somehow, from reading these forums, I'm gathering that Breitling parts and services are very expensive.
does anyone have any examples of what they paid for a given part or repair?
does anyone know how Breitling parts costs compare to other brands with watches in similar price brackets, like Omega or Rolex?
I will just always remember a statistic on car parts prices from the early 80's, when Honda's new Civic cost 5 times its retail price if you purchased it in parts, while most European cars cost 2.5 to 3 times, if bought in parts.
Of course, the European car companies have learned from the Japanese since. The Japanese way lowers the price on a new car, shifting cost away from the new car buyer towards owners of older cars.
oh well, I think I'll stop, I got far enough off the subject already
. Hope this helps. Steve
