Post subject:  2010 models to replace old models
I'm just guessing here, but it seems the following product replacements take place in 2010:

- Cockpit --> Galactic 41
- Chrono Cockpit --> Chrono Galactic
- Cockpit Lady --> Galactic 32
- Starliner --> Galactic 30

Based on previous years, do you know when those product replacements take place effectively? In other words, do you know how long is it possible to order the old models if you want a piece that the AD hasn't got on stock, and the distributor hasn't got on stock either? In another words: if I want an old model to be manufactured by Breitling, how much time do I have now to order that model? Do I have to rush into my AD, or I have 2-3 months before the new models manufacturing starts?


Thanks,
Fiery

"Do I have to rush into my AD, or I have 2-3 months before the new models manufacturing starts?" You have a couple of month, don't worry. I would guess no more than 6 months are safe. When I tried to get a fromer SO from Breitling half a year after they introduced the current one, it was too late. But two months should be safe.

If I remember correctly, the B-1 was withdrawn in 2005 but there was still the odd piece at an AD as late as last year.

You may need to look further than the local AD but no need to panic!

Generally production switches to the new models straight after Basel so the new pieces start appearing in late May but as others have said there will still be stock at ADs for some time, you just won't be able to order specific pieces and will rely on what exists within the dealer network.
