“We took it all apart and we managed to give it a good clean…
….but unfortunately we couldn’t quite work out how to put it back together again. Please find enclosed your watch with our compliments” ...
Beautiful! Thanks for the pictures.
Presumably you had it serviced by an independent service centre since I assume that Breitling are not servicing historic pieces yet? All the best, Jon
Good question
I have all my watches serviced by this company as they do exceptional work. Most everything I have is vintage and I trust them. They also work on high end independents and some crazy escapements. I’m lucky that they are an hour or so from me. In this case...
Agree
My repair guy occasionally posts to their Instagram account. The moonphase corrector was striking inconsistently and frankly they are the only folks I would trust to touch the watch. I will be curious to see if the new UG undertakes repairs of the old UG....
