I like Breitling (have 3 pieces myself), but a sportwatch with diamonds all over isn't really for me I am affraid.
Did you buy it? |

Great concept. Can be spotted from miles away, in case the transmitter fails.
Is it true that you have to sign a declaration some sort that you may have to cover the cost of a rescue, if you happen to activate the beacon without an emergency... or something like that? |

im not sure, but i know it has to be registered who ever owns it, and if you pull the seal on the antenna its something like another 10k to put back to original state. so you can imagine how careful i was with it. also can't believe it has 3 batteries and there is only one guy that can service it throughout the eu |

I'd take the money and run too. The resale on beetling, let alone a Christmas tree special - is awful.

In all honesty a diamond or 50 could come in handy for barter or slowly cutting your way through some rusty cell bars or some other things I cannot fathom at the moment.
Oh and tell him to take that 25K Pounds and thank the gentleman profusely for buying it. |

i do agree with all the comments. its one of them sort of watches where you either love it or hate it. wonder if any experts can chime in on this, this watch is made to a limited number of 25. but I've also seen the same watch with a limited number of 10, strange
