Has anyone bought from Chronext ?
Can you confirm legitimacy and a word on how they are to deal with ?

They are legit.. the only warning I will give you is if your watch needs servicing if you do not have an activated warranty Digital Card from an AD you wont be able to send the watch into Breitling for warranty work. You will have to send it into Chronext and you wont know exactly what parts are going into your watch during repairs and they wont also update the movement like Breitling does whenever they discover issues or if you have parts that they know will break down quicker than normal.

Sending it to the mother ship is always better than a grey market dealer for warranty work. I am in Canada and I have not found their pricing that compelling for me to go that route. If you talk to any AD right now they are hurting bad because of the pandemic .. I have been able to score some great deals.

The guys and girls in here and Ninjas though and if my advice is wrong I am sure someone will correct me. Good luck!

The watch is brand new so all warranty documents are with it.
What do you mean by an activated warranty digital card?

Big grey sellers such as Chronext typically source their watches from ADs and so the warranty card will typically have been activated. It's not generally a problem - though Ezayakyala is right to raise it since it's a question you need to ask.
