Question- I bought the Navi Montbrilliant (all stainless) with the copper/havanna face. It was kind of an impulse buy a year ago. I love the watch but want to change the face to white or black as it currently offered to go with more of my everyday suit look.
1. Is this possible?
2. How much should it cost?
3. How long should it take?

Prices seem to vary. My advice would be to sell the watch in the bull/sell/trade section and purchase a new one/ used ones with the dial color that you want.

I thought about that.
Am I better off selling it out right or trying to trade in with a store?

It costs a fortune.

Breitling insist on a full service, so there's $500+, and then the dial replacement cost - you are easily going to be over $1,000 (and they don't give you the old dial back).

There have been one or two people who have had cheaper work, but only on discontinued models.

You'll likely be better selling privately than trading in at an AD.

I'll buy it if The price is right and if you can post photos of every angle including paperwork and boxes. BTW I have a white face world and it's one of my favorite watches, great choice!!

Unless you're near Philadelphia, it's not plausible from my end. I dont want to get invovled in wire transfers, pay pal, etc. Thanks for the offer though.
