Looking at this post is making me really want to grab that black dial SA.

I'm thinking of grabbing the black dial SA off Jomashop with black leather strap and switching it to a bracelet.


Oh, and quick question how much does a bracelet retail for at a AD? Thanks in advance.

Driver8,
Congrats! I have the same watch and it is awesome huh. Nice contrast with the subdials. Lingman and I were at our local AD Saturday and they had a black faced SA with a diamond bezel that looked awesome. The salesman proceeded to lie his AS* off about adding a bezel on(he really wanted to sell a watch that day I guess). He said that if you add a diamond bezel on it would not be waterproof anymore and that you can't get a diamond bezel from Breitling unless you buy the watch with it on already!! Thinking back on it Lingman and I should have beaten him just on principal haha!!

:lol: I'm surprised you and Ling Man stood for such falsehoods from that guy! How is swapping the bezel on an Aeromarine model going to compromise the water resistance??! It's not like a Navitimer or anything! What a total joker! I think you deserve some SERIOUS discounts from him next time! :wink:

Driver8,

After thinking about it more it really makes me sick huh! What a pile of sh*t huh...That AD does not budge on their prices and we always say to each-other after we leave(how did they quote that price with a straight face). We go there to look at their watches because they have a huge selection but we buy our watches at another jeweler. You are right he deserves to be beaten and stoned until he admits his BS! Maybe I will just stop by there when I have a few minutes and slap him around for all of us haha! We all know he deserves it. How is the new SA treating you?

Naviman - the new SA is doing the business and getting a huge amount of attention from people! Most seem to initially spot it and then I notice them trying to look at it without me noticing! But a few at work have made comments - all positive I might add. It seems to be getting way more attention that any of the others I've owned - even more than the Motors. I think it's the size of the polished Pro II bracelet along with the polished case. I'm loving it!

You guys buy your watches at Interwatches don't you? How are they as vendors?

The SA sure does demand the attention. I think most people are in shock at the first sight of it then they want to know what the hell it is but everybody likes them. Interwatches is great,overnight delivery with all the papers. Lingman and I both got our SA's from them and they were perfect. I bought my Nav World from a local jeweler here who was not an AD and I got 30% discount. Lingman bought his Bentley at that AD I was talking about earlier and he was lucky because he got 2 bad Bentley GT's from them and then he paid the difference and bought the motors so that was one time it paid to use the AD. After the comments that were made Saturday at that AD about the bezel not being waterproof I would never buy anything from that particular AD but Interwatches is great. Are you looking at something they have?

Driver8,

I have purchased Lings at various dealers including Mayors where I really got "Ripped" I paid $7275 for a Bentley there but dealing with them is a pleasure. Interwatches.com you just can't go wrong with, their service, shipping and everything is perfect. I just picked up a diamond bezel for my Bentley from Authenticwatches.com and it looks fantastic. After I got my SA I kind of lost interest in my Bentley until I got the diamond bezel. It's not too "Blingy" because the dial is white so the colors blend together very nicely. I'd recommend a diamond bezel for your Bentley you won't be disappointed .

Well I can't really justify another one at the moment (not that that's stopped me recently!), but I had a look at Interwatches the other day and they have a couple of 6.75's that caught my eye. I'm tempted to try outside of the AD network for my next one, so after all the good stuff you Ling Man have to say about them, I may give them a try when the time comes. How is your World doing BTW?

@Ling Man - I didn't know you had a diamond bezel on your Bentley. Any pics?

Just ordered their last Colt Auto, black w/ProII.
Hope that they'll justify their reputation.

Thanx, also hoping for good experience. :)
Gave away my old camera, no funds for new one - Lings first. :lol:
I'll try to borrow one.

Driver8,

Interwatches.com has 5 6.75's for sale right now. I just got the diamond bezel for the Bentley yesterday. I have purchased 2 SA's from Interwatches.com and they are great. They are only about 45 miles south of me and about a year ago when I first found them I was just going to go there but then I ordered an SA from them and it arrived the next morning. After that I got one for my nephew Naviman and the same thing happened perfect shipping, service and everything. The stainless 6.75's they have for sale right now are only $5388 USD I would get one if I were you.
