    Used Airwolf should i buy it???

    Hello

    I recently bump into a store selling used watches and i saw a Breitling Airwolf in a bracelet together with the co-pilot module (newer version). It is selling at $3950. It is clean all round as the shop already sent in for serving and polishing.. i check on the net and found that a similar combo will cost around $5000++.. So should i pull the trigger

    Anyway how loud is the alarm?? i heard it was very loud and also ppl told me that B's are known for their good workmanship, care to clarify it?? Will this quartz watch last for a long time to come as i really interested in Breitling quartz watch

    Will it look good in my 5.5 inch wrist??

    Hi, as long as you are happy with the seller that it is genuine then there doesn't seem to be an issue especially as they are sending it for a service/polish (back to Breitling?).
    The alarm is fairly loud even when the watch is on the wrist (it should wake most people). You shouldn't have any issues with the superquartz. Very accurate too.
    Breitlings are a very high quality watch and finish and fit are fantastic.
    Will it look good on a 5.5" wrist? Well, only you can answer that one. Some people will say "it looks too big", others "it is just right". If you think it looks good, get it!
    Post some pictures if you pull the trigger.
    Brgds,

    You were in the store and have questions but didn't ask?
    Try it on and see if you like the way it looks.
    Ask the dealer to try the alarm

    as to the price. it seems there is a feeling we should not discuss price on the forum.
    That said, you can usually buy new and find a 15-20% discount.
    But I don't know what the situation is in Malaysia

    Sounds like a decent price for one with a Co-Pilot module. My question to you would be which dial and which handset does this Airwolf feature? Also, you say that you've got a 5.5" wrist? Hmmm... That might be a bit small to pull of a watch this size, but of course you have to determine that for yourself.
