HI Guys

Does anyone out there know if breitling will change the face of my SA I currently have the Black with white sub dials and arabic numbers but have realised that I now only own black faced watches and fancied a switch to the white batton face model.

If they do what sort of price should i expect to pay?

Thanks guys

John

This has been discussed quite a few times.

Breitling will do it, but charge a fortune. They insist on a full service and by the time you are done you are likely looking at $1,200 - $1,500 - and they keep the old dial.

Find a white baton replica dial and send it in to Breitling Service 8) They will be forced to replace the fake with a genuine
dial..... Many guys with the older Rolex GMTs used to do that 8) ;

8) THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY 8)

135€ dial and hands+50€ for quartz basic service that what breitling Portugal asked me to change my chrono avenger m1 dial, will not receive old dial or old hands

but still i think its a great price well worth it, 60/75 days waiting they told me. it comes directly from factory

still waiting for a call from them

It seems to be a very different price on one or two models - especially the discontinued ones. Your experience is the only one that I know of that was this cheap.
