hello there i have a chrono avenger m1 black dial, and there is something i don`t like in my dial, i think its because of the year of manufacture, i have a white border around the sub dials of the chrono, and i realized that in latest years i didn`t come whit it, can i ask breitling to change the dial to a recent one where the white borders are not present? it is real anoying when i see the watch from sideways, when i look it from top they aren`t visible

can i ask my AD something like, i yould like to my dial to change to the 2008 edition is it possible?

regards

There are loads of threads on this.

Bottom line, yes they will but they insist on a full service and charge a lot - like $1,200 - $1,500 all told.

I suspect that there is an element of disincentive in the pricing.

It likely is cheaper to sell and replace with a comparable one in the preferred dial. Of course what they are really hoping is that you will buy a new watch.

Call your local service center and insist that they do it for you.
Be convincing and confident always reminding them that you love breitlings. They might just give in and cut you some slack. Worked for me with Rolex a few years ago....
