Surfing ebay looking at Breitlings, deals, ripoffs and fakes. But, can anybody explain to me why Authenticwatches.com is charging $299USD for a Pro Diver, $525USD for a Croco(no clasp), and $299-$395USD for Calfskin. An AD only charges $160 for Calfskin, $110 for the Pro Diver and $480 for Croco, and thats WITHOUT the discount. I alway thought they had decent prices on watches but are they ignorant when it comes to straps or are they trying to rip some poor guy off? :?

Yeah it's cropped up a few times on here before. The simple answer is............... God knows! It's always struck me as odd considering that their watch prices are pretty decent.

I think they just hope that the uninformed buyer assumes that their strap prices are in the same league as their watch prices. I wouldnt doubt that they make a lot of money doing it this way.
