WITHDRAWN - off to the 'bay... :roll:

I recently picked up some New, Old Stock Breitling straps, direct from an Authorised Dealer. They are new and unused, though they are old stock - my jeweller thinks they probably date back 10 years or so. They have the older style 'impressed stamp' Breitling logo on the buckle, rather than the newer 'raised' logo. However, they are in perfect condition, having been stored in my jewellers stockroom for some time!

This one is going spare. It's a New Breitling Croco Watch Strap, in a lovely British Racing Green, fitted with a Highly Polished Steel Breitling tang Buckle, with the original impressed Breitling logo. The strap is thickly padded, and has Breitling's trademark white stitching detail.

It's the 18mm 18-16 version, which fits most of the Colt Models: The Colt Quartz (1995-2001), Colt Quartz SQ, Colt Automatic (1992-2005), Chrono Colt Ocean, Chrono Colt Quartz, Chrono Colt Quartz SQ, Colt Military PVD. It also will fit the new Galactic 36 Automatic range, the Chrono Jetstream, the Chrono Sextant, the Callisto (all models), and quite a lot of the Vintage Breitling models - basically any with an 18mm lug fitting.

The current retail price for a Breitling Crocodile Strap with Tang Buckle is an eye-watering £480 here in the UK. As this strap is old stock, and has the older style 'impressed' tang buckle, I'm going to let it go at an absolute bargain £120 - so that's £360 less than you would pay at an Authorised Dealer! I'll even include Signed-For UK postage in the price! Overseas, add £5 for Tracked, Insured shipping.

If you wished to replace the 'old style' buckle with the newer 'Raised logo' version, they are available at around £40, so you'd still be saving around £320 on the suggested Retail price.

I've loads of Feedback on here, I'm a 'Top Rated' e-bay seller (2100+ deals, 100%, username 'goonermike'), and I've got plenty of Feedback on TZ-UK (username BigBird), so there are no worries there.

I'd prefer BT. PayPal if absolutely necessary, but I cannot accept PayPal Gifts (my account just won't accept them, and I get charged even on gifts - they're trying to sort it out). So if you want to use PayPal, it'll be via the 'official' route, and you'll need to add 3.4% to cover Fees.

If I've missed anything, you'd like more info or pics, please feel free to PM me.

Cheers!
