The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I was really waiting for Ricardo to post his write up, he took notes and pics throughout the day.

Briefly, we were treated to a wonderful three course lunch in a private room. The BUK MD had bought some LE watches with him, which were discussed at length before and over lunch. Then onto the service centre, which is new, light, airy and lots of wood. It has amongst others, a workshop, polishing room, training room, canteen, seminar/presentation area with a view down into the workshop. The service centre manager gave a short presentation and a tour of the building chatting to the guys in each department as we went. We left at about 5pm, after my mate had bought himself a LE B01!

The new facility will enable them to turn around service/repairs much more efficiently.

A great day enjoyed by all, BUK were very generous with their hospitality and time.

Thanks to Alex, Andrew and Sam Michaels and all at BUK.

A fantastic day, as Freon Warrior says. The trip was a real insight into what happens when our watches are sent away for a service. The site has 47 watchmakers working on around 90-100 watches arriving everyday. Everyone i saw working there was wearing a Breitling which says a lot about the brand.
No doubt Ricardo will post when he has time as he wrote everything down.
Many thanks to Mr Franz La Rosee the managing director of Breitling U.K, Andrew and Sam from Andrew Michaels Jewellers, And all the very helpful staff for making a very enjoyable and instructive day . And not forgetting Alex for organising and also missing the day Get better soon !! Thanks to Breitling also for the "swag bag" which was much appreciated.

A swag bag. Go on then. Tell us what was in it. Make us jealous.

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay.

I have written the (lengthy ) report. I thought it was only courtesy to send it to the guys at the service centre first for their appraisal and to correct any mistakes.

So, hopefully later today, I will post the report, complete with pictures.

Needless to say, though, it was a truly memorable day. Everyone who can get to the Service Centre in the UK should go. You would not be dissapointed. My opinion of Breitling as a brand has increased even further because of this.

i've just had an Email from Paul at the service centre. He will review my report on Monday.

So, I think I will post it here later, when I get home, and then make any corrections highlighted by Paul as I get them.
