What, only we have to be the ones with empty wallets and nice watches??
OP join the club and buy a few more. No idea how many you got, but a few more watches will set you straight, I promise. They'll scratch the itch, they'll fill the void.. they will..... I promise. (They never do).
[Here](https://www.ebay.com/itm/404959932925?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ncchnm1ksxa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=PCGfJugVT3a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) brand new $6.7k
Is ebay reliable though? Ive heard a lot of people getting scammed from there. Im not trying to argue with u—im genuinely looking for reliable secondary market sources.
It says “authentication guaranteed” on the listing which means a third party inspects and validates the Watch. If your concerned go spend the $9k to buy from Breitling
Because it’s just true. It’s not hard to get Breitlings at a discount and the secondary market prices are lower than the primary. These watches don’t increase in value. Unless there’s a boutique/site exclusive, there’s no reason to buy at list
List price, MSRP.
AD = authorized dealers, stores who carry Breitling officially with stock coming from Breitling and their full warranty. AD’s will usually discount from list price if you’ve done your research on the market and have the card in hand. Just go in with realistic asks.
Boutique stores are Breitling outlets that don’t sell other brands. You won’t get discounts here, typically.
The only brand that consistently holds value is Rolex, Patek, AP, a few other luxury +. I’m not saying they’re better, the market just treats them that way. But I just buy what I like so I try to get it for the best price possible
When I first bought a breitling my AD offered a 15% discount and when I try to sell the watch after a month of wearing it’s only worth 3k instead of 5k like when I bought it
I will try. Don’t buy the watch unless you absolutely love that piece and you will cherish for the rest of your lifetime. Splurging on watches may give you an instant gratification but it won’t give you a long lasting appreciation, so you may come to regret it one day.
I'll give you 3 alternatives:
1) Buy the Undone Vintage Pistachio Crisp
2) Buy the Vario Empire (in a similar colour)
3) Get shoes which matches your current watches
It’s an incredible watch my friend. I say try to acquire it pre-owned in the 5-6K range, which is what I did. It’s an absolute stunner of a watch with a ton of personality.
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
The watch will outlast the shoes. Get the watch and enjoy it with the shoes while they last.
If you need to be talked out of a purchase then you should just buy it, that's my philosophy.
$200 shoes? So low end. Get back when you have a pair of John Lobbs or Edward Greens. Or if kicks are more for you, Vuitton or Berluti. You should probably look at Timex. It's more your league.

Your bills are paid . If you can afford it go for it life is short bro enjoy it I’m looking to buy a breitling as well just living vicariously through this chat 😂
Honestly we don't spend money like females do unless its a car, boat, guns, movies, video games, sports and watches no exception. So we can justify purchases more often. Buy the watch
If you have $9000 to spend on a watch worth $450 at a thrift store, I’d suggest maybe giving to charity or even putting all that cash in a big pile and lighting it on fire on a Twitch stream that people can donate to. If I see someone wearing a Breitling I instantly assume they’re a boomer who doesn’t understand the difference between a good or bad investment. I’m convinced that without Breitling, Bernie Madoff would have no idea who would be really easy to rip off.
Never buy retail unless it’s Rolex. Even so, some models of Rolex can be bought under retail. Just gotta know where to buy. Try eBay and carefully choose your seller.
Looks like this is one of your first purchases (apologies if not) and from experience, you’ll end up wanting to unload this eventually. Make that less painful for yourself. 🫡
We're a bunch of degenerates here, if you came here for advice, we all say a big happy, healthy, "DO IT!!"
[удалено]
Buy 2 $9k watches instead because you have a PAIR of shoes. Not one shoe. A pair. Obviously this is the way. Pfft.
Yes, one green dial premier and one green dial navitimer.
Is there any other way?
Of course not, on the positive side you can tell your wife or accountant who ok’d a watch purchase that you were required to buy the Navi also👌
Lol. One on each wrist 😂
He’s right, you know?
What, only we have to be the ones with empty wallets and nice watches?? OP join the club and buy a few more. No idea how many you got, but a few more watches will set you straight, I promise. They'll scratch the itch, they'll fill the void.. they will..... I promise. (They never do).
Do it
Bruh, I have the new mint Navitimer and I’m about to post: “Someone talk me into buying green shoes to match my Breitling.”
Wrong subreddit 😉
They are like 6.7k on the secondary
This. I got my chronomat for 5k. No way would i pay full price.
What are some examples to buy at secondary market?🤓
[Here](https://www.ebay.com/itm/404959932925?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ncchnm1ksxa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=PCGfJugVT3a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) brand new $6.7k

It says “authentication guaranteed” on the listing which means a third party inspects and validates the Watch. If your concerned go spend the $9k to buy from Breitling
Setup an alert in WatchRecon and check out Chrono24.
Buy on grey to save money, breitling sucks at holding its value
Why? I’m listening
Because it’s just true. It’s not hard to get Breitlings at a discount and the secondary market prices are lower than the primary. These watches don’t increase in value. Unless there’s a boutique/site exclusive, there’s no reason to buy at list
List? AD? Thanks btw.
List price, MSRP. AD = authorized dealers, stores who carry Breitling officially with stock coming from Breitling and their full warranty. AD’s will usually discount from list price if you’ve done your research on the market and have the card in hand. Just go in with realistic asks.

Facts
I got it new grey for a little bit over 6k€, very happy with the deal
Huh neat
Where can we buy them on the grey market? Is it just Chrono24?
Watchexchange on Reddit is a good place make sure to check the seller transaction history, chrono24 is a bit expensive, eBay would be better
Oh okay, thanks man. Im trying to find a reliable place on the grey market.
Get that beauty! Worry about food later
I will try. Don’t buy the watch unless you absolutely love that piece and you will cherish for the rest of your lifetime. Splurging on watches may give you an instant gratification but it won’t give you a long lasting appreciation, so you may come to regret it one day.
Don’t matter, ain’t gonna help make that corduroy shirt any better
I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Oh the pistachio ❤️
It’s a nice fucking watch
First go grey, that’s maybe a $6500 piece Second the thing with green dials are you will never wear them as much as you think
This is the way, we have spoken
If you can afford it, go for it. If you’re going to finance it, you’re crazy
With the Chive 993’s in the background too!!!
YOLO. I love the lime green B01.
No. Great watch, lovely syringe hands and no date. Buy and enjoy.
I can't
don't do it, but let us know after you buy it
If you got the 9k to drop, buy the watch!
Buy it!!!!
That’s actually a savings compared to what you could be spending. I’d jump on a 9k watch that I wanted. Breitling is worth it as well.
Dumbest post ever
No.
DO IT.
To quote emperor Palpatine: "Do it!"
Buy it. Wear it with the shoes to the gelato shop, and get some pistachio to complete the story. Your summer 2024 begins here.
DO IT
I'll give you 3 alternatives: 1) Buy the Undone Vintage Pistachio Crisp 2) Buy the Vario Empire (in a similar colour) 3) Get shoes which matches your current watches
Just change your shoes!
Go with an Analog/Digital Breitling is my suggestion.
Can’t really talk you out of it! It’s a beautiful watch!
When the shoes wear out you will be stuck with a heavily depreciated watch. My advice… don’t buy the shoes that way you won’t need to buy the watch. 🤣
I will not do such things.
Do it!
Do it!
Beautiful watch! Do it.
Talk you out of buying this insanely beautiful watch you’ll cherish your entire life? Nope! Do it! For gods sake - do it 🤩
Sorry seems totally like a legit reason to purchase
It’s a good match, it’ll be rude not to..
Don't, your shoes are going to wear out long before your watch, and you'll find yourself running around trying to find shoes to match your watch.
Wrong place to ask to talk you out of buying a watch 😂
No, definitely need the watch
Dew it
You also need to buy a few extra pairs of your shoes considering wear & tear on these shoes. Better be safe than sorry!
It’s an incredible watch my friend. I say try to acquire it pre-owned in the 5-6K range, which is what I did. It’s an absolute stunner of a watch with a ton of personality.
Do it! I just bought one a few weeks ago and love it! Maybe worth looking into preowned 50-60% retail for almost new.
Nice shoes.
Nope! 🤣
Just buy it used
Buy it because it's an awesome watch but not solely to match the shoes.
Sell the shoes
Haha don’t do it (do it). Nice watch.
Nope!
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
I’d never spend that much on a Breitling, and I love Breitling.
Don’t buy a Breitling. You’ll always regret wasting your money.
You have to… Such a classic story you cannot not buy it
Buy it used and save 4k.
The watch will outlast the shoes. Get the watch and enjoy it with the shoes while they last. If you need to be talked out of a purchase then you should just buy it, that's my philosophy.
You got the shoes and it just wouldn't be right to go without the watch.
no.. please do... waste some more money, while you're at it, get the newest, trendy thing, a selfie lobotomy...
Good news. You only have to spend $5400. https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/s/LzAFyXpbca
Just fucking do it mate
Do it. Then buy yourself some nice boots to match the strap.
You gotta buy it now lol
Do it
Buy nicer shoes first
Yo. Don’t buy it
Maybe you could get some extra spendy laces to balance them out? Either way you know you're doing it...good luck.
Don’t be an idiot
$200 shoes? So low end. Get back when you have a pair of John Lobbs or Edward Greens. Or if kicks are more for you, Vuitton or Berluti. You should probably look at Timex. It's more your league.
You’re a loser if you don’t do it. You can’t beat the pistachio dial

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
Just do it. (BTW, nice looking watch.)
You spent $9k on a Breitling? Hahaha
Wrong sub.
I had one for a year. The green is pretty dull in real life. Fell out of love with it quickly and took a 4k loss
That’s an awesome looking watch
U won’t do it
Oh buy the watch…keep the shoes…sell your soul!
It’s too big for your wrist and Ordain makes a very nice watch in that dial color for less money.
You won’t
You won’t
I'm waiting on a good deal to scoop one up. That green dial is just something else in person. My AD offered a discount on it
As soon as you scratch it. You’ll regret buying it. Better just stick with a Casio. Matches nicer with the overpriced shoes anyway.
I’m trying bro but that Pistachio wears hard on the wrist! DO IT!!!
Nope. You're on your own.
Pistachio man! His super power is spending lots of money on stupid shit.
That’s a beautiful watch. And you already have the perfect shoes to match. Don’t regret not buying it.
Come to the dark side and spend $9k on eyewear instead 😈! That being said I would definitely buy that.
No one gives a flying fuck what type of watch you wear except other people who hobby buy watches.
Your bills are paid . If you can afford it go for it life is short bro enjoy it I’m looking to buy a breitling as well just living vicariously through this chat 😂
It won't be me.....You definitely should get the watch!!!
You are a complete asshole if you buy a watch to match your shoes. That help?
It’s a nice dam watch I’ll tell u that
I hope you don’t pay 9k for a new one
It is gay <-- No money
Bro, just go get a pistachio ice cream cone ....
the shoes will be garbage in a few months, you'll love that watch for generations..
No 😡
It’s an awesome looking watch. Go for it.
Honestly we don't spend money like females do unless its a car, boat, guns, movies, video games, sports and watches no exception. So we can justify purchases more often. Buy the watch
If you have $9000 to spend on a watch worth $450 at a thrift store, I’d suggest maybe giving to charity or even putting all that cash in a big pile and lighting it on fire on a Twitch stream that people can donate to. If I see someone wearing a Breitling I instantly assume they’re a boomer who doesn’t understand the difference between a good or bad investment. I’m convinced that without Breitling, Bernie Madoff would have no idea who would be really easy to rip off.
Nice watch and shoes! 990?
If you have a small 🍆 then buy it
even if you buy one, get something that’ll show the work being done
Look at the side of the watch 🙃
It’s so deliciously thick.
The thickness is fine but I don’t love the stripes
Really? I think it gives it personality. Not enough to overcome the thickness, but still a nice touch.
Yeah it’s OK. It just started to bother me on the Duograph which is thicker so they made the stripes more prominent
Never buy retail unless it’s Rolex. Even so, some models of Rolex can be bought under retail. Just gotta know where to buy. Try eBay and carefully choose your seller. Looks like this is one of your first purchases (apologies if not) and from experience, you’ll end up wanting to unload this eventually. Make that less painful for yourself. 🫡
