I have owned the SM300P and I currently own the Mark XX, both on bracelet.
In my opinion, the IWC is much more comfortable and versatile. It is almost dangerous as it gets too many wrist time compared to my other watches...
I almost called the boutique back but the sales associate name was not written on the credit card ticket 😂
I took it as a joke as his face was comical, but I am still asking myself why he had such a poor esteem of Breitling. It is the first time I see some despise concerning this brand.
Last week, I walked into a JLC boutique in order to buy a new strap. The welcome was warm, friendly, they show me some stuff, it was a really nice experience.
The sales associate asked me what would be my next watch. A chonograph, I answered, maybe an IWC, a Zenith (he was enthousiastic) or... a Navitimer. When I cited Breitling, his smile disappeared and he looked at me with immense sadness, as if I had demonstrated a very disapointing lack of taste. His face was quite comical, I smiled as if I had joked.
We parted good friends but I regret no have asked him why he reacted like that.
