Okay everyone, this is a rather unusual offer, but the time is now. You have been hodling for months, for years, proving the masses wrong. The last couple of months have been quite a ride, but you never stopped believing. And we were right, despite what some – deliberately or not – ignorant Wall Street CEO might state... bitcoin is here to stay.

And now the time has come to capitalize on your gains and treat yourself to something that subtly says "I have made some excellent financial decisions in my life". Yes, some of you will finally be visiting the local Lamborghini dealer, but I'm talking subtle, refined... I'm talking high-end-Swiss-luxury-watch-sophisticated.

I am offering a Swiss made all original automatic Breitling Chronomat Evolution in pristine condition, including all boxes and papers, an extra metal bracelet and an original Breitling watch stand. It has a polished stainless steel case and a white concentric dial. Let the pictures (all made a few hours ago) speak for themselves:







I love the sapphire crystal that is glare proofed on both sides which makes it look like it doesn't have a glass at all!



And here is the full set:



Here is a video of the exact same watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCnBWKlAdec

The watch was bought at a Breitling dealer in Antwerp, Europe in 2007 and has been worn by me for a few years before it was put in a safe. Last month I bought a new leather Breitling strap and I had the watch completely serviced and cleaned up by a watchmaker for EUR 340 (around USD 400). This means the watch can be enjoyed for many years to come without any cost. For those who are not familiar with Swiss luxury watches, this is an automatic instrument which means it is not powered by a battery but by the movement of your wrist. My watchmaker was so kind to take some pictures of the actual service of this watch:







If you wonder why it costs that much for a service, you should definitely watch this video made by Breitling on the maintenance of a mechanical chronograph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKLH1np94aY

The watch comes with the new brown leather strap attached, but I am also adding a OEM metal bracelet (this does have a few deskdive scratches on the clasp, but I am basically adding this for free). Here you can see how it looks on the watch:





My asking price for the total package (watch + strap + bracelet + boxes and papers + watch stand) is 0.6 0.45 BTC.

Shipping cost depends on location. Minerjones can act as an escrow as well as a reshipper if needed.
 
Contact me if you would have any questions or need more info or pictures!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Sent you a PM!

Without a doubt!

Quoting from the interwebz:

Breitling is without a doubt one of the most admired and sought-after watch brands for aviation professionals and fantasy fly boys alike. The brand has been making watches for the aviation industry for over a century and its watches have accompanied pilots on numerous groundbreaking flights and voyages.

Couldn't have said it any better. Smiley

You are most definitely right, good Sir! Smiley

BTCC box was for display only, what's inside could buy you 5 of these watches. Cheesy

That's unfortunate. Otherwise you could've considered the watch (+box) as sold  Grin
Anyways, good luck on your sale!

Thanks

At the time it was USD 4000 for this watch on a leather strap. I'm including the OEM metal bracelet and the Breitling stand + the watch has had a USD 400 full service, so it's a very interesting deal.  Smiley

The same price as here: http://www.chrono24.com/breitling/chronomat-evolution-a1335611g569--id7249920.htm
So 0.3BTC is a good offer.
