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...
