The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all,

This is my first post here. I fell in love with Breitling some time ago and especially the B01 last year.

I am going to New York later this year and have decided I will buy one if my economy allows. I would like the steel case, Onyx black dials and a black croco strap. Can anyone tell me what the US retail price is (I cant find it in the pricelist on this site) and does anyone have any experience at what price/discount I can expect ?

Something like this

If you also can recommend an authorized seller in New York that would be superb.

Thanks a lot for your help

Just need to add some more information. I ofcouse also need a watch for my wife and was thinking about a Chrono Cockpit like this



Can you help me with US retail and expected/reasonable price if we buy both watches ?

Once again thank you.

Welcome to the board. The B01 is a difficult watch to come by right now. If it were me, I'd search Breitling's website for AD's in New York. I'd proceed to call each one of them and see if they have your desired color combo in stock, or if they can get it for you before you arrive. Unless more than one AD has the B01 you want and you're able to put them into a price war, I wouldn't expect much of a discount.

My B01 with a bracelet was $7600; a strap would be a little less. Mine was purchased back in July two weeks after the US unveiling of the watch, so I didn't stand a chance at getting a discount. I can't recall any B01 owners on the board mentioning any deep discounts at the time of their purchase, which has been more recent than mine.

If you're going to purchase your wife a watch at the same time you buy a B01, that may change the AD's pricing scheme a little . . .

B01 discounts are available to the same extent as other models, you just may need to wait for the particular model you want.

Same advice as is always given for US buyers - PM jnelson3097 for contact details of George at Govberg.
