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!

Not sure about the batons on the dial (solid I think), but the pushers and crown are rolled gold - 20 micron thick sheet laminated to a steel core.

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.
