Hello everyone, I just visited an AD in my area looking to buy another Breitling. I was quoted $2,200  for a Steelfish with brown smooth leather and deploymnet buckel. What do you guys think of the price. Thanks in advance for the info....
I currently have a Choromat Evo. |

If that's OTD (out the door) it's great. With tang buckle they retail for 26-ish. |

I dont know the retail price for the SOS with deployant, but im guessing about $2800. Dont forget, the deployant buckles are ridiculously expensive. Given my $2800 estimate, $2200 seems okay, though you can probably do a bit better. Somebody with a price list can give you the exact msrp, unless you already have it. |

i think the list is 2.6k 2.2 is not bad (16% off list with no tax?) but i think better can be had, esp with some retailers who have older stock prior to the price increase but i think a lot of haggle is involved this is just my opinion from limited experience |

That would be the retail for the regular tang buckle strap. The deployant is much more expensive. |

List is $2,845 for the Steelfish with leather strap and deployant. $2200 would be approximately 22.5% off the list price which is excellent from an AD. If that includes tax then that would equate to almost 30% off which is a screamin' deal from an AD... |

Thanks in advance for the info....I currently have a Choromat Evo. I never buy local because I don't want to be hit with 7-8% sales tax. I suspect the local ADs are a little cool to me because I look quite a bit but never buy from them. My last Ling purchase was from an out-of-state AD than provided a much larger discount with no haggling and no sales tax. PM me for details. -FLX |

I buy locally because after discount and tax, I end up with a net savings of about 22%, plus I dont have to wait or pay for shipping. They always offer to ship it out of state for me to a friend or family member (which ive considered), but I really just dont like to wait. Plus, you cant really put a value on a relationship with a local AD. |
