Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a nice used Emergency and don't like idea of buying online without seeing or inspecting the watch first. Being based in Ireland means my options to do this are very limited but I travel to New York frequently on business. Can anyone suggest anywhere in NYC that I could go and look at a selection of used Breitlings?

Cheers,

Anthony.

Hi Anthony, I know you have stated used but if this helps because of sales tax in NY I bought my SA new from Govbergs in Philadelphia they couriered to my hotel saving $$ sales tax on NY and many £££ on UK plus a good discount on rrp. not sure of tax in Ireland but I highly recommend this option as George in Govbergs was super! (it's got to be worth a call)

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, the reason I mentioned used is because it's specifically an Emergency that I want and as far as I understand they are now discontinued.

Do Govberg's also sell used watches? I'll be in Philadelphia next week so maybe I should go and visit them anyway....

FYI - If buy from Govberg's while in NY, you won't pay PA sales tax. If you go to Govberg's and buy, you will pay PA sales tax.
