The Breitling Watch Source Forums

hi
i am interested in getting this model:

Modèle: CHRONOMAT 01
Ref: IB011012|C790|375C
Boitier: Case two-tone rose gold
Cadran: Dial Metallica Blue
Bracelet: Strap Pilot two-tone

i will travel to las vegas via toronto this weekend. which is the better place to shop for it and can you recommend a dealer ?

Vegas........I wouldnt buy anything high end in Vegas the prices are crazy. Id buy it locally, the CND dollar is high right now and you could most likely get a sweet dealer at an AD in T.O. If you need a good AD in Ontario let me know I have one that gives real good pricing.

You also have to add 18% to the price when you bring it back into Canada (13% HST + 5% import duty).

I have an AD in Toronto that has helped out quite a few Canadian members if you need one.

schedule your delay in Fargo ND they have that one exact, list for 10500 i think but no doubt it will get a lot lower, and Fargo flies direct to Vegas so you could do you international connection there. if you want more info shoot me a PM ill get you what i can.

Still have the import duty / Canadian sales tax issue though unless he breaks the law.

I have never had to pay the Canadian fees, for that matter any duty so the next question is all my mil deployment duty claims only needed to be filled for more than 10g is that how it is for everyone, and what does Canada want duty, and sales tax? I think i'm off anyway i think the one that i am looking at has the gold bezel vrs the two tone bezel i haven't seen the two tone bezel on a two tone strap there.

Canadian exemption is based on how long you are out of the country, but maxes out at around $65. Over that you have to pay sales tax based on your province - as OP states Toronto I assumer that's Ontario so 13%. Swiss watches are subject to import duty, currently at 5% and that's added to sales tax.

I found 3 Breitling dealers in Vegas last month, 8% was the most they would offer. Kept my money for Andrew Michaels.

Doubt you would get a good deal in Vegas.

if you fly to vegas with no watch on, get to vegas, buy one, and fly home with it on your wrist, ho ware they gonna catch that?
you can mail yourself the box, claim it as an empty box for a collection and pay duties on $50 whats the problem?

That's up to the buyer, but.....

It's still illegal.
