Hi all . My Breitling needs a service, breitling need eight weeks to do the job . I'm wondering if anyone has used a local quicker watch smith that will still stamp the service book with the correct Breitling stamp and do a proper job .

I am watching this as I was only saying last week mine could do with a service, had it 5 yrs only wear it at weekends but could do with a good polish and looking at, what cost did you get to sent it back ??

Mines four years old and worn daily. £560 through goldsmiths back to Breitling, it's the eight weeks without it that I don't like the idea of .

And I bet that doesn't include parts that it might need added onto the price! I would think that is just a standard service of movement and polish 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

£560 to "service" a watch? A watch!

Wow, talk about being sold a bridge...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

i was thinking that, its one of the reasons i didn't buy a Omega PlanetOcean with some inheritance i got, the service would cost more than the watch it would replace which has never been serviced, but i couldn't go down that route with the Omega if i wanted to keep it long term

What is the recommended service interval on Breitlings just out of interest? I know Rolex increased theirs to 10 years recently. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Unfortunately, my Rolex won't last 10 years without a service, slows to a grinding halt about every 5 years. There again, it is nearly fourty years old! I bought my Sea Dweller in Saudi Arabia (Dahran) in 1977 with my first annual bonus from ARAMCO!! It cost me just under £600 then. The last service which was done in Kuala Lumpur cost me just over £400!!! Have no idea how much it would be here in UK. Probably around 50% more!!!!

Jock55 , wow my farther was out there about that time for the same company.
Flydrive, not emergency, it's a super avenger .

Super avenger is a beast of a watch

Buckster,

I have no idea whether it is a double red or not. How would I be able to tell?

I went into the dealership to buy a Submariner, but there was no stock. However, he had purchased a bunch of Sea Dwellers as he heard that there was going to be a major diving campaign coming up. Unfortunately for him, this was deferred for about 4 years, so he was having problems selling these watches to anyone other than professional divers and those determined to buy a Rolex at that time.

Fletcher,

That's me, your dad and about 4,000 other expats at that time!!!
