The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi,
Quick question. Is the box that comes with Chrono Evo an older style, meaning that the watch is older, i.e. pre 2008? Also, this watch seems to have a sticker on its back which is kind of strange?

Thanks!

Not sure about the box, but I believe the sticker is applied when a watch comes back from a Breitling service. Others can correct me if I'm wrong!

That box was generally used for 2003-2005 model years. Since the Chronomat Evo was introduced in 2005, it could be a 2005 model if this is original box.

Thanks for the responses. I have come to find out that this watch is from 2005, but apparently just had the service from Breitling which cost $640. I assume this is the complete overhaul?

Would you shy away from a watch that's nine years old? And does 3k seem like a fair price?

Thanks!

That cost is probably full service, and given that the watch will run for the next hundred plus years with proper servicing, nine years is nothing. I don't do pricing but the FAQs recommend checking completed eBay sales and dealer asking prices on Chrono24. Evo is a popular watch so huge number of comparables available.
