I recently purchased my 1st Breitling and joined the forum. I purchased a pre-owned Avenger Chrono Titanium. Want to send it out for service since I don't know the last time it was serviced, but I am finding it hard to part with it for 4-5 weeks. Tried posting pics. Let me know what you think!! Thanks.

Assuming that you are posting in the replica section for confirmation that it is real, and yes it is.

A service is a good idea if you don't know the history, especially as the back has been off so dirt / dust / etc could have got in as well as the potential for compromised water resistance.

Awesome. Sorry, for not being specific around real or fake. Wanted someone to judge without a bias baseline.

Any referrals for the service? From all the dealers I asked it seems like they all ship them back to Breitling anyway.

Sending it to breitling is the only logical choice. They are the only ones that will be able to replace parts with OEM parts if it needs it.

ADs are generally not approved to do servicing, just minor fixes / adjustments - a regulation for example, that's why they tell you that they will send to Breitling. The Breitling website will give you the location of local service centres for you and you may as well send direct rather than relying on an AD as a middle man.

The fake says 3000M on the caseback.
