I would assume it's going to be an entire dial change as it'll be easier for Breitling to just replace the dial than take the old dial off and then try to unstick the wings (which were't designed to ever come off) before reapplying the bigger ones. Breitling will want to do whatever is easier, even if it ends up costing you more. I'm not even sure if the fixing holes will be in the same place.

Why would you need to replace the wings? Your current watch looks perfectly fine to me.

It's going to cost you and I am not sure if end result is worth it.

:yeahthat

The bigger one looks awkward to me IMO. The money would be better spent on a service when you need it...

+1 The bigger wings almost hit the subdial. They look silly imo.

I would never buy a dial and just have someone swap it. Honestly your better off selling the watch and buying the big wings.
