I've never heard of them. The pricing looks extremely high.

Is there a certain Breitling in mind you are interested in purchasing?

If so, check out:

www.Jomashop.com
www.PrestigeTime.com
www.AuthenticWatches.com

Just to name a few.

Brian ,having had a look at Authenticwatches.com i have a query and i wonder if you can help me with it, regarding the model Windrider Chronomat Evo . :!:

There are models n :757/ 756 and 762 -however i cant possibly distinguish between all of them . :roll:

The 752 is the most dearer (price wise ) model of the 3 models but i had a look and cant distinguish the reason why ? :cry:

Could you help Brian ? or any of the pros on this Forum :wink:

Much appreciated :P :) :o :D

AATime.com are generally very good and cheap..... for the UK. (Cue my usual "Rip Off Britain" rant!! :evil: ) Obviously being Rip-Off-Britain they can't remotely compete with Prestigetime, Jomashop etc on price, but then you also don't have to worry about the Rip-Off-Britain customs and VAT charges.

To give you an example - a little while back I was looking at buying an Airwolf from Interwatches.com from the States. From an AD here (in Rip-Off-Britain!) they are £2200. AAtime do the same watch for £1900. Interwatches had it up for the equivalent of £1400. A no-brainer it would seem....... until you factor in the £450 in VAT and duty (and then postage on top) you need to add just to get the thing into Rip-Off-Britain.

So in the end it would come down to £2200 from an AD (with all the backup and certainty of buying from an approved source + the potential to cut a bit of a deal with them) vs around £1900 from both sites online (with the all the added uncertainty of not buying from an AD). Personally I'd rather buy from an AD and haggle them down a little......

The Airwolf is now on hold for me at the mo.

PS - Just thought : Rip-Off-Britain = ROB! How very apt!

The biggest difference between 757/756 model is that the 757 features Mother of Pearl with gold subdials. The 756 model has a Silver Dial. which is the biggest difference in price. The 757 model also has a Tang Buckle, while the 756 model has a Deployment Buckle. I do not know the difference between the two buckles.

Hope this helps.

Don't have a Chronolog with me to check, but I believe:

752 - Gold case, gold bracelet dark face (blue?)
756 - SS case with gold riders and crown, TT strap, silver face with gold subs
757 - SS case with gold riders and crown, leather strap, MOP dial with gold subs
