The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Just wondering if this is possible from breitling. Or is it something that I have to go do it from not authorized place?

Breitling will do it, it will cost well over $500. I've inquired a few years ago and I was told closer to $700. They can't quote over the phone, they need the watch in hand to quote a price but they gave me a price range after I prodded them a bit.

And it ends up costing more than that because they will also insist on a full service. For current / recent models it ends up being well over $1,000 all in.

Even discontinued models too?

To my understanding, any model. From what I have read here, it is generally agreed to be cheaper to sell the current watch and purchase one in the color you want if it is under $5,000. If it is a discontinued model and not one of their flagship models, it will almost certainly be cheaper (and quicker/less of a pain) to flip it for the one you want. If they are having you do the full overhaul on it, you could pay $700 or more (or less, depending on the model) just for that given you have to replace the hands as well, which is about $100-160-ish on top of the overhaul price.

There have been one or two scenarios where it's been slightly cheaper for really old (read pre COSC) pieces, but otherwise prices are comparable.

I asked earlier this year at BUK the cost to change my blue Chronospace to a yellow dial and their response was " we will do it but don't like to as the numbers on the watch correspond to a blue dial,we will exchange it at a total cost of £800 which includes a complete overhaul " I didn't bother

Well in that case if you are US stateside expect the cost to be an arm and a leg with how the dollar is doing
