I'll be honest, I am surprised as well. Not because I love Breitlings but because it seems like most of the people I talk to do. These are not "watch people" but rather everyday people and they usually point out Breitlings and say positive things. I don't know if it's the big packaging or the commercial sponsors or the whole "aviator" feel but I feel like they get a lot of love. These are people probably unwilling to shell out the money for them but like the style so I would imagine more than a few would find themselves looking for a replica. Maybe the factories aren't working on updating because this customer group doesn't care about quality or accuracy to gens? They're just happy with a cheapie?
