Breitling Colt II quartz

Recommended Posts

Khronos

I got an offer to buy a mint genuine Breitling Colt II quartz, boxes and papers and all, for 1350 EUR. It's the black face version.

 

Has anyone ever had one? Anybody have an opinion on it?

 

I'm in doubt, because it's a quartz and I'm afraid I'll have trouble flipping it in case I get tired of it. And I usualy do get tired of almost every single watch I buy :) Are these fairly popular or hard to flip?

 

It fits nicely, even though it's only 41,5mm.

 

Should I pull the trigger or what? :)

It's a gen Breitling, you will not have a problem flipping it.

 

Just a loss......

Is the asking price a bit high? You have an idea on how much these usualy go for?

I thought it was a pretty decent price too. Dunno, gotta think it over. Thanks!

Watchfinder throws up these for prices:

They will probably give you as much as you pay for it if you were to sell it to them or part ex it.

Don't know if it's on bracelet, leather or rubber and I assume it's the non-chrono but I think 1350 Euro is really cheap - aren't they more than double that new? If it's in mint condition then it sounds like a cracking deal to me.

It's on a bracelet..No pics yet, I didn't want to scare the man with my camera on our first meeting, he was kinda shy :). But it's all there, the receipt, warranty, box, the whole package. And it's really nice, a couple of hairlines here and there, nothing major. He just needs the dough I guess. And you can tell it's a gen, it feels different than reps.

I wasn't really looking for a Colt, it was just an opportunity that came out of nowhere I was thinking to grab. It's a lovely watch, I just might give it a go. It's just that I get bored easily and should probably stick to reps, less financial damage :)

There will be no "financial damage" at that price - you will easily get your money back when you get bored.

I'm afraid there's some calling the seller and going to the bank to be done :D Thanks for the tips!

If I were you I would buy the automatic version.

 

If I were to go gen I would never buy a quartz, a lot of the pleasure from owning a gen lies in the movement IMO

 

You can find an auto Colt for less than 2000 us dollars on Chrono24

 

And it's a great watch.
