Hi folks. Hope you are all tip top.

I have a Chronomat Chronograph with the pilot bracelet.

The seal has gone on the bracelet dial and moisture has tarnished the dial.

I am trying to find a replacement for the small dial.

Any help with sites, price etc?

Many thanks.

It really needs to go to Breitling. If you put a replacement dial on it without going through Breitling then the watch can never go back to them for service or they will charge you again for the dial replacement. If water has got in then there is likely also moisture in the movement and it needs professional service urgently - corrosion may be getting worse by the day.

Thanks for the reply.

It is the small bracelet movement where the problem is, the bracelet dial is the one that has suffered. To be honest I haven't got the money to fire it off to Breitling presently, so was looking to replace the small dial and having it sorted at my local watch guy but try as I might I cannot find an outlet for the replacement dial.

I assume that you mean the UTC, and I very much doubt that you will find a dial outside of Breitling.

You won't find it easily outside of Breitling.
