| Post subject: | '67 Navitimer |
Hi, I'm new to the forum and this would be my first post. I recently inherited the below Navitimer, purchased back in 1967 by my grandfather, it comes complete with box/papers and original store receipt and warranty (sadly expired). It left a couple of weeks back for Breitling for inspection / service. Breitling were very kind to accept the work deemed necessary, for £1200. This didn't surprise me, however, what did surprise me was the length of time for the work to be completed, 1 year! According to Breitling, new parts will have to be manufactured and thus the extended lead time. I am pretty upset that i will have to wait such a length of time to enjoy the watch. Has anyone else had this experience? Attachment: 2017-02-11-PHOTO-00005358.jpg

word of advice get it back now and send it to a regular watchmaker who will service the watch in 6 to 8 weeks keeping the original parts Breitling replaces parts with non-original parts and destroys the originality and value |

Thanks all, it all seems clear now. The watch has been requested for a return. It will then be heading to a watchmaker. Really looking forward to enjoying the watch...this year. |
