So I was killing time at the big mall here in Orlando while my wife was doing whatever she does. This mall has a Breitling Boutique (as well as a Rolex and Omega boutique as well). They had a boutique only 1 of 100 Avenger Blackbird with a stunning yellow face that really caught my eye. It was $5100 and I nearly got sucked into the 1 of 100 bit but I decided to take my smartphone (at my wife's insistence) and ask in this forum if the limited edition actually increases the value. Nearly immediately I received a response that no, in fact it does not and by the way don't buy a Breitling new anyway. Thanks TRF as always.

Last night I was in another mall and my wife was looking for a Mikimoto bracelet, ths store was a Breitling dealer as well and I spotted an Avenger II Seawolf with a yellow dial on a rubber strap. I was not wild about the military strap on the blackbird anyway. Bottom line here, I walked out with this..

I know, I was warned not to buy new but I felt I received a good deal and I love the watch.

What's the deal with that electronic warranty card, I have never seen anything like that. Does the battery die after 2 years? :)

Congrats! Lovely watch

Congrats, and it's fine to buy a Breitling new with a healthy discount!! Those that stated opinions against it are mostly right about resale compared to most Rolex, but to me there is nothing like a brand new watch. Great choice and enjoy it forever.

Oh and the warranty is e ink link a kindle. It will last for a VERY long time!

Congrats on the watch , it's absolutely stunning. I had your same attraction to the limited edition ( I tried it last week) but then I am considering the sea wolf as the 48 mm is quite big. What is a good discount a dealer can give on Breitling? Is 25 percent good or I can get more?

Congrats. You should receive an embroidered hat from Breitling also.

Funny you mention the hat, I received that yesterday. It was not expected at all. I have 3 Rolex, all purchased from an AD and Rolex never sent me anything

How much did you paid for yours? Just bought one yesterday and paid 2.1k usd for it here in Brazil (second hand, but used few times). Thanks
