Has anyone asked Breitling to re-engrave the serial number on their watch that's in for servicing? If they make everything else on the watch like new, why not restore the worn s/n? |

I don't think yet do, no. They are printed on the inside of the case for their own reference though iirc. |

They will not. Serial is not on the inside of the case, it's on the movement. |

They only seem to do this if the client actually requests it and they seem to replace rather than reingrave that back. With that said, I called Breitling USA that verified it isn't an issue given the SN is not only there, so they will still work on a legit model with the outer SN polished off. Mine is pretty hard to read as its already been polished by Breitling once, so I was worried about it and called B USA because of it. So as far as I can tell, the only reason to have them do this (which will obviously take quite a lot of time and possibly money) is if you resell the watch, as a lighter SN may scare off some buyers. |
