It's gonna be in the region of £250-£350 i reckon.
Well worth it if you ask me.

Hi, I have a 2001 chrono colt quartz that by now probably needs a full service/overhaul. Does anyone know what BUK charges for one of these? Do you think it is worth it compared to the value of the watch? (does anyone have a rough ballpark figure for that?) The watch is running OK, but occasionally the chrono dials dont quite move all the way to zero on reset. I can manually move them round to zero by pulling out the crown and pressing the buttons. |

If it comes in around that then I think it will be worth it as the watch has sentimental value for me, being the first Breitling I bought for myself! (the first being an xmas gift from me mum!) - I don't think I could be parted from it even though it gets little wrist time with the 6.75 hogging the limelight at the moment! |

Cheers for that! I like the sound of £251 a lot better than £351!!! I just hope the chrono issue can be sorted in this overhaul price. |

I did just manage to pick up a Transocean Chrono (same movement to yours) for £540 which was a really good price |
