I am probably what could be described as a Watch Collector; this started
shortly after I started learning to fly in 1999. I own 5 or 6 mechanical
(automatic/hand wind) watches and a couple modern (aka battery-powered)
ones.

I have the Breitling catalogs for several sequential years, but I
stopped getting them after a while, despite my lust for a Montbrilliant
(sp?) variation on the Navitimer model. I do love the looks of those
models...

Why? Because I know of two gentlemen who have had to have their
Breitlings serviced (at their cost) after only a few years of ownership
- and one of those is an electronic watch while the other is a
mechanical one that was immersed in water (not deep) and stopped working
despite a "reasonable" statement about working underwater.

Given the cost of Breitlings - around $10K for the rose gold variant of
the aviation-specific special release done a couple years ago, I have
decided to save those dinars/dollars/simoleans for something that I have
more faith in.

BTW if anyone's interested, the most reliable mechanical watch I have
owned is a Ventura Ego Pi... Based on a fairly standard movement
(Swatch/E

If you go to their warranty, the very first line reads
"1.All products are replica."
