So as you can see above, I was rubbing my fingure across the bubbles on the clear scratch proof film, should have just pulled it off and thrown it away, but I seem to have pushed through the ink on the card. Is there anyway to get a replacement or it fixed? It's out of warranty now anyway but will still like to keep it as part of the package for re-sale value.

An expired warranty card will not matter much in the way of pricing, but I believe you can get a replacement from Breitling but I imagine there would be a fee.

I did this to one of mine. took it to Andrew Michaels and they restored it for free in less than a minute. I would think any AD could do this.

That's my understanding - AD can 'restore' it. Never heard of Breitling replacing a warranty card and would be amazed if they started doing that with the electronic ones, it was an absolute no go with paper for obvious reasons.

Retarded question but what does AD stand for?

I guess they are a kind of e-ink screen (like a kindle), the AD will plug it on to the reader which will refresh the screen and push the ink back into the cells that should have it in that have been pushed out. I have noticed the cards are very fragile but we don't have access to a reader to test my theory.
