Never thought orange would work, but that looks good!
The UTC looks slick on the Emergency...

Hay Gert.
Nice watch.

Quick Question. How long did it take to service.

Hi guys ! The service-time was a bit of a bummer to me : I brought it in the first part of july. Then my AD told me that Breitling closed completely for 2 weeks due to summer hollydays and that they even didn't have anybody there to accept watches that where send there by AD's for servecing or repair... Completely closed sauf a few security personel. Then I was told that I was in luck since it was it's first service it would not take more than 4 - 5 weeks after they re-opened. The first time the charge is free and they do all the necessary jobs to it without your concent. The second time you bring it in for service they (Breitling HQ) first make a rapport what needs to be done to it, they send that by post to the AD who summons you to visit him and put your John Hancock on this rapport and then sends it back to Breitling HQ and then your Emergency goes back in the waiting line for the service... taking another 3 to 4 weeks before you see it again. Price for a service : fixed 300 eur whatever needs doing to it. But like I said : first service is completely free.
For all you guys who still want one : here is a link for one on Ebay. The seller seems to be OK and there is a low reserve. No UTC... :(

Cool watch! Is the first service only a service or do they also touch up the cosmetics?

Yes I got a full description of the work done and it includes cleaning in and outside. It looks like new. But get this... they also serviced the UTC free of charge even if my AD noted that it was not necessary since he himself changed the battery and waterproofed it only a few weeks before !! It came back with a cool hard plastic fiery red card on which they noted the next time it needs a service, a booklet with photo's explaining what happens during a service and a cool soft case with Breitling labeled polishing cloth. They also stamped my maintenance book and gave me a very nice and apparently rare rust-coloured Breitling cap :D

Wish they still made the matching UTC's for the Professional series. Just the Black Co-Pilots now... :(

Your watch looks really cool. Love that Coral. :wink:
