Chaps, a piece of advice please. I inherited some watches from my old man, one of which is a Breitling that needs either service or repair - it doesn't keep time, and frequently stops. I honestly don't think it has been serviced in about a decade.

I usually use The Watch Doctor for my stuff, but they don't do Breitling repairs as they cannot get the parts. They will not charge for an inspection - and if it is just a service it needs, then they can do it. If it needs a repair, they cannot.

I was thinking that I could simply take it somewhere in London - but I would prefer a recommendation than to blindly walk into somewhere I found on the internet. So can anyone recommend a place that do Breitlings, preferably not at exorbitant dealer rates? Central/South London better than far North, although I will use a postage service if anyone strongly recommends one non-London based...

Any help appreciated.

Ah - does this mean that I really have to go to a Breitling dealer, then?

Never owned one before, and now have a few of these things to take care of - doubtless very expensively. Always been an Omega person myself, and am beginning to see the wisdom of this choice when it comes to servicing/repair costs!

Omega would love a Rolexesque closed shop! So dont be surprised when you cant get their parts without a massively overpriced service and all of the other bks that Rolex (and their approved repairers, who are forced to) try to foist upon you now.

That's what most independent repairers will tell you, but...

He serviced my evolution...not sure about being able to source parts, but may be worth contacting him to ask.
