Wow! I honestly don't know if Breitling dials are held in place by feet/pins, a dog screw, are pressure fit or something else, but THAT is something I have never seen!! Sorry man.

I looked down at my watch and the dial is twisted. I am pretty upset as the watch is little more than two years old. It is an official Breitling and I am looking for advice as to what others might think is wrong. The Crown comes out all the way and controls the hand / date perfectly fine. When I shake the watch near my ear I do hear something moving about a bit, but that could be normal for a mechanical watch. I do work with my hands and I always wear my watch, that being said it hasnt taken any hits or anything that I know of, any ideas on cost of repair or something I can do to test what is wrong? Also, the dial doesnt move about at all, it is stuck in that position. http://i.imgur.com/85P42Zt.jpg?1 |

Just wanted to add more. As I tapped the watch againt my palm the dial does spin about, so what is it that would allow that to spin? |

The dials are held in place by multiple feet. For all of the feet to break there must have been a pretty serious knock to the watch that broke all of the welds. Will definitely need Breitling attention, and likely looking at a maintenance service. I suspect that Breitling won't repair the dial so you will also be looking at several hundred bucks for a new dial. |

What do you think the repair cost would run? Trying to prepare myself for sadness. |

Well if the date ring has moved with the dial then surely more than just the dial has spun? |

Any recommendations on a repair shop? There are authorized repair shops in the US, are they good? |
