Hi,

Need a replacement battery in my emergency. Remember reading a post a year or so ago regards to a recommendation on here but can’t find the thread.

Can anyone recommend someone to carry out for me?

Regards
Ian

It's a Breitling job only. When I had mine, I rang around a number of watch repairers including recommendations on here and TZUK and none of them would touch it. Maybe things have moved on as this was a couple of years ago, but I bit the bullet and sent it to Breitling, came back looking absolutely ike new, but paid north of £500 for the privilege.

Joe aka variomatic - at http://angleseywatches.co.uk/2-uncategorised replaced all sets in my Emergency a couple years back - give him a call - was turned around in 48hrs when mine was done.

Cheers guys , I’ll give Joe a call.

Wasn’t impressed with Breitling when I sent it off for its first service. Took 3 months to turn around and when the watch came back, they had polished off the logo on the aerial crown, I then had to send it back again to sort that.

Joe at Anglesea Watches is your man,

He did mine a few months ago, turned around & back to me the very next day following arrival with him all for a very modest fee.
