Does anyone know a ballpark turn-around time for a World sent in for a general service to Breitling HQ? I am going to be sending mine in to check for water damage and general maintenance. Any general info would be helpful. Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free |

Someone who has recently got a regular service back from BUSA can probably correct me, but I believe it is currently 8 - 10 weeks. Of course if you wait much longer before sending that potentially water damaged piece in it could be longer as they wait for a long list of parts from Switzerland

I've been waiting for the warranty card to send it in, if I don't send in the card with it they won't just charge me for the damage repair if any but also for general maintenance? Should I just send it in regardless of the card? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free |

Should I just send it in regardless of the card? I would phone them up, tell them that you have a potentially water damaged watch that needs attention and want to send the warranty information separately if they can't confirm from their records that the watch is still under warranty. I suspect that they will be more than accommodating. |

I will send the World out today, along with a note explaining the warranty card situation, it should not be a problem. I just hope it doesn't take too long, but either way at least it will be like new and fully operational when I get it back. |

Thanks for the info. I sent it off yesterday so the waiting game begins. As soon as I hear something I will update the post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I got a call from BUSA today, they let me know there was moisture damage to the movement, so the watch is getting serviced, plus a complete overhaul while its there and its all covered under warranty. Lesson learned for sure. They said it could take up to 8 weeks but it had been noted as expedited so may receive it sooner than that. I realize that I dodged a bullet and this could have been charged instead of covered by the warranty, so anyone who reads this, NO WATER FOR NAVITIMERS PERIOD! |

Glad to hear they didn't question you and are doing the work under warranty. Beats the heck out of paying for it yourself! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2 |

Yeah, I will definitely stay out of the puddles from now on. It could have been much worst. Thanks everyone for the info. |

Glad to hear that Matt. Should be looking like new now. They did a great job on both of mine. |
