After the service…
The Breitling Aerospace was my graduation present and while rarely worn nowadays it will forever maintain a special place in the collection.
Just came back from service and it appears that Breitling purposefully went from one of the more accomplished in the servicing department to one of the worst. Hopefully I will not have to repeat the experience for many years to come but it does rather put me off getting additional ones 🤷🏻♂️
Given that it’s the start of autumn (I know - question of definition) a cashmere strap seemed in order for it 🍂❄️

Love mine!
Got it not knowing about the minute repeater function which was the icing on the cake, so to speak! ...
Ah, I see 😁👍🏻
I think Airbus did something with AP (maybe it was Airbus Helicopters) some time ago 🧐 As for the others 🤷🏻♂️ Boeing also had a watch with Fortis some years back…
AP with Airbus?
I would love to see that one for sure here is the Boeing Breitling but an Emergency Source: Google Images ...
Here’s even a post by Nico on it 😊👍🏻
www.watchprosite.com Still under the Eurocopter name - sorry, misremembered 😊🤷🏻♂️
Very cool watch !
Don' know what the service issue was but it looks like brand new !!
Time, communication, aggressive selling of unnecessary service items…
I liked best the statement, ‘Well, it’s a couple of years old so it surely needs a new movement’ 😂🤦🏻♂️
That certainly does not sound good !!
My last service experiences with Parmigiani and Lange were also very negative ...and at unreasonably high costs !!
I do not even want to talk about the cost 🤦🏻♂️
At any rate it works and is back and I will not need to deal with them for a while, hopefully.
I also have a blue one. It's an early one with a very simple dial. The numbers are square rather than slanted. I think it was my 3rd "real" watch. I still feel those are one of the best quartz
watches ever made. Bummer about the bad service experience. They have my Wheels and Waves right now. I bought it with a bit of shop wear with the understanding that they would do a full disassembly repolishing whenever I wanted to have it done. I keep hea...
Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
They are seemingly no longer in a position to change the battery and straps in the Boutique - a bit of a joke. The service as such worked but waiting fourteen weeks or so for a battery change it ridiculous and the attitude and ability or willingness to ex...
Something more significant that needs to be done?
If not I would seriously consider an decent watch maker instead 😊
Good to see this special watch …
These days, I’m always concerned when I send a watch for a service. Customer care and watch service is a minefield 🤦♂️
In the end we as customers are partly to blame…
As we seem to tolerate this much more than in other walks of life. If anything like that happened with a car I do not think we would tolerate it nearly as well. Although 🤷🏻♂️ As soon as it has the word luxury associated with it it seems to open the possi...
