Advice from Breitling Experts Needed
Hi Guys,
This December I have received permission from my wife to add 1 watch (one watch only) to my collection. The budget is around USD 8000... So I planned to purchase a pre owned TT Submariner (blue dial)... But suddenly I found out that a pre owned watch store here selling a New Old Stock of Breitling Chronomat Evolution in 18KYG & Steel with British Racing Green Dial as per the picture below. The price is around USD 4750... That watch really amazed me...what a beauty... So I really need your opinion guys...Should stick with my old plan to get a pre owned TT Submariner (blue dial) or should I take the New Old Stock Breitly Chronomat Evolution..... Please tell me about this watch...is this a good watch? What about the price? Thank you very much for your opinions... Regards,

I have one - it is a wonderful watch and gets a lot of wrist time because it is so versatile - suit to jeans.
It is a little bulky - more than the rolex sub - but that's also the appeal of the watch. It's not going to always fit under the cuff like a rolex but it doesn't bother me at all. Movement is great and accurate. Perfect to swim with - all around great watch. Regarding the price... I'd say you should revisit it. I wouldn't pay anything over $3,800 for a leather band option - a few hundred more for a bracelet in excellent condition. There are many people trying to sell their Chronomat evolution for the B01 - so you can benefit from that. You can even check the classifieds here and find a very slightly used B01 for around $5k. FYI - the movement is not "in-house" with the Chronomat evolution as is the case with the B01. |

As Alex said, it's a bit pricey. I had the all SS model with the graphite dial and it was a great watch. I'd still go with the Sub over this.

I've personally been in that watch less than 50% of the quoted
Retail price. Perhaps not nos, but sheesh that seems a bit topside. |

did he ever come down on the price? I paid less then that for my Super Avenger with the high polish and pro2 polished bracelet, and from an AD... seems way high, especially with the leather strap.
