Gorgeous Condition - Original Booklets - Fully
Serviced - 1 Year Warranty
Today's
auction showcases this Certified Pre-Owned Breitling SuperOcean
with its original booklets in gorgeous condition.
Breitling's Colt SuperOcean
was originally operational at a depth of 1000M. It has powerful,
and sophisticated lines and a sturdy 43mm case including the crown
guards. It features a rotating elapsed time bezel with rider tabs
done in the classic Breitling style.
The watch possesses excellent legibility thanks
to its black dial with large luminous numbers, oversized luminous
hands and sapphire crystal.
Powering the watch is its precise and reliable
Breitling Caliber 17 engine, making the watch's functional
capabilities as robust as its style.
We were fortunate to
acquire our Colt SuperOcean in gorgeous condition - on the wrist
it presents as a 9.6 out of 10. The bracelet shows moderate stretch
- otherwise the watch presents as mint.
The case presents as
mint. So does the dial, and the crystal is scratch-free.
A
Master Watchmaker has overhauled the watch. It is keeping very
accurate time.
Accompanying
the watch are its original booklets.
Included
with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty
on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed
Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
Retail
price for the newest version: $5,250.00 USD + tax.
Breitling watches:
"There has never been anyone in a plane's
cockpit without a Breitling ... on his wrist -- or who would at
least wished to have one." - Musings of an aviation journalist
Worn by Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Jerry Seinfeld, and Tommy
Lee Jones, the company's watches are favorites of Hollywood celebrities
and anyone desiring to wear a timepiece of distinction.
According
to Breitling, since 1957 the SuperOcean has earned a solid reputation
in the field of diver's watches. As a true seagoing instrument
with helium escape value the SuperOcean was originally water-resistant
to 1000 meters (3300 feet).

Our
Selling & Shipping Information:
- 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If
you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome
to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within
30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal
is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience.
We hope you love it!
- The water
resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed
and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't
recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't
recommend showering or diving with it - even one that
was originally designed to be waterproof.
- We have
extensive international shipping experience. In the last
12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value
watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
- All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large
reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items
so you don't need to worry about your watch arriving safely.
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch
is coming in!
(Please do remember though that while we do our very best
and have careful procedures and quality control inspections
- we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of
your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you
- from time to time
some courier workers don't handle packages the way we
think that they would want their own packages to be handled.
Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping
of most is governed by a small spring that is only about
1/8 the thickness of a human hair.
The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem
free. However at times vintage watches
and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier
handling or just having a difficult trip to you.
But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer
a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell
(unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so
if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime
in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at
no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit
back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're
going to wear your new watch!
- Our official
warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the
watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping
of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse,
being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts
etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants
of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have
a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage,
tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just
might be able to help you.
- Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end
of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
- To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not
to end an auction early.
- Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent
payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
_______________________________________________________
Payment
information - we accept:
- Paypal

Discover via eBay checkout

the check clears.)
