Thanks for posting that. Now that I've seen that I'm more comfortable about putting down a deposit on one. :)

Hope there are going to be some on a boat coming this way soon.

Interesting to see it. But, I'm not 100% comfortable with the stenciled numbers "AS-style". Good for the rest of you I guess, one more available... :lol:

I'll see how it works for me when I go to pick it up... worst case scenario there will be another one on eBay ;)

Actually one of the reasons I was keen to see a photo was to check whether it had the AS-style numbers, because I like how they look with the black finish. I was hoping it wouldn't come out with batons or something like that. Just making up for missing the boat on the AS Blacksteel, I guess :)

Well, I am not going to buy one... I was expecting a black SA, not an AS on steroids ;)

Also, since the SA is very easy to bump into doorframes and similar objects, I think my coating would be damaged after a week on my wrist!





(just because I wrote this I will proabbaly change my mind after seeing some nice real wristshots of it, it´s the curse of this forum!)

Good to see it in the flesh, but as we have said before, WHY make it so similar to the AS Blacksteel??? :huh Crazy.

Yes, there is a new LESA. It is semi identical. However, the differences are as follows: Has a SA bezel (obviously), additional red added in the sub dials (only on the minute totalizer), and they have switched the sub dial striations. When you look closely, you can see that they used to be on the left and they are now on the right (woohoo! that is sarcasm). It is coming on the Pro Diver Rubber Strap. Similar, but still a very HOT watch!

This watch is expected to arrive in our store (we are an authorized dealer of Breitling, no fakes here), in St. Thomas, end of September/beginning of October. The pricing on that is as follows: US Retail: $5500.00 Duty Free/ Tax Free Price: $4675.00. As I am sure some of you are aware, because we are located in the Caribbean, Breitling allows us to sell their watches with a Duty Free/Tax Free price.

I have tried to attach two photos so that you may see the difference between the two watches, but I am having some trouble. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them. Thanks!

P.S. Could someone tell me how to insert photos and I will. Thanks!

1. Go to http://www.photobucket.com and open an account.
2. Upload your images there.
3. Get the code from that page where it says "IMG Code - Forums & Bulletin Boards" And paste that into your post, and voila! Your photo will appear.

Or you can email them to me and I'll do it for you. I'll send you a PM.

Mario

Hello All,

I didn't think of this until after I posted on the forum, but I have a question for everyone on the whether or not I have commited a faux pas?

I know that this forum is for Breitling enthusiasts, which I am, however, I also work for a company that sells Breitlings. Hence, where I discovered my intrest. I do not want to offend anyone or have them thinking I am trying to sell anything, that is not my intention. I am here to learn as much as I can about Breitlings (never thought I would be a watch girl). However, if I have information that would be helpful to someone here or vice versa, I feel as thought here is nothing wrong with sharing. My question is, am I crossing a line? Am I doing something wrong on your forum?

My friend said that a lot of these forums get upset when retailers try come on and talk. I am not a big bad retailer, I promise! I am a personal shopper (people call me, I do not solicite them) for a company in St. Thomas and I do sell Breitlings, but I am not here to harrass anyone. Really!!

Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

No offense taken. There are others on here that work for/with dealers and sell items all the time. It's a community and everyone benefits from good deals :wink:
