Anniversary Breitling
I have the opportunity of buying an Anniversary (RAF) Breitling Aerospace at a massively reduced price. The watch is NIB from an authorised dealer. I'm not sure if these watches are a good investment as they are quite specialist to the owners. I do want the watch though as the RAF squadron is sentimental to me.
I know I wont be buying it as an investment and passing it down the line but do they depreciate more than a standard issue Aerospace ? Thanks |

Don't think that Breitling are the best investments.
Just buy the watch if you really like an enjoy it ! |

I don't think I really mean "investment". What I'm trying to get at is if it will be more or less valuable than a standard Aerospace model in years to come.

"Anniversary (RAF) Breitling Aerospace at a massively reduced price."
That should give you the clue.... They obviously can't sell it, hence the massive reduction... To answer your question, I should imagine the residual value on a limited piece would be a little stronger than a non limited piece.. Sadly, Breitlings just don't hold up so well. Best of luck! Dino

Not released, massive discount . . . what does that tell you about how the future value would hold up?

How is 1200 a "massively reduced price". Many Breitlings typically sell for 25-35% off MSRP. Breitlings are nice enough watches but they don't retain their value well.
Buy the watch if you truly love it, don't buy it for another reason. |
