This isn't the first ruined watch I've seen on ebay, with the seller stating that it has just come back from a full service.

Now I'm not sure if certain dealers are refurbing watches themselves as I can't believe Breitling would destroy a case as the pictures below demonstrate

I'm sure we've all seen enough Emergency's to recognise this 'rounded off' appearance is not right.

Look how wonky this is between the lugs :shock:

I honestly can't imagine that the horrible case rounding we see there happened as a result of BUK. BUK have always been super-professional as far as my experience is concerned, s I can only assume that this watch was already badly butchered BEFORE it went to BUK for a service.

I totally agree with Driver.

My E went into BUK for a service, and came back looking vastly improved, especially considering the rough treatment I give it.

yep i agree, TWG are usually superb, however they do remove certain marks.

Davey, your E looks pretty much perfect, as I would expect from a proper BUK service. You have a nice chamfer to the case edges as it should be 8)

As I said, I'm wondering if certain dealers are performing refurb work??

I reckon its probably the 4th example I've seen and thats while serching a very limited range of models
