breitling superocean/colt

i'm thinking of getting one of the above- either with a coral or blue face. in england they retail at about $2000+, im coming to the states in december and was wondering if they are cheaper over there and easy to get?

p.s. is it posible to get discounts in US stores by simply asking for it? over here you can get up to 20% off retail price

cheers for any help

p.s.(edit) does anyone know much about the montana watch company? havent seen one for a few years but depending on price might be interested in one

Hi Sam,

While I do agree that Breitlings make some excellent time-pieces, just make sure that the one you want and finally buy....you decide to keep. If you change your mind a few weeks or months down the line, then be prepared to lose a lot of money on Breitlings. Their resale value sucks....big time!!

Good luck - JJ

it would be mainley for work- as my watches take the odd knock and that looked solid(dont fancy a rado or chanel j12 )- ive seen them on the internet for $1200- a massive saving on english prices but ive never trusted buying off the net-unless theres any websites you guys would vouch for?

Great watches and some big discounts to be had if you look.
