Welcome to BreitlingSource.

An AD can validate the serial number with Breitling - you can find your closest on www.breitling.com. Service will likely be around $500 - not sure if it's higher in France, but wouldn't be unusual, as many places in Europe are slightly more.

You can find mid / late 90s boxes on eBay, papers may be harder. You may be able to find an instruction manual, but they aren't common.

Hello,
I have model A13322 which stopped in 2002.

Model A13022 is a non-chronometer certified version..... This would be a few years older still.....

I hope you bought this watch used.... as a 10 year + watch is hardly a new purchase.

What price did you pay? I paid about US$2500- for my used A13322 with breitling bracelet (no box or papers).

I bought a box off ebay for about US$50-

Thanks Roffension excellent information,as I,m still in the buying process of this watch in your opinion is it a good buy if I have Breitling service it when it arrives or will the dial colour be an expensive repair,I can still cancell the sale or return it within 7 days thanks again for your help :lingsrock:

Well if it is a colour change, and not an original colour (someone will be along to tell you - I don't have details of all colour options on the Old Navi) then Breitling will restore the colour to original with a dial change - and that can be several hundred bucks.

I always think that when a dial changes colors on you that there are several more problems with the watch maybe a leak or something so I would walk away from this watch there are many others out there. This is not always the case but its a gut feeling trust me there is always another one

:yeahthat I'd walk away too - a leak would seam understandable due to its lack of water resistance
