Hello all,

I have a Chronomat purchased last year with the white dial. After a while, I'm thinking of changing the dial to the blue color. Can I just purchase the blue dial from the AD and have them do it for me? Has anyone done this before? What's the cost?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Sam.

Didn't do it but it ain't cheap.
Better solution is to sell the watch and buy a new one with preferred dial color.

Hi bnewbie,

How much is the cost if you know? I am thinking it will not cost more than the loss I would incurr if I sell the watch. Do you agree?

Hi.
Driver was quoted about 600 Pounds for Legende dial change and other thing is that Breitling will tell you that full service is required. Alltogether will cost you well over 1000 $.

For a dial change on a Montbrillant Legende I was quoted well over £600 GBP. Admittedly that was for one with gold baton markers, but I'd assume the price would be similar.
