Whooosh! You're asking for a lot of info there.

The AD question: If you are buying from an AD then it's going to be genuine. No AD in their right mind would sell you a fake.

The price: I'm not sure what you are expecting to pay but don't pay the asking price, as many AD's will negotiate. Aim for 20% off and if your AD won't budge then go elsewhere.

More info: May I suggest you browse this forum. There's plenty of info to find if you have a little patience.

You: Please tell us more about yourself including your wrist size (this is a big watch) and of your previous experience with Breitlings (or other quality watches). Also, your approximate location as other forum members might be able to recommend a good AD nearby.

The watch: This is the "exact" watch I'm wanting to buy and am currently saving for. I will be interested to hear more from you about your experiences. And don't forget to post some good photos when you buy it.

Good luck!

Agreed, if you're buying from an AD it will certainly be real. You should get the watch, the spare links after it has been sized properly, inner leather case, inner box, outer box, warranty card, COSC, manual, AD leaflet, hangtag, manual for the slide rule. Depending on where you live you also might get a few freebies. And you really should get a big smile and congratulations from the sales person.

I really like the 6.75, but I guess you can tell that from my signature, and even if it is a big watch it feels more slim than the SA. It's not as deep (or fat) as the SA. I love the big date complication and also the color of the date font, black with a small reddish touch. The speed bracelet is really nice, but in my opinion it could be a few mm wider like the Navi Montbrillant Legende. The case is also great and the bezel really catches and reflects a lot of light. The back with the spokes is not at all uncomfortable as some might think. All in all - a great watch! :)
