So long story short...I got pushed into a lamp post, running at full sprint, last night and I shattered the crystal on my Leather Strap Navitimer (I' don't know the model but my father gave it to me at my graduation it was a hand-me-down from him). The watch itself still functions but the glass shattered. How much would a replacement crystal cost (is that even possible?) are there any cheaper solutions...because I am a college student..thanks a lot in advance! I love this breitling and it obviously means a lot to me because my father gave it to me...so I hope it can be fixed :lingsrock:

It's a fairly easy replacement, but will cost a couple of hundred bucks or so. You will likely also be looking at a service as the watch has been compromised - that needs doing every 5 - 7 years anyway and is about $600. There aren't really any cheaper options because independents can't get access to Breitling parts.

Try JD Watchworks in San Francisco. He's an authorized Breitling repair center and usually comes in cheaper than Breitling USA.
