Breitling NFL chronomat.

I saw the ones that the boutique had in stock yesterday. Limited to 104 per team. The sales staff mentioned that Green Bay has sold the most selling 74 up to now. Interesting concept. Might bring more new buyers to the brand.

I noticed 2 nfl coaches and 1 announcer wearing Breitlings during the past games.

I am going to an even for the 49ers version this weekend. It's too big for me but they look fun

The thought crossed my mind to buy one as I’m such a bills fan but couldn’t do it. The NY boutique was very friendly as you’d expect.

Well, think of Rolex.
Releases become available months after introduction.

I guess they are having some issues with a few of the team editions.

They mistakenly placed the Bills logo wide right for some reason, no one knows why.

Also they are having movement issues with the Cowboys edition. I’ve read that it keeps perfect time for around 17 weeks, then just completely stops working.

Of all the logos I've seen on watches, buying one with an NFL team logo is about the last thing I'd ever consider.

I agree. The logos did not look good to me and in my opinion it cheapens the brand.

But at 104 per team they stand a chance of selling out and bringing more customers to the brand.

Players and staff will probably buy most of them. Pretty good way get young people in the US into breitling imo.

BTW they did this with 6 nations rugby teams 2 years ago. Pretty cool then too. Wales one was the best I thought, and I’m Scottish!

A friend of mine wanted one for his fav team.

He went to the AD. They told him he would need to be "considered" for it through inquiry.

He left the store and immediately ordered one from his phone via Breitling.com

Got in two days.

Hard for AD's to play the "exclusivity" game when the brand has an E-commerce platform with available inventory.

I wish he wouldn’t have left the store…

He should have done right there. Maybe even have the SA read the three digit code on the back of his credit card while your friend enters it in.
