Opinions on Selling a SuperOcean

[sgman16]

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask. Acquired my first Rolex last year and now I’m looking to sell my previous daily Breitling and I’m not sure what to list/sell it for. Model A17360; it’s from 2004, full service in 2012. I can’t find the original metal bracelet, and so currently it has a rubber strap. Appreciate any advice! Thanks!

Try Crown and Caliber for an estimate and go from there. They are the ones Breitling uses when you trade in via Breitling online.

Good luck.

I have found crown and caliber the lowest on offers the last 8 watches I have sold. Brace yourself for a bath with Breitling value retention.

It doesn't answer your question, but I'd recommend keeping it unless you just need that little bit of cash.....I say little bit because you are going to really take a hit selling it. Personally, I'd get more joy out of having it to change up with occasionally than the little bit of cash in my pocket.

But, to answer your question, search the for sale listings and get a feel for what comparable or close are being listed at. Take into consideration who is listing it, as and unknown seller isn't going to get near the amount a well known seller can get.

I'd agree with this. Unless you really need to sell it, just keep it as a beater watch. If you bought it new back in 2004, you probably didn't pay too much for it assuming you got a decent discount off retail. You're better off just wearing the hell out of it going forward. There's no harm in having a little variety in the watchbox, even if you only wear it a few times a month.

Personally, I'd just keep it for when you don't want to wear your Rolex. You're going to lose a lot on it and it's always good to have an extra watch or twenty.

Also look at Chrono24

If you like the watch I’d keep it, if not sell it for what you can and move on.

Good luck.

Presuming it’s pretty beat up as a daily without bracelet/box, let’s say you are offered $1000. With that beautiful blue dial, I’d just as soon keep it and enjoy it.

Keep it.
