Hey guys, I just purchased a Breitling Navitimer Fighters watch that needs a little care.... I am looking to source a new dial and datewheel and possibly some new hands. I cant seem to find a good place to source these parts. Any one have any of these parts for a Navitimer that you would like to sale and/or can you point me in the right direction of where to buy? I am in the US.

Thanks,

Patrick :lingsrock:

The best unofficial source is ebay and forums like this. This is however going to be a very slow and painful process and no guarantees that you will find what you are looking for.
There are no other official sources of Breitling spares as Breitling do not sell spare parts.
Breitling can replace these parts for you as part of a service which you can get done by sending the watch to BUSA or other Breitling Authorized Maintanance Centre either directly or via your local Authorised Breitling Dealer.
All parts are on exchange basis, i.e. Breitling keeps the old parts.

Breitling service is definitely the way to go. When you start going down the route of unapproved dial swaps Breitling are very likely to refuse to touch the watch again.

Have to agree with the messages on here about going the Breitling service route. It is quite expensive, but the watch will come out looking like new. They will completely overhaul the watch so will change/clean anything that needs doing. Very recommended.
