Long time no post but I figured this deserved a return to the forum!

I walked into my watchmaker's store to check on a Panerai build I'm having him do and saw something I never thought would ever sing to me - a Breitling Colt Superocean 42.

It's clean and good looking and I'm in need of a diver (sold my last one to a friend).

However, I know very lil on Breitlings so a few questions came up.

Do Superocean 42s come with a bracelet? This one came with a plain, smooth black rubber strap (Breitling logo stamped on the buckle).

Where can I find a legitimate place to get OEM straps?

He's selling it for $1,600. Does this seem like a good deal? He's been the most standup businessman I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with, but it's still worth asking the questions to the lot of you.

The certificate states it was originally purchased in 10/2013. My watchmaker received it as part of a trade.

Anything else I should know about the model? I have it for a few weeks on loan from him until I decide whether I want it or not.

Thanks for the advice!

Yes, they have a bracelet. I prefer the SO on rubber myself, and Breitling has some very comfortable rubber straps. Is it the full package of box, papers, etc? Sounds like a pretty good deal if so.

Yes indeed! Box, papers, certificate, the whole enchilada!

Matt... I was just in Germany for an event... would you happened to have been somewhere other than Stuttgart in the past three weeks?
I know i's a long shot, but worth trying...

I was up at Ramstein airbase last week for a couple of days. Other than that, just hanging around Stau-gart mostly.

Pretty good deal on the watch though. If the condition is nice and it's keeping good time, I'd go for it.

For 1600$, complete set and in good condition, its a steal.

The bracelet is actually quite gorgeous. $1600 is a good deal. Good luck
