Breitling Boutique ??

Hi all,
I’m planning to buy my next Breitling watch by the end of the year. My question is where I should go? I don’t have any experience with Breitling boutiques and I don’t know what to expect. My last Breitling I bought in AD and experience was great I got some gifts and a discount. So in Breitling store can I expect a better selection of watches, gifts or a discount? Where would you go if you would like to buy new Breitling watch?

Breitling boutiques will not offer you a discount! They may offer a free strap or other swag but the prices are set in stone. My suggestion would be to browse a boutique and find the model that you are interested in. Once you determine what it is you can go to your local AD and see what they will do with regards to price and additional gifts!

So if Boutiques don’t have the discount why some people buy Breitling watches directly from boutiques ?

For me, they have more stock than my local ADs and it's a really nice place to have a look at the new pieces as well as the numerous variants of the existing models.
Also got a Breitling beach towel and later 2 tickets (great seats) for the 6 Nations rugby when I bought my Superocean 44 turquoise dial.

I have purchased 5 from the boutique and got 10% off each of them. Recently wanted to purchase 2 Navitimers and they would only go as far as 10%. I wanted more than that so passed. Got some nice gifts and got invited to some nice events.

Definitely no value in a Breitling boutique. Save the money at an AD.

Breitling Boutique

I bought a B01 Avenger Chronograph and the Boutique discounted it to cover the cost of my sales tax, sent Swag, extended the warranty, free shipping and that model was not available to regular AD's. If the regular AD had the watch I would have bought it there and hopefully I would have gotten a discount.
