Hi everyone!,

Sorry if this is an old question as I new to this forum, but my question is, why are the prices so different? I called my AD and ordered a Pro 1 Rubber(the word Breitling., half on each side) for my Steelfish. The cost from my AD was $125. Now I see them online for as much as $475 for the Black with the tang buckle and $345 for the same, but in blue. I see the on the bay for $175 to $225. So why the difference? I always buy from my AD and always get good deal, but would never buy online! Thanks!

You have a great AD he's charging you the same as if you bought the head and strap new at the same time. Nice !!!

Online prices are frequently more expensive than list.

The deployant is where the real expense is.

Your AD is charging you the real price. A lot of people dont know the actual price, so some online sellers basically exploit them and charge outrageous prices.

Thanks Guys, but this is what I thought! I have bought watches from my AD in the past and have always known they were the best! That's why I get everything from them. I just love the whole Breitling line and the great service I get from them! Why go anywhere else! Plus the are sending it to me on FedEx at no charge!

Here my beloved Steelfish and soon to have a nice Pro 1 Rubber Strap for her!

I didn't think you could get them anymore as AD's here in Canada definitely do not have access, same with the Pro 2 brown/bronze.
