Do we know which watch shop they went to? I'm always looking at Bryan's watch in the IG's pic (because I have so many watches).

Could this be watchgate??

There's this one, and the one which was posted today? I forget the name of the lapel place. I'm pretty sure he had a big watch on.

Posted June 1.  Same watch.

GuardianAngel wrote:@sdmom Good catch, that is different. I don't remember the lapel IG username. I need to step away for a bit. If someone remembers, please post it so we can compare the watch with the baby and the watch posted by the lapel guy.

I know we had some pics of Rachel in front of a beautiful car, was that in Geneva or was that another date that was confirmed? If we can find that watch in a Geneva watch shop it would be a #miracle !

#Watchgate?

But before I got too excited, let me post another pic from January, pre-filming, filming, it's hard to see, but is that the same watch?

I don't see the actual watch in their inventory (I might have overlooked) but I took a SC showing their ad. It looks very similar IMO. Black background, three white circles, black band with White threading.

ETA: I found the watch from the ad. Source

Here's the closeup of the watch. It's a Breitling. To buy it online costs 7600 CHF, roughly 7900 USD. That's a pricy gift to give someone that's not f1 IMO. Source

My SCs

Bringing over from the SC thread. Rachel appears to be wearing a watch with a similar band during their upcoming date.

GuardianAngel wrote:
Great! You have all been busy, sorry I had to leave but all I could think of was the watch and I wanted to get it here before I left! As soon as I saw the write up in the epi thread, my brain went into a fuzzy tither. Did we know they went to a watch shop? I didn't remember that. Because I looked at his watch so many times, wondering what kind it was, when I saw the article, yikes!. Also, when quickly searched Geneva Watches, a store came up that looked like a s/cap we were trying to sleuth the location, I could be wrong I was in a hurry.

The pic in Pann restaurant, the watch has a black face to me. What I noticed is he has a couple of different watches pre filming, but post filming he's wearing the same one. I also looked at his limo pic, and that watch appears too thin.

Check out his watch while during filming. It's not the same as what he was wearing post filming either.

are u referring  to this one ?

makeover wrote:Rachel's watch in their 2nd date screen cap definitely has the same strap style as the current watch Bryan is wearing. The only difference is the face (hers is white, smaller and more lady like). Cute if they got couple watches on the date.

In her airport photo, it is harder to see what she is wearing unless someone has a better quality pic.

GuardianAngel wrote:@SelmaHB Yes that's it! TY. It looks the same but I'm not convinced. Now I'm wondering if the car in front of the watch shop go together as per @Seabear. If that's the watch shop.

The airport watch to me has the same stitching. When I enlarge the pic I can see the stitching. The clasp part would be twisted. I have a lot of watches, embarrassed to say how many, and I don't wear mine tight, so they sometimes spin around.

What caught my eye is he always wears the same watch post filming. Clearly prior to filming and during filming he has worn a few different ones but not that one. If they got matching watches, regardless of who paid for it, and they are both wearing them, to me that is a huge clue. If I was F2 and I liked the watch, I wouldn't wear it everyday especially when I have several other watches.

That looks like the claps part. Her fingers are stretched out, you can see the palm of her hand. The clasp part should be moved to the right of us in order for the face to be in the right position. If we can find that watch, and get a pic of the clasp that would confirm it.

Very interesting caption too by MF... "ride to love" and date with Bryan. Could be like Millsy said in that podcast that Rach was falling in love by then and with Bryan?

We just need to find Rachels watch.

There is a Breitling Boutique in Miami.

mindless wrote:There's an option of a folding clasp on the Breitling site, which it would have to be if she's wearing it in the airport pic. I'm just not sure if the dimensions make sense, since it seems so wide. Could just be the movement of her hand blurring it though.

I've (briefly) checked just about every interview Rachel's done post-show and haven't been able to find the watch   (though IMO the outfits she's worn in most interviews wouldn't have looked great with it, so I'll just assume that's why).

Still checking tagged IG photos. If you wear it, I will find it, Rachel. Also plz wear it.

I have been checking around as well, I noticed she is not really a watch wearer she seems to like her rings/bracelets/bangles..

Here are a few photos I grabbed of Rachel pre-bachelorette season and work:  Looks like she does wear watches, too.

Here is the watch that IMO Rachel chose at Breitling. It is the Galactic 32 Sleek Edition. Same band style as Bryan's watch but a different sleeker case/face style.

Rachel's watch is at the top and Bryan's watch is at the bottom IMO. Both watches are from Breitling. Same bands but different watch styles.

@sdmom, was it you who asked Rachel to re-wear the watch? I can't remember. Funny that it's shown up again.

GuardianAngel wrote:@pavalygurl IA and I realize it's all about promoting their products, but I was curious if they will show Bryan getting his gift on the pretense that Rachel gifted him with it, and she does not get a watch for herself, where it appears she did.

AllAboutLove wrote:Thanks Rach for wearing the watch and IMO in response to @sdmom's request 

Also,   Bryan in case you're reading here (IMO yes). The new IG profile pic is a vast improvement and thanks for that as it was one of my earlier requests posted since I thought it should be changed because the other one made you look like Josh M (not a good thing, IMO) and as posted then I don't think it's an accurate representation. The new one is much better, IMO
