well i had a bike accident a couple of weeks ago and my breitling was on scene, when i hit the deck over some gravel the bracelet was scuffed pretty bad, not very deep scratches but deep enough, and the case was hitted by a small rock and the result was a small dent :( my bike looked much worse but reparable to new condition the watch dont know...

last time i sent a breitling to a service it came all new, could they recover this kind of damage? or this is beyond repair... titanium is well knowned for easy scratch removal

here are some pictures

what do you think? i believe that the dent cant be undone but can be disguised whit some polishing

The bracelet does not look that deep and I am sure they can greatly reduce then "dent" so it is barely noticeable.

2 things...

1) When you ditch a bike who cares about the watch as long as you survive!

2) At least it wasn't a Blackbird! :lingsrock:

Looks like they should be able to fix that up pretty well :-)

I totally agree whit you, what could be a serious crash i walked away whit nothing but such a stupid crash, i almost stood up, just supported my weight whit the hand on the floor and stood up, that when the watch was damaged, a rock also hitted my helmet making a nasty chip on the side, not to mention my lovely triumph that got all marked on the left side.
Just got sad all my good things got damaged in this bad luck trip after a lovely day

Thank god i wasnt using the bb bs, the dlc would be damaged forever
