I just purchased my chrono super ocean from an AD and, after finding out that the date is enscribed behind the bracelet (3805)85. I think my ling is old(2005) and not new, is there something I should do. I thought I was get a watch from 07/08. |

Erm...complain? I had a similar thing happen to me when I bought my first Breitling at the end of 2006 - I discovered (thanks to this site) that it dated from 2004. It was still a current model, but I admit it p'eed me off a bit to think that it had been in the window all that time. There can be a (normal) delay of anything up to 6 months between when the case was engraved to when the watch is actually in a dealers window. It also depends on how many he has in stock and what his stock rotation is etc. If it's a current model, I wouldn't worry too much - there's little likelyhood that the movement has been working all that time, so in terms of longevity, you shouldn't have too much to worry about - in addition, the guarantee is dated from when you purchased the watch, and not from when the watch was made. |

Do you think I could get some money back, because of the age. I also found a couple of small scratches from having the bracelet taken off and on. |

In the future you can ask for a brand new one ordered in if you don't want a display model... then it will likely be newer. |
