Hello. I am considering purchasing a pre-owned Breitling superocean A17340 from a reputable jeweler. The watch is in excellent condition, maybe a 10 (doesn't appear to have any wear). The watch was purchased from another jeweler or seller. There is no box, paperwork, or history on the watch. I believe the watch is about 15 years old. The watch comes with a one year service warranty from the jeweler which covers mechanical problems in the first year of ownership. The sale price on the watch is $1,350. I am interested in knowing if this is considered a reasonable asking price for a watch of this age and condition. Thanks for your response.

The short answer is probably yes. A good indicator of the market value can be found on eBay, Time Zone, Watchuseek, etc. and SO's of this vintage run anywhere from $1000 -1700 or so. On the high end are examples with all boxes, books and papers as well as a recent service. The warranty of one year adds some value but Breitling does not sell parts to anyone, so any repair that may be needed will not be done with OEM bits. Were it me, and I have owned several SO's in the past, I would factor in about $500 for a full service down the road from Breitling. That era Breitling is stoutly made and you may have no issues at all for years; wears very nice as well...
