| Post subject: | Chronomat 41 and some AD's |
I am currently seeking a Chronomat 41 in the blackeye grey dial. I think this size fits my wrist much better than the 41 does. I have looked around some AD's around the SLC area where I'm moving to, and some won't budge an inch from the MSRP, citing 'well it is a breitling'. However I read that people around the forums get up to 20% off the MSRP. Is there a tactic to use in this situation? Should I be calling AD's in other areas of the country to see what they can do? Thanks! Vandy |

Assuming SLC = Salt Lake City, so assume that you are US based. There are two US based AD sponsors - contact jnelson3097 for Govbergs and FEAR for Provident. Either of them will be able to help you out. |

What on earth is WRONG with some ADs?!? No we won't discount, "After all it IS a Breitling." not only is that a stupid statement it cost them a sale. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Will do! yeah, all I've seen is black-eye-blue on rubber (nope!) and a silver dial with diamond markers(double nope). looking forward to some pics with other dials. it seems this is my only Breitling option left.

I have seen the 41 in the grey dial in person. I love it. I don't have another grey dialed watch and I didn't like the white subdials on the black dial. I have several 44 mm watches and I don't like the size as much as I used to. My current daily weather is a Sinn 356, which is 38.5 mm. My decision was down to this and the Rolex Milgauss. I think the Breitling has a more 'it' factor and the deal came in below the rolex. |

Looks like a polished bezel with brushed case and bracelet. I'd prefer it all brushed, and sans square dial, but in all, that's the best looking Chronomat 41 I've yet seen. |
