I don’t do impulse buying BUT…

I've been on the lookout for a dress watch for years, and it's quite unexpected that I found the perfect one at Breitling of all places, at their newly opened boutique in Saigon. As I walked in, I immediately spotted this beauty. While 40mm is a bit larger than I prefer, this watch is surprisingly slim and slender.

I'm glad I can share this discovery with you here, as I can't do so with my colleagues or family. I appreciate this community.

The purchase of my Breitling watch also marked one of the finest customer service experiences I've ever had, surpassing my previous encounters with Omega, Tudor, and Longines ADs. To celebrate the purchase, they opened a bottle of Ballentine's Glenburgie 18 in their lounge area. Generous gifts and amenities were handed out as well, including a high-quality pair of Breitling-branded See2See sunglasses, crafted from upcycled ocean plastics, made in Italy, and valued at well over USD 100. Additionally, they gifted both my wife and me two baseball caps adorned with the iconic Breitling B.

Thanks, mate! 🖤

Congrats indeed on that gorgeous Breitling. Also love that you refer to my birth city as “Saigon” and not HCM 🤙❤️

Lovely piece.

It reminds me of a vintage Smiths A420 “Engineer’s” watch:

Indeed, quite the resemblance! The white outer ring, small seconds and black/greyish dial depending on the direction of the sunlight. Thanks for the share!

Well HCMC is a mouthful and Saigon sounds much better! Let me know when (if ever) you’re in town!

This is what buying a luxury watch should be like.

That would be excellent - maybe for Tet one day! ❤️🤙🎉

Great brand, well done on a great watch and ownership of one of the most underrated quality watch brands!

I’m sure it will give you excellent service 👏🏻👏🏻

·

Wow. Not many Breitling's turn my head either but that tuxedo dial is quite something. Does the dial read more black or more grey? Either way, a great looking watch. Enjoy!

·

Amazing watch. I'm going to window shop the Breitling website right now. Congrats mate, wear it in good health

·

Congratulations on a beautiful timepiece

·

Beautiful watch, may you love it for the rest of your days as you take care of each other.

·

Lovely looking piece. Doesn't look anything like a Breitling, which is a good thing!

·

Good looking watch, it has a tuxedo thing going on.

·

I love the premier small seconds. Congrats on the new #breitling — my experience when I got my avenger GMT 43 was no different. They poured drinks, engaged in good convo, and gave me a hat and some goodies. Great experience.

Congrats,nice Breitling

Good lord that’s beautiful! Is it 12mm or thicker?

·

Did the staff partake in the bottle?

Did the staff partake in the bottle?

I wish they would’ve! But maybe that’s against corporate policy.

It actually changes so much in sunlight and photos don’t do it justice! It can turn into a very light grey and Breitling calls this color anthracite. You can also not see the rose gold B in the image above.

Looks super nice. What's the model/ref number of this beauty?

Nice watch. I find that impulse buys are usually the best.
