Morning guys

Im about to purchase my 1st Breitling(im from Australia btw), either Chrono Superocean or the CA. Went to my local AD today... price for the CSO were A$5200 and the CA were A$4800. Which is a bit too much comparing to the price i seen around this board or the net.
Thinking of purchasing from prestigetime.com. How reliable are they? and how hard isit to adjust the bracelet(can any watch repairer do it?).

Sorry about another topic on pricing, but i really need help, thank you for replying

Welcome aboard mate.

Here's a write up I did about my experience with Prestige Time: http://www.breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/v ... .php?t=694

I'm glad I purchased from them. It not only saved me money, it was a smooth, pleasant transaction!

Best of luck!

~Brian

Very easy to adjust the bracelet - check out the blogs for a video from Admin on actually changing one, but for adjustments the links are screwed in through a 'mini U-bolt' - just unscrew the 2 screws and slide the bolt out to remove a link.

There is also a micro-adjustment in the clasp for fine tuning of the fit, and again any watchmaker can do it for you in a few seconds - just a spring bar.
