| Post subject: | Breitling's "Dial Exchange Policy" |
I learned something else while at my AD today, which some of you may or may not know: Apparently Breitling will give up to six months after initial purchase to change the dial at no extra charge. For example, if you decide that you want a blue dial instead of black, they will do it for you. They have to keep the original dial and send it back to Breitling. I understand the dial is not as expensive as I though it might be, but I still think this is a great feature. I realize later that you can still pay for a new dial, but this is a nice option. I am quite interested in a Steelfish with blue dial, but the AD only has black. Theoretically, I could get the black and wear the watch, while asking them to order a blue dial. Cheers, Carl |

Interesting! I wonder if that's truly free, or just the dial. In most cases you will also need new hands as most models use push on hands that cannot be reused, and I imagine that you have to pay for that. |

As far I as I knew, Breitling no longer did dial changes in that manner. I remember reading this somewhere. They stopped doing this within the last couple years.. but I've never confirmed it. I'd rather just wait for the correct watch.. |

I'll get more details on this when I go in this week. When I think about it, I'm sure it's not meant for the secnario I metioned. Probably, if you decide on a watch, then after a few weeks feel that you should have bought a different dial colour, they will oblige. I would certainly agree, I would rather have the right piece to begin with. Cheers, Carl |

Great share...I wanted to go with diamond markers but heard that all diamond markers from breitling come in the pearl face for the chronomat evo...would be awesome to get a silver face with diamond markers from the factory... |

When I was in Time and Gold back in July they told me that they would exchange the dial at no charge... but at la swiss they never mentioned it. I bought at la Swiss because they had the slate grey dial skyland avenger that i wanted and didnt want to wait |

They have given me wonderful service over the past 10 years, and I have no reason to doubt what they say. Based on their service and integrity, I would have no hesitation in recommending them or getting advice from them. Cheers, Carl |
