| Post subject: | Is a rubber strap SA cheaper than an SS SA? |
I'm currently shopping around for a Super Avenger. Thing is I want it on the diver pro 2 strap with deployment instead of the SS. I know the SS strap is worth more than the rubber strap. Would if be possible to negotiate a discount if I were to get the AD to change the straps over, and if so, how much more is the SS worth? My AD is willing to give me 15% off the SA with the SS bracelet. |

You should be able to. Breitling prices their watches by the head and the strap. Since the rubber strap is about $400 hundred less than the bracelet it should be cheaper. If you go with the ocean racer or diver pro II on a deployment though it will only save you about $100, that deployment clasp is pretty expensive. I'd have to say though, get what you really want. If you want the bracelet it might be worth saving a little more if that's what it takes to get it. |

I said the rubber deployment isn't much cheaper at all because the pro II is the cheapest racelet |

That whole thread was confusing  Rubber Deployment $410, Pro II Steel $500. Just like Shark said. So.. Should an AD discount you more on one or the other? No. But you will save $90 USD if you go with rubber over Steel. What color SA are you looking for? |

That's what we were saying, just in a much more confusing way. |

OP said that he wanted deployant, which rules out the tang option. The saving would likely be less than $90 because the dollar discount would be higher on the bracelet (same % discount) - for example, using the 15% that the OP mentioned then the SS comes out at $425, the DPII on deployant comes out at $348.50, a saving of $76.50, smaller difference with a larger discount. Either way, to me it is pretty much a wash - if you are spending that much on the watch get the one that you prefer - the cost difference will be irrelevant for 99.9% of the time that you own the watch. |
