Where do you get your Breitlings>

Merry Xmas everyone. I am looking to purchase my first Breitling. I know for Rolex(s) there are a couple of sellers on this site that offers good deals. But where does everyone get their Breitlings? How much of a discount is consider a good deal? Looking at a B01.

PM me if you want to share your secrets.

I'm amazed there are no responses here. Am I asking a forbidden question?

I buy my Breitlings at AD's here in the US and Germany as well! The last one was in 2005 in Germany. I think between 20-30% discount should be possible. It depends on the model of corse. My wife wanted to buy me a new one for X-mas but I turned it down. I have a great AD here in Valdosta,GA
Good luck!!

According to some that have posted on a Breitling forum there is a Breitling AD who is highly recommended.

Sending you a PM with details.

I disagree with the 'buy from an AD' as a sole option. I'd recommend buying on a forum you trust from a buyer you can verify. I think you can (I have) find great deals on anything from slightly used to vintage Lings on this forum's sale's section or on the sales area of Breitlingsource.com
Places like this have enough expert members who can immediately point out fakes. I wouldn't discount the AD entirely, but if you have time and are willing to 'shop around' for a while, you will find the best value on the forums from private sellers not at an AD.

Just sayin'

...by the way, just to lend perspective to my answer, I have purchased a new SOHCLE from an AD here in Baltimore and 3 more vintagy (80s and 90s) Lings from private sellers on forums.

Breitling from Jakarta

Hi, I recently checked some Breitling prices in Jakarta - at official Breitling seller. What is the model you are looking for? My advice to you is, check watch prices across different cities as the official discounts vary from country to country. TRF is good place to check out prices in different markets. If you let me know your model or the price range, I can check the prices in Jakarta. If it comes the lowest you may arrange buying it from here. Please also be mindful about the courier cost. Hope I could help you.

Thanks for all the response. Got my first Breitling from an AD. The Chrono B01. I have stepped over to the dark side.
