The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello All

My name is Garret I am a college student very interested in luxury watches. I have owned numerous watches in the past handful of years and right now am about halfway saved to purchase a Breitling for Bentley 6.75 model all stainless steel with a silver(looks white to me though) dial. I live near Toledo Ohio so the nearest Tourneau is in Troy Michigan I called and they said the best price they could give me is 14% off the retail of $8835. So I kept calling different dealers then I called a certain jewelry store in Ann Arbor Michigan and they said they can sell to me at 30% so $6,184 (plus $30 to ship it to save me tax) off they are listed on the Breitling and Breitling for Bentley website as an authorized dealer and I also called Breitling and they said yes absolutely they are a dealer. The price just seems too good to be true. They said they can give me such a good price because they are the highest volume seller of Breitlings along the east coast. So i took a ride to Lewis Jewlers one day (only about an hour drive) and walked in and just acted like i was another customer strolling the store the place is kind of a dump but they carry a lot of high end watches and jewelry lines. I guess Im just kinda seeing what you guys think. I am not an expert on watches but I def know more than the average person.

Welcome!

I'd say that 30% off for a first time buyer is great, and as they are a legit AD you should be perfectly safe. Good luck with the shopping!

Enjoy your time here!

Welcome aboard.

Here in the "tight as cramp" UK it took me around 10 years to cultivate a relationship with my AD such that I was able to finally get 30% off my Bentley Motors.... and that was pure luck that I was in the right place at the right time, and he made it pretty clear it was a one-time happening. I'm lucky to get 10% usually.

You guys Stateside get some awesome deals, so yes 30% off as a first time buyer stikes me as pretty amazing, so I'd jump on that one in a heart-beat.

The silver dial is white - they just call it silver.

30% off is pretty good for a first time buy as others have said, but it certainly doesn't sound 'too good'.

Oh - and welcome to the boards

That is a good deal off, but you might want to edit your post not to include the dealer name as this is outside of Breitlings authorized discount amount of 15%. Dealers actually get in trouble for this

On a lighter note, congrats and

Welcome. You've held out for a beautiful watch. The discount you have been offered is good deal and even better watch. Some luxury watches don't offer any discount at all. Good luck with your purchase!:lingsrock:
