Weak market doesn't seem to be an ideal time to sell.
only accurate watches are interesting

I actually didn't even realize that Breitling was independent. I just assumed they were owned based on some of the designs they've released.....

Don't get me wrong, I like my fair share of Breitlings.

Hope their service doesn't suffer. They have been great to deal with in the past.

I also didn't realize they were still independent.

Sold my Superocean Chrono yesterday. Probably for the best.
No, it's not Tourettes.

I didn't realized that either. Some of their designs looked like the new Anonimo owned them.
