I have an older Breitling (B13050.1), which has a rider tab (and screw) missing at the 30min mark. I believe the tab is 18K. I have been struggling to find a replacement. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Cheers, Daniel.

Contact Breitling, they should be able to help you out - certainly always used to have them in stock.

I had some rider tabs, screws and a crown replaced on exactly that model by Breitling recently.
It was no problem.

Thank you for the response. I have e-mailed breitling but have not yet received a response. Do you remember how much they charged for it and whether I have to leave the watch with them for an extended period? Thanks! Daniel

Just received the following response from Breitling and am a bit surprised that a tab costs so much:


Thank you for your email. The Breitling Boutique located on 5 East 57th Street New York, NY 10022 does have one of the #30 rider tabs and screw in stock. The 18KT #30 rider and screw has a charge of $ 175.00 plus tax. An installation fee is not charged when performed at the New York Boutique. If you would like the service to be performed same day please drop off your timepiece at our location in the morning hours to be picked up in the evening. Our technician is available Tuesday-Saturday from 10am to 6pm.
Feel free to contact me with any further questions.

Sounds about right - it is 18k gold.

Thats cheap, a well known UK dealer charged me £40 aprox $62 just for the pin to hold the bracelet to the head of the watch (Monty Legende ) and Breitling sent the same part free to my home now thats a profit

Don't forget that for that price, you're getting a screw too...or is that screwed? ;)

Now that I have been shocked with the price of a replacement of a tab - I tightened the remaining ones. : )
