The Breitling Watch Source Forums

ADs are allowed to discount, only boutiques stick to list price. Grey market dealers like Costco generally don't include the factory warranty to protect the AD who supplied the watch so only replacement should be considered in the case of issues. There are also no guarantee the watch is new vs. a customer or warranty return.

Just got off the phone with Richard (Vicki pointed me to him) at BUSA. According to him, the SOH Chrono with the blue bezel and the SOH Chrono with the green bezel has been discontinued. He had no reason for the decision other than they are discontinued versions of that model.

I don't think Costco sells customer returns, every watch I have purchased from them still had all the factory stickers and protective film on them. I could be wrong though. I do know that their return policy beats any AD hands down so I am not concerned about the warranty.

I must admit, Costco is pretty incredible when it comes to warranty and return policies.

A number of years ago, I flew out to Phoenix, AZ to help a friend move back to Florida. She had some patio furniture she had bought from Costco a year earlier that she didn't want to bring back to Florida. I suggested she sell it before we left but she said she wanted to take it back to Costco and get her money back. I thought she was crazy and that Costco wouldn't take it back. BUT THEY DID TAKE IT BACK and gave her 100% of her money back (she still had her receipt). It convinced me and to this day, I'm still a Costco member.

The model had in stock in the 44 SOH chrono was the blue dial and blue bezel. So, case closed pretty much. Haha. Thanks for checking sir!
