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 |
