You see a fair few pieces directly from BUSA for various reasons - no cause for concern.

thats a watch an employee bought from breitling for personal use during their october special, they are instructed specifically not to sell it, and this is blatant and obvious, he even posted the s/n! if busa sees this, he could screw it for all of us. stupid move

do they have these "specials" a few times a year? or unlimited? i believe the same seller has been selling them before.

AD staff purchases are not the only reason why pieces have BUSA stamps, that simply means that it was never assigned to an AD. If they are selling multiple items it probably is an AD promo thing, but not guaranteed.

I hate it when people do things like that as they ruin it for everyone else. It sounds like Breitling makes a nice gesture towards employees and this dude is abusing that gesture. :(

just think of how much he is actually paying for it!! imo hes not going thru the hassle of re selling to make $100. if i was a betting man i would argue hes probably purchasing it for at least $500 less than than what he has it listed for? im not looking to confirm my opinion... just sayin

I'm sure he's making bank, especially given the risk...I mean, from Breitling's standpoint, it's a nice gesture that also increases publicity of their watches in their showrooms. But when people do this, they completely abuse a privilege as there is no requirement for Breitling to do this as I doubt many other companies do. IMO, its unethical and I would not ever patronize an authorized dealer who I knew does this as it shows the person is willing to cheat.
