There are likely to be better, cheaper and faster options open to you than sending to Breitling for service if you do buy it.


Please let me know what those are. I have always serviced my Navitimer religiously every four years. I would imagine that the 806 would need a service, but I may be wrong. According to the shop it keeps accurate time. Should I do something different? Should I only service it if the timing is off?

No you are correct you should get them serviced on a regular basis and the same for this one if no proof of recent service but Breitling aren't considered the best place to send vintage Breitling watches, there are more preferable places. Others will be able to advise where best in your region.
