuan

[@ryangallagher7439]

Love Breitling and have met Fred he's a lovely chap.

[@nizarmurar]

Dear Bruce Great episode as always. All the best to your good friend Prad. VIVA BREITLING 🎉🎉 with love and appreciation Nizar

[@anthonystevens8683]

Like you Bruce, the Tourbillon is unlikely to be on my shopping list but I can appreciate the engineering and finishing from afar. We still need these watches to be made even if they are our of reach of most.

[@drpepper3838]

Love my avenger43mm!!

[@Frank-vo9xo]

I agree and I just bought 13 days ago brand new

[@arshadmomen]

Bruce, you are outdoing yourself in each of your recent watch videos.

[@BruceWilliams]

Thank you!

[@threethrushes]

If someone from today could take a toubillion watch back to the 16th century, they would become the richest person who ever lived within a couple of years. Staggering how important time-keeping was in the age of exploration.

[@ryanelectra225]

Beautiful. What is the msrp for it?

[@BruceWilliams]

About 60k

[@kevinr206]

I don’t get them, first I can’t spell the brand, next they sell ETA watches that look great but have 38 hour power reserve

[@michaelriera6277]

You can’t spell the brand?

[@daniell2217]

If Kerns can figure out how to have Breitling lose < 10% MSRP on the aftermarket, Breitling will be #2 to Rolex for as long as he wants. I know “it’s not an investment”, “but what you love”, etc. etc., but as far as I can tell the HUGE depreciation the minute one walks out of the AD is literally the only thing to not like about Breitling today.

[@michaelriera6277]

So this is the only thing keeping you from owning a Breitling? Why not buy secondary or grey market and let some else take the depreciation hit? That is how I buy my Breitling. Breitling offers watches that are beautifully made, have genuine heritage, and not part of a large conglomerate.

[@daniell2217]

@michael. This is a fair question. I don’t buy grey b/c I doubt the authenticity of the product. I am not and never will be educated enough to spot an above avg fake, let alone a frankenwatch. Maybe buying from AD isn’t a guarantee either, but it’s the level of assurance that makes me feel like I have the ‘real McCoy’.

[@LIONTAMER3D]

That "huge depreciation" happens to all but Rolexes & a handful of other watches, same as the car industry; or any other industry for that matter. Your comment amounts to: "boy, if he could change the entire industry to his favor, he'd really have something going." It's an absolutely absurd statement that cannot be made by any thinking person. You know, if Ford could make a car that wouldn't depreciate do much, they'd be a great car company! If Chateau Palmer appreciated like Chateau Margaux, they'd be on to something there! =/

[@RasmusF1983]

Align the screws used for the Tourbillion, please 🙏 It’s disturbing my eye. Besides that, brilliant watch.

[@RasmusF1983]

I noticed it straight away without even holding it in my hand. I would expect the screws to align for a watch close to the 70k mark.

[@steelsteez6118]

If they aligned the screws they would need to either loosen the screw or overtighten the screw.

[@RasmusF1983]

Haha. I’m sure their engineers can figure it out. If not they can ask the ones at AP how they did with the Royal Oak.

[@pilotwjf]

The aligned slots in a Royal Oak are sleeves for the actual screws in the rear of the case that are not aligned.

[@Bredes1]

​@@RasmusF1983🤦do some research.

[@SpaceG95]

Rolex who? 🤔🤣🤣

[@pruteanu6]

A bit overpriced brand …

[@BruceWilliams]

Welcome to the world of watches, you must be new ;)

[@michaelriera6277]

They are all luxury brands hence “overpriced “. If your looking for a discount buy secondary or grey market.

[@pruteanu6]

@@michaelriera6277 I don't know what I could have done without your advice... you're a life saviour
