Hello All,
I have a Pluton my parents bought for in (I think) 1984. It's been a great watch and I've worn it every day since then. Last week, the lower left button fell off -- this is the button that controls the function of the LCD display. It's the metal button itself that fell off -- I can still stick a pin into the hole and work the display, but that's not practical.
I took the watch to my local, trusted watch repair professional and he can't find a replacement button through all his contacts. In the past I've tried to get replacement bracelet links from Breitling and they were totally at a loss, saying they had not had any parts for that watch in years, so I'm not too hopeful in contacting them myself.
Can anyone suggest someone who could help me find a new button? I also was wondering if the missing button might compromise the integrity of the case and allow water in.
If I can't fix this watch, I guess I'll be shopping for a replacement...
