Hello fellow breitling owners!! I've just aquired this rough, but loveley B13050 Breitling Chronomat.    I would like to know maybe how much a new lower chrono button and inner and outer bezels might be? And how can I polish the Rouleux bracelet to get it to shine. |

Congratulations and welcome to BreitlingSource. The best thing to do is to ask Breitling for a quote on the parts. The watch may well need a service and so you can get everything done at once. A full service will also include a full polishing to make the watch look like new. |

Thank you for the welcome! Can anyone tell me if the markers and buttons are plated or solid gold? Appreciate it! |

I'm a bit in a dead end when it comes to evalute the Breilting. Can anyone give me an indication what a B13050.1 is worth? Reason i'm asking is i'm going to insure it and need a little direction from the real profession beforehand. Mind you there is very deep scratch on the bottom chrono botton, and a number of dings both on the guard and bezel. Thank you people! |

Can anyone give me a rough evaluation on this watch due to insurance purposes? Thank you. |

In decent, serviced condition it should probably be insured for $1,500 - $2,000. It wouldn't fetch that on the open market, but that's safe for insurance. In current condition insurance value will be less. |
