Hello,

I am hoping someone can help me? I am totally new to this site and am trying to locate a specific watch as a gift but am afraid know very little about Brietling watches. As a special gift I am trying to locate the above watch type (Chronomat A13350, Dial reference A352) for a dear friend who due to very sad circumstances no longer has their original.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of where (if at all possible) I can purchase this watch, I am unsure if this can still be purchased new or if I will be able to get a second hand one.

Any advice at all would be really appreciated as the watch was very special and would mean a lot if we can locate another.

Many thanks in advance for any help at all in locating this
regards
Sharron

That's a fairly old watch and now only available used. Best bet is to search ebay and chrono24.com on a regular basis.

Welcome aboard.
Are you sure it's not A532?
Don't have dial color reference for 13350, but 13352 white dial has A532 ref#.

Didn't even check the dial code originally, but yes, I think it should be 532 as well.

Hi,

Thanks for all your replies, when we enquired with Brietling they were able to tell us the watch was shipped to the UK from Switzerland in 2000 and they quoted the reference numbers above. I have checked and they have put dial reference as 352. It is a white dial and the three inner dials are blue. I have uploaded a picture (but not sure this has worked on this site) they provided to us when we asked for confirmation of the reference numbers so we could try and locate. Do you think they misprinted the reference numbers? There is also Breitling Chronomat Automatic printed on the dial to the right of the middle inner dial

Might be the right ref#, if the subs are blue (A532 is white with white subs).
This is your watch... http://images.europeanwatch.com/images/13/13624-1.jpg

Yes ! that is the one, thank you so much for your help. Do you have any other suggestions on tracking one down for sale? I have had a response from watches.co.uk who say they will let me know if one comes in but if you have any other suggestions or places I could try then it would be really helpful as getting one is really important.

Thanks again
Sharron

As Roff suggested, ebay and chrono24.com are your best choices beside watches.co.uk.
You can also try watchfinder.co.uk.
When you find it, check here before you buy it.
Good luck.

Thanks this is great, have just been on and had a look and would like to purchase the one with the stainless steel strap - I have made an enquiry on line but they are in the netherlands and so can I be assured it is authentic, it seems to be I think they are a jewellers shop? The will hopefully come back to me on payment by credit card and other info I asked but any thoughts on whether it is authentic and good value would be greatly received.
thanks again
Sharron

It's real, and the seller is identified as a Chrono24 trusted seller. The price isn't great though, so negotiate.

Again very helpful, thanks for all your help. Shop have confirmed price and advised I have to pay by bank transfer in euro as they will not accept credit card. Just going back to them on negotiation - any advice on a reasonable proposal for price?, they are asking for £1850? Any advice welcome
thanks all
Sharron

Both are overpriced.
I don't think that haggle will work out.
If you are not in a hurry, soon or a later you'll find a better deal on ebay.
