Hi all, Please go easy on me im new.... but you could probably tell as this is my first post.... First the flattery... I'm looking at buying my very first Breitling, as you boys (and girls) seam like the unofficial experts... Now im stuck contemplating between the B1 and the professional airwolf.... As now i've kind of budgeted between £1k - £2k... but in all fairness i haven't a clue! now firstly i've seen this B1... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BREITLING-B1-PROFESSIONAL-WRIST-WATCH-GENUINE-/200564294589?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item2eb29043bd Now its not that far away, seams a good price, and what looks like all paperwork etc... plus i'll be able to check with the dealer that changed the battery on the 11th I have a few more pictures which have been emailed over but i keep getting an error when trying to upload... will try again later. Second up... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2009-MINT-Breitling-Professional-Airwolf-A78363-Papers-/380256558217?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item58890e9c89 Now its a bit far away but i might be able to get somebody to inspect on my behalf, again price seams ok, maybe a little higher than what i wanted to pay, possible shortage of paperwork... though being a dealer, with very good feed back its not unduly worrying is there a third option?? Thank you for your advise Regards Richard - Lancashire UK |

Firstly, welcome to BS. Personally, i wouldn't go for either of those two watches. The first one (B1) is the older A68062 and for that money, a little patience and luck you could find a SQ version for not much more. Secondly, the Airwolf. For that money again, you should be able to pick up an Airwolf with ALL the paperwork and boxes and the spare links which this one doesn't seem to have. The seller is 100% reputable and describes his watches accurately as far as i know, but as i said, you should be able to pick one up that comes with "everything" for around that price. That is my opinion only, so good luck with your search. Do not rush, and the right one will come to you. Nick |

 Also: The B1 has issues where by it is being sold by someone who is not the owner. I have had increadible delays in getting an item I have won in similar circumstances. The Airwolf has restrictions on payment options that do not include Paypal despite it being assumed they do by the logo being used. Always read the smallprint. Good huntin' , the right one will turn up, just be patient. |

Thanks Guys, usual me jumping in head first... I'll see what turns up on the for sale area on here as there seams to be some decent deals by repeat sellers... another option is buying in Geneva? I usually fly there when i go on my ski adventures, does anyone have any ideas of discount applied off UK prices? could smuggle one back on my wrist lol Again, thanks for your help. Richard |
