What we look at on a Breitling

Léon Breitling founded the company in 1884 and it built its reputation on chronographs and on aviation — the Navitimer, with its circular slide rule bezel, has been in production since the 1950s and is still the watch most people picture when they hear the name. Breitling trades briskly on the secondary market, which means condition and completeness show up in the number more visibly than on rarer brands.

Reference and serial, on the case back or between the lugs
Box, papers and any chronometer certificate
Bracelet: full link count, and whether it is the original
Whether the movement is in-house or a supplied calibre
Dial and bezel condition, which drive the number on this brand

Breitling lines we buy

Superocean and Avenger: The dive and tool lines.
Premier and Transocean: The cleaner, dressier chronographs.
Emergency and limited editions: Valued individually.

Questions people ask first

Are the extra bracelet links worth keeping?

Yes. Missing links are a genuine deduction because they have to be sourced, so bring every link you have, along with the box and papers.

Do you buy quartz Breitlings?

Yes. Quartz models are worth less than their mechanical equivalents, but they are still bought and sold and we will give you a real number on one.

Will you buy a Breitling with an aftermarket bezel or dial?

Usually yes, at a lower number. Tell us up front what has been changed — we will find it during the appraisal, and it is a much easier conversation when it is disclosed.

Prefer to keep it? Borrow against the watch instead. Not local? Sell from home. Selling something else too? We also buy diamonds, jewelry and designer handbags.
