Hi all,
just got my B2 back from service.

I was reading all kinds of horror stories and I thought I'd share mine.

My watch was about 2.5 years old.
Problems were:
Bezel was getting stuck and there was a weird clicking noise when winding the watch.
My AD suggested me to send them in for a service. He also told me that sometimes Breitling picks up the tab for repair sometimes they don't... you are right outside of warranty period.

I was about 4-5 months out.

Anyway... to make my story short.
They fixed everything and did a complete service! FREE of charge.
Receipt didn't indicate what was wrong with it... however they did list the things that were done.

Hands B2 Rhodium, Ruthenium Counters
A42362 Complete Service Kit
Quality Control
Pressure Test
Movement Adjustment
Crystal Gasket
Back Gasket "O"
Push Piece Gasket "O"
Cap Gasket "1"
Gasket "O"

I was expecting at least $500 for it... but I'll take free any day!!! And 12 more months of warranty!!!

Watch looks great all scratches were removed... and run great!

AD was in MD Radcliff & Co.

Maybe this info will help someone who is considering sending your watch for a service! These 6 weeks were taking a lifetime!!!!

How is that that Breitling didn't charge you anything for service?

I also want to have my B-2 serviced for free... :yeahthat
