All:
I have the opportunity to buy a breitling navitimer (black face, black croc band) or a Montbrillant Datora (Silver face, brown croc band) at cost. This is not grey market and the watch is from an AD, so no worries there. I do not so much want to keep the watch, but want to resale. Which watch will I have an easier time re-selling?

Any input would be greatly appreciated

IMHO, navi for sure, since it's their biggest icon piece!

I agree, but my thinking was that since it is their biggest icon piece, the secondary market is over saturated with them. The Montbrillant on the other hand, I have barely seen any on the secondary market. Thoughts?

There may be greater supply of the Navi, but I'd say there's also MUCH greater demand for it, so not a massive concern IMO.

Any pre-owned Breitling is a tough sell, ask me, I know.

I would buy the Navi, since it's a lower price point and hence easier to sell...

Ok. Looks like I'm sold on the Navitimer. Where is there a market for these watches? eBay? Sites like this? I am not going to wear it at all and just plan to sell it, but I'm not sure where to go for that? Thoughts?

Not wear, just sell? That's too bad!

I've bought before from Jeff Bernard at bernardwatch.com. I got this from him, actually.
