so i was working at the bar........
i see this guy sitting, having a beer
i realized that he is wearing a breitling chrono matic 1461
limited edition of 500 i guess, preaty cool sporty watch.
so i tell him :
nice breitling! did you get it from the watch store at 5th AV.?
he was like yeah! i just got it right now! the lady at the store gave me a really
good deal on it.
she sold me the watch for a little over 6k , and the original price was like 10k

i am like , wow , it is! a really good price!!
u cant even find that price online! a cool different watch , and limited to 500 units , u cant go wrong with that ,

the guy was preaty cool and gave me the watch for me to take a look ,

i realized the chronos were running ,
i was like, u got the chronos running eh?? he didnt know wtf i was talking about
in fact he didnt know shit about the watch , he didnt know that the watch had a chrono, or date, or day and month.
so i was explaining to him , how to start, stop and reset the chrono in a proper way, and showed him the split second- date split hour-month and minutes- day
he was like , wow! u know better than me !
but can u let the big red hand runn?? i like it that way
im like OK :biglaugh:

this was the watch.
baselworld-2011-breitling-chrono-matic-1461-limited-edition.jpg

SO HE WILL KEEP THE CHRONO RUNNING FOR EVER! WTF GO AHEAD! u paid for it ! enjoy it the way u want it !

ohh he also said something that i think it was really funny
he was like , i didnt wanna buy a rolex! everyone has 1 and they are kind of boring .
im like ! **** yeah!! plus look at all the features u have on ur watch?
more for less!! and only 500 people in the world have that watch , for little over 6k u did a good job!

Those are sweet. Why are you surprised ? You think everyone here knows those items as well ?


well my friend , i was surprise becouse he paid over 6k
1. i told him that the girl at the watch store should tell him about how to operate the watch and how to change the date, day, month
i know her and she knows everything about it, she is not just a seller.
the guy said , well yeah she didnt explain anything.

2. it was the first time i saw that watch in my hands , so when i saw the 2 hands on each , seconds, minute and hours , it was logic for me that besides chrono function it had day, date, and month

so if u buy a 6k watch , at least u gonna be curios right?

I can tell you that the when I boought my Breitling Bentley at my AD, I didn't stick around for the training seminar. I wanted the watch, and I was out of there. I do agree, that they should've asked him if he knew how to use the damn thing. But hey, at least he got a great deal on it !

At the risk of sounding cynical, there's probably a good reason why that thing is limited to 500 units. They probably couldn't get more than that many people to buy one. I think it's one of the ugliest breitlings I've ever seen. But I know... tastes are tastes, and it might just be me... ;)

Damn pec, the guy got a deal on that!
Well done taking the time to explain it all to him. The girl at the store should have done that especially since the MVT can be fragile if set incorrectly.

Breitling are watches that people either love , or hate. There's usually not much of an in between opinion on them. I've always liked them.

Not surprised Pec, and it was good you showed him how to work his watch, but You should have explained to him running the chrono non stop is not such a great idea, even on gens not really best for the watch yano?

When I first heard about the Bentley for some reason I thought it was exclusive to Bentley owners...Then Dave explained to me otherwise...Dude taught me a lot actually, now that I think of it.

yeah i know , i told him the chrono is just a feature , and now u have it running , he said :
just let the big red hand running , i like it that way
so he was now even sure how to start the chrono even after i told him 3 times :lol1:
