The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I'm considering buying one of the super avenger blacksteel with carbon fiber watches, it's a limited run of 250 watches that are sold out. I would be buying from a friend at a substantial discount to msrp (nothing crazy but as much or more than you would expect off a non limited edition breitling). My question is will it hold value long term or will selling require me to take a bath financially? Quick pic below

Well, nobody has a crystal ball to look into the future but normally, LE's aren't more valuable than non-LE's. The problem is that Breitling has had so many LE and SE that it is not so special anymore. Well, that's my opinion. Although 250 is a low number, I don't think it will hold value as much as you would like to....

Early blacksteel pieces had a brief premium run - the Skyland sold on eBay for about 20% over list for a few weeks when it first launched. Since then Breitling has thrown BS at pretty much everything and removed any exclusivity it had. Like virtually every other LE this will end up being 'just' another used piece. From a $ perspective it will be worth more than a comparable vintage 'normal' SA, but that's because it cost more new, % residual value will be comparable. The good news with pieces like this is that the thing that makes them an LE doesn't limit the number of potential buyers in the same way that logo LEs do.
