Hi guys

I've loved B's for ages and have this week finally achieved my goal of owning one. Brand new is out of my reach at the moment so I went for a 21 month old Chrono Superocean from Watchfinder.co.uk.

I feel pretty stupid that I've discovered this site AFTER I've bought the watch, as it's an absolute goldmine of information and it's been fascinating reading these forum pages.

Anyway, I'm sure it's genuine (it's got all the box, papers, warranty stuff) and I believe Watchfinder are a pretty reputable site, but I'd like the breitlingsource forum experts seal of approval if that's OK. It's my first Breitling and I want to start off as I mean to go on!

Here it is...

Also, pricewise I paid 1600GBP for it, which sounded like a pretty good deal when it's immaculate and is the current model. Does that sound like a bargain, a fair price or did I get ripped?! It retails around 2500 GBP at ADs.

Anyway, I am now addicted to buying Breitlings and will probably end up turning to petty crime to fuel my 'habit'... :shock:

Great looking watch, though, I am a bit partial . I have the same model and LOVE it.

Wear it in good health.

Looks like the real deal to me. I love that dial / sub dial combination. Great looking watch. Congratulation. Keep working hard and I'm sure the opportunity for picking up another Breitling will come sooner than you think!

Nice watch there. I to have been looking at watchfinder, their prices seem very competetive, to the point I might wait and save a little longer to get the heritage chrono, as they've put it a lot closer to my price range. :)

welcome aboard!

paperwork is always helpful, and as I am learning from the other experts here like mario and roff and site admin who is enjoying a rightuflly deserved vacay in the med.....

this post has helped me learn important info needed in determining if a watch is real or not.

enjoy it and as they say wear it in health

regards
nick
