Hi Guys,

Looking to buy my first Breitling, will be significant upgrade from my Longines LungoMare! I have my heart set on Colt II Automatic with black face and metal bracelet. Have looked at the local Goldsmiths and Beaverbrooks (I am based in Devon, UK) and they will not budge below £1600, however I have found the watch online for £1150 delivered with a Breitling Warranty here -
http://www.thebrandedwatchcompany.co.uk ... hbrandid=5

I am tempted to order online due to the massive difference in price, however does anyone have any experience with 'The Branded Watch Company' or recommend any alternative sources, or even good dealers willing to give a discount in the Devon area?

Thanks for your help,
John

Try a local family-owned jewelers (if there are any?) as they tend to be more willing to do a deal than a large chain.

Or try Banks Lyon in Lancaster: they deliver and are an AD.

Stick with an AD if you can.

definitely stick with an ad. Breitling does not guarantee or warranty items not purchased through an ad, if a problem arises.

regards and welcome

:yeahthat
With the deals able to be obtained through some of the forum members, going gray market is just too risky. Ask around, there are great prices w/o the risk. :woohoo:
