Breitling boutique

Hi all!
I am thinking about purchasing premier b09 pistachio! What an incredible watch.
I am debating buying at boutique vs AD.
Could anyone share client experiences if bought from boutique? Like client events after, what kind of goodies you get, or some freebies (like straps) if bought from boutique?
Really loving where breitling is heading so i am wondering to build relationship at a boutique.
Especially if breitling starts rolling out some universal geneve products- it would be worth it!
Thanks!

That’s a tough one.

The boutique is MSRP. I’m sure you could get a strap thrown in and some swag.

The AD you’d likely be able to negotiate a hefty discount.

Really depends on what you’re looking for -

Not sure I personally see the value in the relationship aspect with the boutique as these pieces are readily available and typically with a heavy discount. If you collect other pieces and your dealer has Breitling that would be the best move in my opinion.

As much as everyone loves a comeback, I am waiting to see where Universal Geneva lands. Based on the initial releases they too will be in the same boat as most Breitling product - readily available with a nice discount.

Thanks very much! Probably should take the AD route.

The AD and negotiate a decent discount, 10-20%, or go to another AD. Also, look at our Trusted Sellers and see what a slightly pre-owned model would cost. Cool watch, good luck.

Thanks for the response. Probably going AD and negotiate a good discount. Already have an AD with relationship so maybe i will have some luck with other allocation pieces after this purchase
