Have the chance to buy this....

.... at a VERY silly price brand new. Question is should I (not actually keen on it myself) and sell it on for a profit?

It is brand new and from a very well know high street jeweller. If I was to sell it on, what sort of price could I expect to get either private or trade?

Realistically I believe you'd struggle to get 50% of RRP as a trade bid. Watches.co.uk have one (an Aug 2013 model so not old) here for £2995:

They will have paid the owner £2000 ish, maybe a little more.

For a private sale, who knows? You'd be competing with the one above (an almost new watch at 60% of list price) and they will offer a warranty and dealer services etc (I appreciate yours would have the full warranty remaining) but a private sale may be viewed as more risky so you would need to price yours to beat it.

Appreciate your feed back. The one I can buy is less than that new, so just weighing up my options.

At best you'll bust your gut for a couple of hundred, not worth the grief.

I bought one in the US very cheaply, brand new from an AD for £2k, limited edition too, thinking to make money or break even after a few months. Watchfinder gave me £1300 for it. An undesirable watch sadly, no-one really got it.

Limited appeal = very risky.

Yep agree with the above after looking into things. It's prob cheep for a reason.

Probably a good decision .....
But at least you received good council from this forum before taking the plunge

I quite like it, which is unusual for a Breitling. Original Navtimers and 60s stopwatches excepted.
