Discount on Breitling

Hi everyone!

As you guys are already experienced in this matter, i wonder what would be the best discount, a first time buyer could get in purschase of a Breitling Chronomat Evolution (in an authorized dealer).

This will be my first luxury watch, so i dont have any record in stores, but i heard AD´s can offer a discount when negotiated.. please let me know if this is true!


Thank you so much for your time, it will help a lot!
My wallet also sends regards

It is hard to say because you are in Portugal. If you were here in the states you could get some AD recommendations were you could get a nice discount, but I just don't know how things are over there.

Sure.. I understand that!

But back there in the USA, do you guys have an idea of how it use to be ?

I can tell you that a nice discount is easy to find for a first time Breitling buyer as I was one just recently. I know of AD's that will give in the range of 25-30% off.

In Europe you'd be lucky to get 10% at the AD. Unless you buy one tax free while traveling to the Canary Islands or Zwitserland; but then you might have to pay import tax if airport customs snag you.
