The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I'm a long time reader but just joined since I need help with a new purchase. I have owed a E13360 for about 7 years; now that I am out of the military, i have been looking for my second Breitling.

About a week ago there was a Groupon for 4 Breitling models. I wasn't crazy about buying from them but with their free 14 day returns I figured why not. I ordered the Montbrilliant (BTA2133012-G518SS) for USD 5,769.99 plus local tax. It arrived today and would like the forums help to see if it is real and if a good price.

I'm not an expert and to me everything looked legit. The only two concerns were a) the serial number on the certificate is on a label (my E13360 was in a grey box), b) there was no warranty documentation.

I have linked some photos, please tell me what you think.

It's real. The lack of a warranty probably means that it was sold grey market (i.e. not an AD.)

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

Thank you very much.

Does anyone know if the price I paid is worth not having a warranty; would it be better to go through an AD?

That price is probably a bit lower than you would get from an AD on bracelet, but not dramatically so. Personally a sponsor AD and a warranty would be more appealing.

There are a couple AD here in Chicago, I will visit them this week. Thanks for the info.

Try the forum sponsors as well. Contact jnelson3097 (who is close to you) for conact details of Govbergs in PA or FEAR for Provident in FL.

I sent him a PM, Thanks.

Hi there, have the same watch, just a different dial -beautiful piece!!!!

Saving money on the grey market only really matters if you intend to on-sell the watch in the first 2 years (warranty period). If you bought the watch to keep, the warranty usually doesn't mean that much. After all, Breitling does have their quality control under control.

I say enjoy & wear with pride, you've earned it!
