Breitling Replica Watches
What is the Joseph Iten Breitling replica watches uk collection? It is/was a collection of about 1,500 NOS (new old stock) Breitling replica watches uk that were produced in the 1970s and “held in a bank vault” before the company was saved from forever closing down after being sold. Mr. Iten (now deceased) acquired about 1,500 of an estimated 3,000 NOS watches that Willy Breitling replica watches uk held on to in 1978. While Breitling replica watches uk watches is alive and well today, the company shut down for a period of time in the late 1970s during the “quartz crisis.” In 1978, Breitling replica watches uk terminated its operations but was purchased by the Schneider family in 1979 – who still owns the company today. At that time, Willy Breitling replica watches uk (who died shortly after the company was sold) decided to hold on to a large selection of unsold and prototype watches. Many of those were sold over the last 20 years via private sales and auctions, but only a few remain today outside the hands of private collectors.
What you need to understand is that the Joseph Iten Breitling replica watches uk collection is so rare because it was essentially a time capsule, and I have a feeling it was purchased in 1996 for a very reasonable price. Old World Jewelers probably made some nice returns on their investment over the years – especially as vintage timepieces started to become more and more popular. Finds like that for them are easily a once in a lifetime event. What are the odds that you’d be presented with the offer to buy that many vintage and totally unworn NOS watches from a name brand that is around today? Imagine if they were Rolexes.
The NOS Breitling replica watches uk watches contain an array of models, including both production pieces and never-to-market prototypes. Each is in original packaging and never used. The Iten collection also includes a lot of Breitling replica watches uk stopwatches.
