Can you guys help me to find a watch in EU

[By-Tor]

Yeah, I just recently bought a black SFSO rep.

It's amazingly nice rep and I'm probably going to keep it for good... but the thing is... I prefer the blue dial and I want a gen of this watch anyway. I don't fear about getting "called out" or any of that stuff... the rep is amazingly close. But I want all my favorite models as gens.

There are lots of US-based sellers and the preowned prices of this model vary between $1100 - $1500. From EU I have only found SFSO's from places like Blowers Jewelers with a laughable price tag, like 2000$+ for preowned ones. They're laughable because the retail price of this watch isn't much more than that.

I want it shipped from EU because I can make the Euro/EU payment from my bank, and I don't want the 22% extra vat that comes with the foreign shipments (from US, etc.)

I'm willing to pay $1500 with a bank wire right now if only someone found me a blue Fish in good condition (with paperwork). I only need the paperwork because it'll be easier to resell with it (though I doubt I'll be selling any of my gens, ever). I've already bought 2 gens through this forum (Bond Seamaster and Aquaracer Chrono) so I'm trying my luck again.

Please keep your eyes open for me.

Thanks guys.

PS: Not interested in the 42mm model with polished middle links. Only this particular model (pictured below). Arrow hand, square hand... doesn't matter.

Great choice! You will love the Gen.

Here is mine in a couple of strap flavors. Wear the Pro 2 bracelet mostly.

@Sixx: Thanks man, appreciated.

@Bike Mike: That's the exact watch that I want. Black is nice but I'm a sucker for blue dials.

Consider my eyes peeled.

Me too. I really like Breitlings blue dials. Have a Blue Baton SA as well. Also a SOSF in silver. Just waiting for the B01 in Blue w/ Silver Subdials to hit my AD.

Thanks, all.

I'm in Scandinavia (EU).

Official reseller prices are one thing but between the private watch collectors, preowned blue X-Plus XXL should be $1500 - $1550 max (in great condition). I've seen very good ones go for as low as $1.1K in TZ and WUS. Actually I saw the 42mm version for $990 last week. $2000 is just ridiculous. But I'm not El Cheapo... I don't care about a few bucks if the watch & seller are good.

Frank,

I found that too. That's crazy expensive.

They sold a similar one (black, on a rubber strap) in WUS just recently for $1000. Of course that's new and it's naturally more expensive... preowned is the way to go.

But thanks mate, much appreciated.

My friend, I live 20 miles from blowers and deal quite regularly with them and will be there on Saturday and see if I can work you a deal!

Would be amazing.

Blowers is expensive though. But they're very good and reliable. A good one for $1600 with papers is probably ok. I can make a EU-payment (bank wire) no problem. Blue versions aren't as common as black though... let's keep our fingers crossed.
