Question Breitling Watches in HKG

Hi there,

Can anyone recommend a Breitling dealer they've used in the past, that is both competitive and offers good customer service?

Airline discount??

Cheers

Give the Elegant Watch & Jewelry. Co. a go....

Shop OT 284, level 2,
Ocean Terminal, Harbour City
Kowloon, Hong Kong

You will have to fight for it.... but don't accept anything less than 37-38% off the ticketed price (I know of guys that have got 40% off).

Every man and his dog in CX has an Aerospace (probably because it's a great watch), but if you are after something a bit different, go for the B1 or Navitimer.

Honkie shop owners are famously rude and arrogant. Are you sure a 38-40% discount is possible? May be during SARS not now when the economy is booming with Mainlanders cash!

I was told my foot is too big and Bally dont make such big shoes (44), I was enraged as hell and told the sales girl what a big foot size really means (Size matters)

Yo yo,

Well some 9 monthS ago - I can certainly confirm what Night dude just said. Some 35+% off is what you should get.

Good luck and teach them watch sellers a lesson.

Go to Peace King in the New World Centre next to the Intercon TST. Show airline ID and should get 40% off ticket price for cash. No haggling there, extra if you use credit card. Many CX and KA colleagues have had good deals there. Sorry I don't have exact address as I gave the cards I had away.

Agree with Night Watch. I got 40% off at Elegant in Ocean Centre (I knew the sales assistant), but also got 40 % discount at Global Timepieces, also in Ocean Centre near the Victorinox shop. Bought both watches this year.

Yeah, bit of an overkill I know. Couldn't decide between 2 models so I bought both. Wife was thrilled. Told her I could sell one on Ebay for a profit one day. Had to justify it somehow. Chrono Superocean for work and Crosswind for...not work. I have now lost any right to complain about anything my wife buys. All arguments usually end with, "At least I didn't buy TWO Breitlings!"

If the Breitling alone isn't enough to boost your self-confidence, you can always combine it with the black Aussie boot that some guys wear with their uniform.

can't remember the name of the shop, just up from the Holiday Inn on Nathan Rd, right hand side. 40% off the Cosmonaut, but it's been a bit of a lemon. In retrospect, automatic wasn't the way to go...
