Where would the best place be to buy a new one?
Only thinking about it at the moment, but i know i will end up buying one so have been looking at their prices online and they vary!
Don't think i have the knowledge to buy one off eBay as i could not tell if it was fake or not and would always be wondering if it was or not, and the big well known AD's obviously have a higher price range!
If i was going to buy one it would have to be new and from somewhere reputable!

Banks Lyon in Lancaster. Ask for Bob.
Shop around the dealers, but try the Boutique in st Anne's Sq Manchester, they can sometimes offer a better deal and have a comprehensive stock. I've bought a few from there and customer service is excellent.
Thanks! 👍
Try Andrew Michaels

Biggest Breitling dealer in UK
And a nice chap too!Originally Posted by andrewcregan
He certainly is (as are the others in the shop) Great prices too.
What about a WTB here Matt there a fair amount of depreciation on a new Breitling http://www.breitlingsource.com/phpBB...hp?f=6&t=14344

Andrew, Sam (Andrews Son) and Rosie all great people to deal with and have anything you could ever want he may even throw in some freebies as well.
What is WTB Patrick?
WTB stands for Want To Buy and is one of the sub-forums here.
I would add another vote for Andrew Michaels. They are brilliant.

Ah ryt, thanks for clarifying that, i think there is only so many forums i can see, maybe restrictions because i am a new member, cant see a classifieds either but maybe there ain't one!
Another vote for Andrew Michaels. They did a very good deal on my Navitimer last week.
Andrew Michaels or Banks Lyon (I always deal with Aziza) are both my main dealers although I have to give mention to Parkhouse in Southampton as they've always been really good to me too.

+1; Bob is a great chap to deal with.
I have also bought new from Andrew Michaels (with the very kind assistance of our own andrewcregan).
These two options seem to be where 90 of new TZUK Breitlings are bought from.
Hallo Matt,
I am a rather passionated Breitling collector - my experience is stay away from Ebay, but search watch-forums like these and try to find what you are looking after.
1) Much better price
2) First buy the seller, then buy the watch: most forums have a section heroes and villains.
You can also try Chrono24, but also there, you must do your "homework".
I have a Chrono Superocean ( daydate silver with blue subs ) and a Breitling B2 that I will sell.
But probably on www.horlogeforum.nl, since I have not enoughs post here ;)
Ah, If you are not sure about buying a real or a fake Breitling, post some foto's on Watchuseek Breitling Fake Busters - they will gladly help you.
I think the most dangerous types to buy are the Chronomat ( they put an Asiaon Valjoux in it - very bad movement ! ) or - and that is more dangerous, the SuperOcean Steelfish ( I have heard that they use ETA movements ). Beware - also box and papers can be fake :(
For Matt,
Some wathes that I probably never will sell :
- - - Updated - - -
Thanks for that Marc, i normally rush into thing when i want something, but not this time, will take my time and get the right Watch, and although i really like the look of some Breitling models i haven't ruled out Omega too, i like the 45mm Planet Ocean, all i know is in the not so distant future i will end up nice Swiss Time piece! :)
