They are real and if you use the search function you will find quite a few threads - good and bad.

You'll need a UK memebr to confirm duties / taxes, but I believe it will add around 20% or so.

Also remember that there is no Breitling warranty.

I purchased a Pro II Ti bracelet from them a month or so back and can confirm they are legit. They ship with FedEx - on the declaration form they had declared the value as $500 as opposed to $599 (which was decent of them) I was charged something like £55 iirc...£10 of which was a handling charge. It was purely Tax, and with no duty. They give you up to a month to pay...I think.

And illegal!

Though if you didn't know then you have no liability.

Same thing happened with me - they heavily undervalued the package without my knowledge. They claimed the value to be something like 10% of the actual value.

No problems with them at all...

Purchased a titanium ProII from them on a Saturday and had it by Monday morning. Free overnight shipping and great communication from them. Can't really speak of resolution of any problems as I had none.
