Dani Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hey all Just got my first gen and as i em not a big fan of forums like TimeZone and Paneristi becasue the way they look down on us replica fans i will post this here. I em 21yr old and this is my first high end genuine watch if it had not been for replica watches i woud never got into watches so to all anti replica heads watch intrest can spark from many angels not only MONEY Ok lets start meet up whit my friend and driver for a long drive to the airport And here is me Ohh no traffic is sloooow The airport And since the seller is activ in the norwigan defence/airforce no pics from trade he was a fighter pilot F16 in Kosovo before so my watch have been used as it shoud up in jetfighters And for the FINAL The BOX Hope you enjoy my pics more to come soon Cheers, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Very cool narrative, Dani. Now let's see some wrist shots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 So, what happens if you trigger the Emergency homing beacon when there is no real emergency? Do you get into trouble/fined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 $15,000 usd + replacement cost of the transmitter... i'd pull it drunk sometime, im sure of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Very cool narrative, Dani. Now let's see some wrist shots! So, what happens if you trigger the Emergency homing beacon when there is no real emergency? Do you get into trouble/fined? depends on what area you do it and so on but from 15000 to 45000$ ticket is a reality. Cheers, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 So does that thing emitt some sort of ID signal too - I mean putting the beacon out and in wouldn't hurt... No one's gonna know. Anyway, nice watch and nice pics. You have to pay since the watch is registerd to your name and as i see it no way to get out if you trigger it. But its easy to avoid i bought this watch becasue i have always whanted to be a pilot and this was the ultimate breit in my eyes also.

www_watch Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Who cares about the beacon.... The fun really starts when you run low on juice from the batteries with this thing. A friend of mine has a Breitling Emergency. He thought it was pretty cool until he had to get new batteries (yes, there are two in there). He took it to the AD and guess what.... they had to send it in. Final damage: $460US.... So don't you play with those nice LCD's too often.

Dani Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 This is sick... and shows me to never buy a genuine Breitling. Paying 460US$ for two 5$ batteries is way too much to ask. I don't think these are special batteries in there - most probably any watchmaker can change them. I would try that before I think of feeding 460US$ into a companies mouth that obvoiusly needs to rip people off... And I always thought Breitlings were a good bang for the buck... I dont regret one moment to be onest but i see your point 100% its just stupid that they need to ship it to breitling to change 2 batteries and the cost plus time ti whait is just sick. But again its just have it is good service history will give back to you when re selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaviChief Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) Although I don't have the time to look it up, I would put good money on the fact those aren't 2 $5 batteries in there. Although a lot of it is for show (the case and such), that is meant to be a professional tool that could and probably has saved lives. It would be too much of a liability risk for the company to put cheap components in there that run down often. That being said I am sure there is PLENTY of markup still built into the battery change.

chrgod Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Congratulations on your new watch, Dani! Nice choice! The king of Quartz watches.. ( besides the Omega X-33 of course! ) Just like with old second hand prestige cars, like Bentley, Rolls Royce and Porsche.. The may be cheap to purchase, but cost of parts and service takes some of the joy of the ownership... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 any reps of this model? anybody know? thanks! Richard Lawton had a reasonable one, I recall. I think he also bought a genuine. Perhaps ask him? PS: Congrats Dani, great watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 thanks bytor. I can't find them on any dealers section...maybe not the most popular to rep i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Richard had one for sale in the old RWG. Perhaps the watch is long gone... but you never know. He has hundreds of watches so you might just send him a pm. I recall it looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
