Hi All,

I wanted to introduce myself, I'm new to the forums here and new to Breitlings although I've been trying to learn about luxury watches for a few months now. So far my wishlist includes a Breitling for Bentley 6.75, IWC Portuguese and a Panerai Luminor which leads me to my questions. I'll be making my first purchase in a couple of weeks and wanted to know if anyone could recommend an AD in the OC/LA/SD areas? There are so many dealers around here it'd be pretty hard to visit them all. Also, when I'm negotiating with the dealers, is it something I can do over the phone before I head down there for is it something that needs to be done in person? From what I've read here 20-30% off seems like a good target on the Breitlings,is that right? I apologize if these questions have been asked and answered before.

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and the great advice!

A friend of mine told me yesterday "why not just get a Rolex or Baume and Mercer?" Aside from stating the obvious and telling him his an idiot, what make Breitlings special other then their awesome looks and superior craftsmanship? Specifics would be great!

Welcome aboard....you've got some great watches picked out. Make sure to post some pictures when you get your new Breitling. I was going to recommend In2deep for AD refferals in that area. Good luck!
