Firstly Hello, and a very good morning to you all and I'll be grateful for your help...

I bought a Colt Chrono A73380 in 2008. Was a treat to myself, looked after it, loved it. Sadly in 2011 we fell into financial hardship and I had to let it go. Sold it on eBay to Mark Worthington Jewellers. Got a fair enough price but selling it broke my heart and I've missed it ever since. I've always wanted a nice watch and whilst I'll probably never be able to afford a Rolex (would I want one even?) my Colt was perfect for me.

Anyway... 2014 - We're in a much better place financially and I want it back! I have been dabbling in a few auctions on eBay but keep getting messed about / played with false bids upping the price.

All I want is a blue faced Colt A73380 with a box and papers. Have been looking on watchfinder and other sites but cannot find anything. It's got to the stage where I'll gladly order European (pick up) if I can get one... I'm in England, UK btw.

... any help appreciated!?

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

You can try a wtb ad in the sales section here and other forums, otherwise it's patience on eBay and Chrono24.

Thanks a lot for this. Amazingly I hadn't heard of Chrono24. I have found a watch in Holland which I am quite interested in, they are a trusted seller...

All ok ordering from the site? I'm guessing it's a site people have used a bit in the past?

No problems with the site, as anywhere buy the seller not the watch, and don't put too much faith in 'trusted seller' status, it basically means they pay their bills on time and have been around for a few months.
