Hi, I have a 2001 chrono colt quartz that by now probably needs a full service/overhaul.

Does anyone know what BUK charges for one of these?

Do you think it is worth it compared to the value of the watch? (does anyone have a rough ballpark figure for that?)

The watch is running OK, but occasionally the chrono dials dont quite move all the way to zero on reset. I can manually move them round to zero by pulling out the crown and pressing the buttons.

It's gonna be in the region of £250-£350 i reckon.

Well worth it if you ask me. :lingsrock:

Thanks for that! If it comes in around that then I think it will be worth it as the watch has sentimental value for me, being the first Breitling I bought for myself! (the first being an xmas gift from me mum!) - I don't think I could be parted from it even though it gets little wrist time with the 6.75 hogging the limelight at the moment!

First figure is for service, second for full overhaul, so looks like £251. Give them a call and they'll quote you. Time is about 6-8 weeks, they have my Blackbird in at the moment. That was quoted at £280

Cheers for that! I like the sound of £251 a lot better than £351!!!

I just hope the chrono issue can be sorted in this overhaul price.

Either way, it's cheaper than buying a new one :nana:

I did just manage to pick up a Transocean Chrono (same movement to yours) for £540 which was a really good price
