The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi,
New member to this forum and I would like some advice. I have the opportunity to buy a Breitling SuperOcean limited edition (Sky Marshall) watch for £1000. This is being sold as in new condition. I believe in the provenance of the watch but wonder whether this is a good price?? I have looked online at prices and it does seem to be a good deal. Would this watch hold its price?
If you need any further info please let me know.
Thanks in anticipation.

Welcome to the forum Peter.

My rule of thumb is to take 40% off the current list price on a new watch for an "as new" used watch under 12 months old so £1000 looks OK, even if it's slightly more than 12 months old. Limited editions do not usually command any premium. Indeed, a squadron motif on a dial can reduce the price as the number of potential buyers is probably less than for a plain dial.

With very few exceptions (rare Pateks or Rolex), you should not buy a watch as an investment but if you keep it in pristine condition, you should be able to get back roughly what you paid for it.
