Okay heres the deal. I have found a Skyland A11380 with black face/ Pro II bracelet with box and papers. The watch looks to be in excellent condition. He claims to have purchased it from a friend a few months back, and claimed the friend had it serviced last summer. He and this "friend" are now just acquaintances that no longer speak. He is unsure of where the Breitling was serviced but thinks it was at Breitling Flagship on 5th Avenue in NY, and he does not have a receipt. He has 100% positive feedback but I am still weary about buying a watch without service receipts. He is asking $2,750 shipped. Is this a good deal? |

FAQs recommend checking dealer asking prices on Chrono24 and completed sales on eBay. However, if the model number really is A11380 you should avoid it, the correct model number is A13380/ |

Check that the serial number on the case back matches the paperwork,in particular, the warranty card. Also, if it was serviced thru breitling, the warranty card should be stamped with the date it was serviced. Not all people remember to have this done but worth asking. IIRC, the stamp looks like a round post office stamp with the authorised branch location and date, with a wet signature. Personally I think his story sounds a little contrived and I'd be weary of something fishy going on. |
