Hi guys:

Just wanted to see if anyone recently bought a breitling and what kind of discount was given.

Thanks

I know this is not a rolex topic, but I am in the market for one and I know I can always count on TRF for good advice

Hey,

I just bought two yesterday - but I buy in bulk, so not sure if that applies. But I bought a 2-tone Windrider Chronomat Evo at 55% off (used, but looks absolutely new) and a steel Windrider Chronomat Evo at 45% off (store display model).

sorry -duplicate

Thank you for responding!

Im going to shoot for 30% off. Also going to inquire about display models.

Good idea - also, don't shy away from pre-owned. Breitling especially, as they are designed to hold up better than most.

i agree - i love breitlings, but they don't hold their value well. unless it's a very limited piece, you can easily get 50% or more off by buying used. Not hard to find a mint Breitling at 60% off MSRP.

if you are buying new, I get 30%-35% off unless it's a hard to get model.

X2- My experience as well.

I stopped by a Breitling AD in Cincinnati today and was offered 20% off a Navitimer without trying very hard.

clew84 · 13 February 2009, 01:01 PM

I bought mine in Cincinnati as well and got 25% off my Avenger Skyland without trying very hard. I talked to a guy in NY who said that with all the competition there you can get better deals. I am actually trying to sell mine which is 1 month (to bet a Rolex Sea Dweller) old and having trouble getting interest at 40% off list.

So, I would definitely check the pre-owned markets at Timezone and Watchuseek for the model you are looking for - most likely they are all over the place. Good luck!

Finding that out right now!!

was offered 35 percent brand new while in Vegas! probably can get for 40 percent off!

Depending on the model, 30% - 40% off MSRP is pretty standard. As far as holding value goes, don't be afraid of Breitling - just get a good deal upfront. I would lose more money on resale with my Rolex Sub than with my Breiting Super Avenger.
