Does anyone own a Breitling watch? I really like the Colt Chrono. Are they worth the price? Most of them range between 4-6k, this one is 2k. I have a bunch of stuff sitting in my garage I can sell on ebay and hopefully get close to enough for that watch, so I have been debating it, but it is alot to spend on an accessory...

I can not imagine spending 2K on a watch. $100-$125 is about what I pay for a watch. This is my current $100 watch:
If you are a sucessful business person, you need a great watch to compliment. First thing I notice when I meet a client is their watch. My watch that I paid $9k for: Spoiler
Don't get me wrong. A good watch is worth money. I paid $600 for mine and It's worked great for 5 years. If your Into watches then hey, go for it. I've spend thousands on Audio equipment so what the hell.
wondering how long it owuld be for someone to show their rolex. rolex you pay for the name, breitling you pay for the quality.
if you have to sell stuff to buy it it is not meant to be ... at least right now. How old are you? Just curious?
Interesting. The first thing I would look at would be their eyes... windows to the soul and all that. Anyway, here's my watch, the Casio PAW1100T-7V TITANIUM Pathfinder Atomic Solar Triple Sensor... Atomic timekeeping and solar powered... I never have to wind it or change the batteries or worry about accuracy... plus it has everything I need for my job: compass altimeter altitude alarm altimeter memory and graphs barometer thermometer water resistant to 100m 5 daily alarms countdown timer all time zones stopwatch hourly signals calendar 24 hour format low temperature resistant titanium and so far, scruff and dent-proof I paid $189 with a Penney's coupon.
It's cheaper because it's quartz. At least that's what Wikipedia makes it sound like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitling. AFAIK, typically watchmakers are perfectly happy charging the same or similar prices for quartz vs. automatic watches of the same line.
i thought a similar thing but it must be a salesperson thing. If the person i'm doing business with was that interested in my watch, i wouldnt want to do business with them.
If you've got the money to spend, and you want it, go for it. But good Lord.......if I thought I was being judged by my watch, I'd be pretty leary about business dealings with those doing the judging. Not saying I wouldn't do business with them........I'd just know that we have different values. But know this, now more than ever, a fine watch is just a piece of mechanical jewelery.
I own the Omega Planet Ocean Co-Axial. If you decide to get a Breitling or any of the fine watches, it will probably be the last watch you ever own. They last forever.
