Great forum......very informative....in the market for my first Breitling........I have admired them for a number of years, and I am finally ready to purchase.

I have to admit being a bit turned off by the process so far.
A friend set me up with a local brick and mortar jeweler (not an AD) and I had a really bad experience. Quoted a good price for a Steelfish blue dial, dropped off a deposit, was waiting for a call to come pick it up, three weeks passed with no info and un-returned calls, was finally told that the watch had been discontinued and was now unavailable.
Started to think of different models and got the same run around....so just collected my $ and forgot about this guy.
Now I can not locate a blue Steelfish anywhere locally. Quite possible the three week delay really killed my chances of getting this timepiece.
I have really started to get attached to the Seawolf so started my search for that now, but a lot of local AD's seem to want retail or close.

Any advice from seasoned vets would be appreciated. Thanks.
