The Breitling Watch Source Forums

hello guys
iam new to this forum and of course goin to buy my 1st bteitling watch.
well love my victorinox and tag.
a certified authorised dealer in usa promised to sell breitling galactic watch 41 in black dial and leather strap in 3850$ US. the original price is somewhat 4555 plus taxes. my questions are:
1) is it a good deal.
2) is galactic 41 is a good style in breitling
3) what other things should i consider before i buy this watch.
plz suggest.

That's about a 15% discount which isn't bad in the US these days - Breitling are clamping down on discounts. If you want to check pricing contact member jnelson3097 for contact details of Govbergs, a forum sponsor that comes highly recommended.

'Good' is subjective, there's nothing about the watch that makes it better or worse than any other Breitling so if it's the one that you like then it's the right one for you. As for other things to consider, not sure what else you are looking for - just be sure to try it on to make sure that the size works and that it looks right on your wrist. If you are buying from an AD you are getting all of the papers so nothing to worry about there.

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

Thanks

IMO I think the best thing to do is try to find 5-6 watches in the price range that you are willing to spend and line them up and see which one you think looks the best.

This will give you an idea of what your money is buying you an options at that level. You really need to compare apples to apples.

I just bought my 1st breitling
Galactic 41. It's a great feeling can't take my eyes off the time . Lol
My time is precious now

Congrats. I think this is probably Breitling's most sensible mechanical watch...and it's a real beauty as well!

i wore my watch two times in last three days for a couple hours, rest of the time it remain in its box. 1st time my AD wind it and after 10-15 hours off my wrist i fount it stopped, i again wind it fix the time and put it on wrist for 5-8 hours and again put it in the box for 8-10 hours( as i cannot wear it on my job) i found it wasnt working again.it says that it has 42 hrs power reserve, but it even get exhausted after 10-12 hours.
plz guide me if i need to take it to my AD or its just watch's normal behaviour being new.
or u guys recommend me a watch winder.
sincerely

Congrats on the new watch, it's great piece! If you manually wind it, by turning the crown, 40 full turns is a full wind, you could go more, you won't hurt the watch as you cannot overwind an automatic. Then it should last the whole 42 hrs.

I love the big date. It looks great on the black calf.

Had the same issue with my SA 2 but seems to be getting better with time. I juess it needs time to break in. Brookstone looked like it had a nice winder that received good reviews. Hoping Santa brings one this year.
