They are an official AD and are listed as such on Breitling's website. They are legit.

You may not want to list them in this section just incase somebody misinterprets and think they sell via the net like a grey market dealer. They could get into trouble with Breitling.

I've just bought and paid for a Skyland today through Govberg. I was put in touch with a guy called George by a couple of experienced Breitling enthusiasts on this site after weeks of hunting and deliberating wether to buy on the net or go to a dealer!!
I phoned George at Govberg and he was great you couldn't ask for better and they came up with a price that was cheaper than anywhere else I was quoted and at the same price I had found on the net. When and not if I decide to buy another the first thing I will do is pick up the phone to George or Govberg! Absolutely brilliant and they use Fedex to ship internationally, I'm in Scotland so I'm sure they will ship to Oz! So to cut a llloooooonnnnnnnng story short :D buy from Govberg you won't regret dealing with them. My Ling is in the hands of Fedex now so hopefully there will be no probs!

Hope this helps!!!!

Hi craig

Its good to have someone else here in Aus who also is on this forum

I posted a message on this forum as I was looking at purchasing from Authenticwatches.com a Chronomat Evo.

I managed to get in contact with a guy from this forum who is from the US who put me onto Govberg I emailed them and spoke to a guy named George he was fantastic couldnt help me enough the price he gave me was beter than I expected and this was from an Authorised Dealer, now Im just waiting for the shipping details from George and the funds to come through, then I will be getting Chrono Evo. I will also be getting a Super Avenger and Breitling Bentley

My advice to you is and I probberly shouldnt be saying this is never buy in Australia Buy in the US. I went into a AD in Melbourne and the only thing they could offer me with the same watch was 2 months extra on the warrenty, I told them to stick it

I have two other friends who will be contacting George at Govberg to order a SA and Skyland

Emottram is right they are an Authoised Dealer they do not deal on line Im not sure if this the right way to go but check there website, and give them a call and ask to speak to George he will be more than happy to assist you

Kind Regards
Marcus

Hi all,

Today I received my Navitimer World from Govberg watches. I spoke to George over the phone and ordered my watch few weeks ago. After the wire transfer went through, George shipped the watch with FedEx the very same day.

Today it arrived safely, with all paperwork from Breitling included, serial numbers intact, stamped valid warranty card, certificate and manuals. The watch came with plastics on, as you would expect from a brand new Breitling.

My experience dealing with George was very pleasant. He's been communicative and replied all my emails, usually, within the same day.

In his favour, I'd like to mention the particular circumstances of this deal. They had to order the model I wanted from Breitling, since they didn't have it in stock. Also schedule wise was very tied, since I'm travelling out of the UK tomorrow, so I needed the watch here before I left. He dealt with all this issues, ordering the watch from Breitling and getting it at my door step before Saturday 15th.

I can't recommend George highly enough, and I will definitely call him again before I purchase my next Breitling.

If anyone have questions, I'll be happy to elaborate more, but please don't ask me in public about the price (use PM). I want to avoid any potential problems that could arise against Govberg watches from publishing that type of information.

Congrats :D

I'm curious how much did shipping with insurance and the import duty fees run you with the transaction?

Hey In2Deep,

Shipping was 70 USD. Import tax is 17.5% of the total amount paid.

There's something I haven't mentioned yet, and is that the box went through the border and I wasn't asked to pay anything, no tax for now and the box has been delivered already. Not sure if I'll get a bill in few days, which I was expecting anyway.

Will post pictures soon :)

Previous to my deleted post I would just like to say that George has the problem covered. I have had a reasonible explanation for the delay of the COSC certificate so it should be here shortly.

Sorry if my previous post alarmed any of the members here but I can assure you all that George has the problem in hand so keep buying with confidence. I will post a review of my second Breitling :D when I receive my Certificate.

Cheers

Andrew

Thanks to you guys, I have purchased for Bentley model GMT from Govberg (Yes, from George too).
Transaction has been very pleasant and speedy. He did quote me the best price - better than any other .com price.

I would recommend dealing with Govberg 10000%.

Careful. Don't compare an AD's pricing to that of an internet/grey market seller. You can get them in trouble.
