    That Aerospace looks like a great deal! In fact all of it does. Makes you wonder why you'd go anywhere else if you wanted to buy a new Breitling, unless you really, really hate the M40!?

    Bit far to pop in but I normally get down there once or twice a year. I wonder if breitling boutique is excluded from the additional 10% off with a vip card.

    I’ll venture down before Christmas I’m sure.

    I imagine you can call and ask them? Most shops seem to operate in the same way ie spend over x amount get an additional 10 - 15% off etc so there may be additional savings. The other watch shops in bicester follow that model so would be surprised if Breitling didnt

    On some - the 'MRP' prices look inflated - e.g. you can buy the Navitimer panda Chrono B01 on croc - for £6,610 direct from Breitling. I haven't checked the others - the Professional range looks a good deal though personally I woudn't touch a B55 due to bad personal experiences. The Aerospace looks a steal.

    The Navi in the pic is actually the Rappentime version though the pic does not say so.

    I visited on Thursday and chatted with the manager - they are only stocking out of production models.

    They have no direct phone number.

    Has this shop just opened? I was there a couple of months ago and Breitling outlet wasn’t there.

    Oooh I’ll have to plan a trip before Christmas. Always like a look around the Tag outlet and the couple of other watch shops there. Definitely need more watch shops.

    They only stock watches so far, but are hoping to be selling straps/bracelets and offer servicing etc in the future apparently.

    It’s no different to Harrods.

    I don’t understand the part about stench of greed and I want to be is everywhere?
    You do remember this is a watch forum whereby we rave about watches that cost thousands?

    Unfortunately for you, a watch has a cost associated with it.

    If you want to express strong views, then do it here and leave the rest of the forums alone. This is not a place for vendettas or personal attacks.

    Come on people - personal attack has no place on WT - go to the Pit if you want to squabble.

    I’m guessing that the sentiment was more around Bicester Village as a whole. I do agree to an extent that it’s a really weird vibe there. Lots of ‘wannabe’ rich people, layered in expensive clothes trying to portray a certain rich and famous lifestyle whilst queuing up for an outlet to open to grab as many pairs of clearance out of season Ralph Lauren items as possible. Lol.

    But i, being a cheap skate not trying to portray being rich, quite like it there.

    RL is always too busy at Bicester.

    I don’t see any difference between buying goods from belstaff, Paul smith etc in Bicester and what we all do which is walk into an AD and if it’s not a
    Rolex ask for a discount.

    Atleast the discount is guaranteed at Bicester you don’t have to haggle. 😊

    I often leave it to spell cheque, but the keyboard sometimes plays up anyway.

    My friend lives just by Bicester Village, and I was complaining about my shoes and they said, there's a couple of shoe shops there, so we went there, found a shoe shop and I bought a pair of shoes I was happy with and then we went somewhere else, probably a pub for lunch, and I left with no sense of having been anywhere particularly unusual, except in the sense of being surrounded by nothing but shops, a sensation also experienced in shopping centres in Beckenham Croydon Milton Keynes and York.

    Bicester North railway station, though, has a chilly microclimate beyond all endurance.

    Apologies. I just took exception to the wording in a previous post, where it seemed it was OK to judge, but not OK to be judged. Looking at later posts perhaps it was just a case of poor wording.
