The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I had the same problem when I bought my SA!

When I received the package shipped from the USA all that was in the box was the watch itself, no instruction book, no warranty card, no COCSH. After quite a few e-mails and phone calls and 3 months of waiting I finally received everything that should have been in the box to begin with!

I checked all the serial numbers etc and everything seems to be in order but it certainly took the immediate joy of opening a £2800 present to yourself and finding out that everything that should be there is not.

Everything worked out in the end but I would certainly be making sure that everything is in the box the next time when I contact the AD before purchasing to avoid such dissapointment. You live and learn!

Cheers

Andrew

Since the dealer name is stamped in the booklet, it might make sense they needed a new booklet if they got the watch from another dealer.

Of course you need to be careful if something is out of order, but in this case it might just all be allright.

Good luck and enjoy your watch

I have to admit, I sometimes receive a watch without papers or without correct papers from my agent. If they are missing, there is usually a postit on the box, that the papers will follow as soon as possible. That usually happens if Breitling in Switzerland makes a mistake and my agent's employees realise, they sent a watch with the wrong papers. But I have also received watches with wrong numbers on the papers. Nobody is perfect, but You have to check everything. So it can happen.

Only point would be: Is Your AD also a Bentley AD? He does not have to be, but if he is not, he will not get Bentley watches. So, when he buys them from another dealer, that dealer might refuse sending the correct paperwork with the watch, although, it makes no sense.
