Some of you may or may not have seen this video, but I thought that I would bring it back to life for those of you that question why service costs as much as it does and after seeing this I am sold...ha

Holy cow. Is this type of service an option or mandatory when you need service?

And what does this cost in canada (shivering with fear)?

Its like getting a new watch again.

That video has done the rounds a couple of times on here, but it's always a great watch!

That's the full service in this vid. There is a partial service too, but in my experience Breitling make that decision for you based on how long it's been since the last service.

I can't tell you what it is in Canada, but in the UK my recent(ish) Bentley service cost around £400 with VAT.

I wish you were allowed to participate/look when they do the service on your own watch.

I recently had my TAG serviced in Melbourne, Australia and that cost me $500....so I sort of think it would be around the $600 in Australia.......

Anyone in Australia had one serviced recently and if so where and how often should they be serviced?? My TAG was every 5 years.........
