New Breitling Premier Collection

Post by logan2z » Mon Oct 22, 2018 4:11 pm

I think they hit one out of the park here. The chronograph looks awesome (love the two-register panda), as does the automatic day/date at $4750 (42mm and 40mm respectively).

The two register chrono is truly beautiful.

That chrono looks great!

First breitling I’d think about buying.

Chronograph is fantastic! Looking forward to 75% off on the used market, though; it's a Breitling, after all.

Nice! But dang that price is brutal. And what is the L2L on that panda? Either that is a chicken wrist or a long watch.

Pics aren’t working for me on Tapatalk?

The chrono is gorgeous, reminds me of an older Hamilton. The day date does absolutely nothing for me.

The Premier is nice. However, the new Navitimers are awful IMO. Recently saw an ad in a magazine featuring Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt, and Adam Driver all wearing Navitimers and calling themselves The Breitling Cinema Squad, #SQUADONAMISSION. Serious? Actors on a mission? Where is Breitling going with this crap?

I like it a lot except for the price tag. Owning 2 Breitlings currently, even buying them a good discounts, I'd loose more %-age wise selling either of them than any other watch I've ever owned. It'll be worth watching these on the grey dealer sales and second hand market in a year or two and see where the price settles out.

These look great for the classy simplicity, especially that panda. I don't pay much attention to Breitling because the dials always seem too busy to me. Why do they have such poor re-sale value though?

nice effort, but the $8400 price tag is ridiculous... Kern must think he's back at IWC? :raised:

Unfortunately not out of line with in-house chronographs from other manufacturers. Tag Heuer charges $6K for the Autavia reissue :rolleyes:

They sell Breitling at the 34th street Macys in NYC, so it's technically a department store watch.

By that argument, so is IWC, JLC, AP, Zenith, Panerai, Moser, etc. All carried by Harrods:

after both being lowly, mid-priced tool watches forever, now Breitling & Heuer try to market themselves as 'haute horlogerie' with price tags to match... can't wait to hear how many they move at full $8400 MSRP :rolleyes:

A cheap(er) alternative to this Breitling Chrono (which does look very nice) is the new Hamilton Intra-Matic.

The day date looks cheap- just not spending a dime on Breitling... who knows what will happen to this brand.
