Hi all
I have been offered a great 1965 SuperOcean Chronograph 2500 that needs a crown and complete bezel and insert.
Is there anyone who can help? And would Breitling be able to sort it?
Thanks in advance
Neil

Likely not Breitling. In the US chronodeco is the default recommendation, but he may have problems with those parts so you would want to check with Mark Heist at Horological Services in PA.

In the UK Breitling can actually do the work, but price isn't worth it. Others may have recommendations for UK watchmakers who can source the Breitling parts.

You probably mean a ref 2005. Someone has been trying to flog a parts watch like that on ebay for a couple of months with no takers. I did a little bit of research through my contacts and couldn't find the missing inner bezel anywhere although I did find an nos dial. There's just too many parts that are missing that aren't available anywhere anymore. Way too much of a project for even me and I like projects. :roll:

Any info on that one as the one I have been offered just needs an outer bezel and a crown.
Cheers
