Good evening,

I have the opportunity to purchase a pre owned navitimer montbrilliant special edition (black dial) for $3500. The watch is in excellent condition, and is authentic. It has the stainless bracelet, but no box/papers. Does this sound like a fair price for this watch? It has a 44mm case...the watch is a year old.

Thanks!
Brett

I am assuming it is the Montbrillant 47 Limited Series of 2000.
The only problem that I see with that particular model (other than the 47mm size for me) is the integrated bracelet with the case.
This means that you will be limited to that bracelet only, no option to fit straps.
As much as you might think now that the bracelet is perfectly fine and you will not be bothered with leather straps, there is a high probability that later on you will want to do so. I know, I felt like that initially as well.
Although bracelets will always be my first choice, I do swap with different straps quite often. It adds to the variety and it is like wearing a different watch.
As for the pricing, we do not give price advise here. Your best bet is to do a search for completed auctions on ebay to get an idea for what the market is willing to pay.
Another option is a search on Chrono24 site but keep in mind that these are asking prices, mostly used dealer asking prices which do not state what the watches are actually going for.
Other than that, it's a great watch and if the 47mm size is fine for you - all the best.

My Montbrillant 47 just came to the AD today. I am going to go pick it up wednesday. I can't wait. Its my first Beitling. I paid 5985* us new if that helps.

I haven't seen many people with it or have even seen it in person. How does it look in person?

edited with my final price - picked it up yesterday
