Savvy Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Posted March 28, 2006 Nothing beats the genuine - only the price... I've saved substantially though by purchasing it on the gray market
thedoctor Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 That's an awesome watch! If I ever buy another genuine, that's what I'm going to get. I think it looks better than a Daytona.
Bignasty Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Beautiful watch. Always wanted one. If only there were some decent reps of these out there. Wear it well! Jon
gpuck Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I am usually not a big fan of Gold watches but that one looks great. I love the blue and the gold together. wear it well, Gpuck
mysql Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I've saved substantially though by purchasing it on the gray market Now I'm curious - how good a deal was it?
Savvy Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Posted March 28, 2006 Now I'm curious - how good a deal was it? Authorized Dealer = $6,330.00 Gray Market = $4,500.00 Totally brand new (not refurbished or B-stock) with all accessories except manufacturer's chronometer certificate (although certificate of authenticity is included with 3 yr. warranty). Serial # on caseback still engraved and unaltered. Pretty good, don't you say??

Serial # on caseback still engraved and unaltered. Pretty good, don't you say?? Very good. Most jewlery shops sell items for double what they pay for it, so the pricing isn't suprising. Unfortunately for me, that price range is close to what it'll cost for a turbo kit installed on my RX-8, so it's not in my future
pizzanooo Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Not having much in the past to do with Breitling, this one is sweet. Thanks buddy, now I have another watch to think about.
Guest jdmdohcpower Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 The evo is my fave watch, Im not one for the TT but my friend has the SS with MOP dial and he had the bezel polished which I think makes the watch. I love it and if he didnt have it I would.
Richard Tracy Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 Absolute Dream Watch.. I think I may get back into Gens.. well just this one.. Unless I can find an accurate rep...

Serial # on caseback still engraved and unaltered. Pretty good, don't you say?? Good deal, but you don't have to pay the list price through an authorized dealer. I was looking at this exact watch at my local Breitling dealer (in a local mall) about two weeks ago and she offered to sell it to me for $5,064 (20% discount.) Not that I had $5K, but some day I might like to buy a gen. I wonder if it might not have been worth the extra $500 to have the manufacturer's warranty; I assume you don't?

I don't have the manufacturer's international warranty, but I have the gray market's 3 year warranty. I am completely satisfied with that since I just reside in the U.S. So $1830 ... or $500 is worth the savings to me.
