Breitling virgin

Hi guys.
Have decided to treat myself and invest in a Breitling. Have been looking online for a while and decided on a Chronomat 44. Here in Oz the going rate seems to be around $12-$14k, whereas on chrono24 I've seen them listed around the $9kAUD. I know I'm up for import duty(GST) but still works out wau cheaper than buying it here. My question is am I asking for trouble buying off chrono24 etc?
See link of the particular watch im interested in

Hold your guns. I would wait to hear back from some other members in Oz first. Price sounds high even down under

Are you planning any trips to Europe or US? Europe = VAT discount, US has multiple online gray dealers with huge discounts, but no manufacturer's warranty.
