Hey guys,

So I stopped by my AD yesterday to buy an OEM black calf for my Blackbird BEB. He opened up the Breitling price list and we found that for the black calf and tang buckle, it'd be $215 list. He charged me $195 plus tax... He said that if he finds out it's a lower price, he'd charge me the new lower price.

Is that a fair deal? I know on this site it says $160 for black calf and $25 for the tang buckle, total of $185 (but those were 2009 prices).

Does that sound about right to you guys - $215 list for both calf and tang buckle (2012 price?)???

-Phil

According to my 2012 price list a leather strap lists at $175 and a steel tang buckle lists at $40. So, $215 is correct.

In the UK, the list price for that combo is £170 (or @ US $305) :shock: .

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask...... :evil:

I'll second that. Is that a BEB or black dial? Hard to tell with the AR and being color blind. Either way that is a sweet combo

It is polished BEB, and thanks! This is my first Breitling and I'm really enjoying it. Got a lot of compliments at work and someone asked me if I "bought another watch." Hahaha, I love the versatility a new strap gives! :lingsrock:
