Dropped my 1903 into the Breitling service centre in Sydney on Friday. After 6 months of the watch functioning well outside COSC specifications, it had to be done. Would've done it sooner had I been in Sydney sooner. Out here we don't have the luxury of a service centre in each major city/state which makes even a regulation difficult. They're going to check the oils, movement etc to see what the problem is. It might be as simpe as a regulation but could easily be more. The watch is a few years old afterall. Importantly it's all under warranty which is nice. I feel naked though without it's reassuring presence. Depressingly I have to go back to my citizen (nothing wrong with Citizen, just not Breitling ![]() ![]() On another note, prices have certainly increased drastically over the last year. I know this topic has been bandied about a lot lately but I hadn't realised quite how much. I used my time well over the weekend to visit a few AD's in Sydney and I noticed that the Navitimer range has increased nearly 50% within a year ![]() Sadly there were no B01's to view, the 1st we can expect arrive in October; was keen to see it in person. |

Imagine how much more naked you would feel if you had to do the same thing with a SA instead of the 1903 ? ![]() |

After just over one week I have my 1903 back, good as new. Turns out it did require an overhaul as the oils had dried out after 5 years on the shelf so to speak (great call Roff ![]() ![]() Thanks for everyone who provided great advice. Another happy Breitling customer! |

Another happy Breitling customer! Only 1 week? Amazing. Maybe we should send our watches to the Sydney Service Center for quick results ![]() |

It may not sound like much Spartan and for those of you in the North America and Europe a week is probably laughable but for us out here that's a good timeframe. I have no complaints whatsoever! Then again a week may be good for you lot, I'm not sure what you expect ![]() |
