Where can I get a genuine original box

Rennywuk · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 2:31 am

I have just bought my first Ling (1997 Antares World) and absolutely love it. Whilst it came with the papers and travel case it does not have a box.

Where is the best place to get one - I know ebay has many fake ones so I'd rather know I was getting something genuine.

Any suggetions would be really appreciated.

Depending on where you are you may be able to get one from the AD / Breitling distibutor although some countries have stopped supplying them because they end up on eBay. It would also not be a period correct box for a 97 watch, that will have to be eBay or similar.

Thanks Roff,

I called Tunbridge Wells and they will sell one for £40 plus delivery. As you say this will not be the one that would have been originally supplied with the watch.

Talk to the technician that serviced HOF19's Montbrilliant Olympus

Last time is spoke to Breitling about buying a box set, they said they were unable to supply one unless I was able to post an old/broken one back to them. Sonyman will confirm this. We believe it's down to a small minority selling them on eBay for a profit, and/or using them to create a more convincing fake watch 'package'.

Are they just supplying one to you outright the?

Thats right but I have found a freindly UK AD who recently supplied me with a brand new 2001 boxeset for £50, However I would need to ask him first before confirming if he will sell any more, I know he had various kinds and that included older ones.

I have a box with broken hinges, are you saying that an AD in the UK will replace it with a new, new style one free of charge?

Thanks.
