Well I think the last time I posted was a year ago. Although I haven't been posting I log on almost everyday to read posts and news. I'm back posting because I'm dedacated to saving for a Breitling. I sold a few watches and keep putting money away. I had a question, I'm saving up for 4500 give or take. I'm looking at a new SA white baton dial, used 6.75 or used motor white dial. If I was looking for a new 6.75 or motor what is a good price from an AD? Or am I better off going used. Thanks for taking the time to read guys.

You should be able to get to 25% or so in the US. PM jnelson3097 for contact details of George at Govberg (a forum sponsor) or contact FEAR for Provident Jewellers and both can give you a quote.

Do you think it's worth going new over used for the price? I dont know if I can spend 7 grand. If going new might go with the SA.

That's personal choice - only you can decide whether owning a new watch is worth the premium.

Try them both on and see which one 'speaks' to you louder.

I have both and love em both. I was thinking about selling my 675. It's silver on a bracelet and I will sell for 4800. That's pretty cheap for a silver face. The blue and bronze gomalittle cheaper but the silver and black go about 5 ish

Anyway not to hijack, but a new one lists for almost 9k so you are gonna save like 2k even off a great deal on a new one. I rarely buy new, inlet somebody else takenthe depreciation hit.

Superavengers won't drop as drastic, a new one will cost you under 4k and will fall to 3. Not as bad.

Ok now I'm rambling, too many crown and cokes after dinner, to sum up, if you want a 675, go used. Superavenger, go new. Either way i can hook you up :lingsrock:

Yeah that's what I can't choose new SA or used 6.75/motor. I'm really anal about used watches having to be close to mint
