Hello. I just had this Breitling 1450 chronograph relumed by Kent Parks, everestwatchworks.com. It cost $132, and was less than a month, from deposit to completion. He used vintage Super LumiNova™.

This model ref. 1450 is one of three I own. I purchased this particular one, new, in 1975, for $100.

The original lume was showing unattractive mold-like black spots, due to moisture getting under the crystal, in years past. The hour markers and hands were relumed.

I had the case refinished, a few months, ago, by Element iN Time, NYC, for $250.

It's been fitted with a Rouleaux "bullet" satin stainless steel bracelet, since 1994.
