YES!
I HAVE USED THESE PEOPLE FOR BREITLING AND THE TURN AROUND WAS 3 WEEKS, BUT OF COURSE IT AND COST DEPENDS ON THE LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR YOUR WATCH AND WHAT MAY NEED REPLACING ETC! TRY THEM!

I'm guessing the OP was looking for somewhere in the UK? I have heard good things about these guys;

Why don't you want Breitling to do it? I've heard they are usually pretty good?
I've used Ryte Time - there are quite a few mentions if you search the forum.
He is obviously much cheaper than Breitling, will only do what is required and probably much quicker.
Nice enough bloke too.
Downsides - he couldn't pressure test my M1 because it was slightly too big (they are only 44mm aren't they?) and IIRC he only takes PayPal.
thanks fellas, i may send to brietling just checking my options
Send it to Breitling. Reasonable price and good work. Worth the wait IMHO.
West Repairs too. Excellent with Rolex... but service most everything else too.
Sending to Breitling, whilst excellent..... they will charge you..... :shock: :shock: :shock:
Bills of 500 /600 are not uncommon... but alot will be replaced for this price... mainly bracelet and casing parts for watches that have led a hard life,and of course you'll get the lovely printout....with all itemised bits.
ETA's in Breitlings are easy jobs for watchmakers.
Breitling 8-12 week turn around atm.
I have had a Breitling Navitimer serviced and new dial fitted at West Repairs.
But not sure if they are kitted out for doing full refurbs on the case / bracelet like you would get from Rolex / Breitling..

I've sent Breitlings to them. Serviced and returned within 3-4 wks
Can't remember the price.... it was a while ago.
