Advice needed for Breitling Purchase....

[Oldwilsonian]

Considering a Breitling Bentley 6.75 s/s Bronze Havana Dial - 48mm
Ref. # A44362 with brown croc. strap.

Purchase will be from a private dealer, watch is new with tags, boxes & papers. Msrp - $8440, can potentially buy for mid $5k's.

Have seen the watch previously at an AD, the metallic bronze dial looks incredible and with the brown croc. strap offset with the white stitching, IMO, the watch is stunning.

Never owned a Breitling before - any thing to be aware of with this particular model? how is the residual value, for what I can purchase it for is that a fair market price? I have a 71/2 wrist, so even though it is a 48mm fitment will not be an issue. I would sincerely welcome any thoughts, advise or guidance.

Kind regards.
