After getting hold of my first Breitling a couple of months ago, have now decided to buy a newer one.
The watch I have been looking at is the Super Avenger with the black dial (a1337011/b907-ss)
My options are to go into a local jewellers and try and negoiate a good deal. I am flying out to Las Vegas in a few weeks so would maybe try Jewellers in Manchester airport? or to buy in Las Vegas.
Where do you think I am most likely to get the best deal?
Any advice appreciated

If you're looking to buy a new one I can put you in touch with a couple of UK AD's I know, mention my name and you should get a good discount.

I don't think you'd get much of a deal in Vegas, however, I was in New York over Christmas and New Year and I could have bought a Navitimer Caliber 01 in the Breitling Boutique for what I paid here, just bear customs in mind though on your return.

If you want those contact details just send me a message through my profile.

Regards

Stefan

I'm currently hankering after a Breitling Transocean Chronograph as seen in this month's Esquire magazine. Not sure I could stomach the £6200 that they want for it though.

Hi,

Goodsmiths in Leeds without a doubt. I've bought 2 new ones in the past 3 years and got a great deal both times. And if you want to be smart go to the brietling site make a note of all the dealers in Leeds (there are 3 or 4) and ask each one for their best price. If you dont save 20% id be surprised.

Hope that helps

Cheers,

Steve

Right almost narrowed it down. Ive decided on either a new Super Avenger, a new airwolf raven or a(n) used Emergency E56321.
Any advice on the Emergency? Always wanted one and theres a nice used example on Watchfinder. Which of the above will survive the test of time?
