So I was at my friends car dealership and he has a new dealer working for him.

I noticed he had on a Breitling Emergency mission. Needless to say I said to myseld "rep"

So in casual conversation I looked closer but not too close and we got into the "finer things" He did not know much about watches but he bought himself this Emergency when he worked somewhere else making alot of money....hmmmm.

So He eyeballed my PAM but I was a little nervous but not so much. Sometimes confidence is key. ( BTW It was the RWI PAW I wass sporting)

Then when he flipped his wrist over I saw the tell tale red gasket that was the makrk of a gen...he proceeded to take it off and for sure it was the real deal, test button and everything. OOPS. I wan not trying to embarass him but IMO he has no need for such a piece selling luxury cars to the nouveau North shore rich and shameless.

My mistake, lesson learned but no harm came from it. After a few minutes he did not know much about other watches just about the "expensive " ones and knew little of the "finer "details.

That's a first...........

Good thing you did not pull out the transmitter pin. Thinking it was a rep, you could have to get your 'flat tire' repaired. :D
There is a $15,000 fine for activating a Breitling emergency watch when there is no urgency. It is a serious timepiece indeed.
