Breitling service + papers

[superlightr]

Had my Breitling Emergency 121.5 serviced recently at a UK authorised dealer £460 odd pounds but it came back with no paperwork.

Im sure in the past when it had been serviced it had a letter with a full description of what they did/replaced/test transmitter time etc.

I spoke to the shop and they said nothing was returned with it. They would chase this up.

A week later I get a Breitling business service card (like a normal business card) with just serial/date and next service. Again no letter detailing exactly what work was carried out.


Does this sound right?

When you get a Rolex serviced via an AD you get all sorts of stuff back to add to the watch’s provenance: outer Rolex branded postage box; green velvet travel pouch; plastic warranty card with date of service and 2 year guarantee; receipt; and itemised bill if stuff has been changed.

I’m surprised Breitling don’t do something similar.

You should get the business card and a receipt on Breitling letterhead paper. It won't have a full breakdown but it will say "full service / battery replacement - £460". I got mine done a couple of years ago before selling it on and I remember I got the service case, papers and the business card. That was from the Breitling store on Bond Street not long after it opened.

thank you - emailed Breitling and they have forwarded onto me exactly what you have said. Thank you,

Im looking to sell it on one - where did you sell yours?

My breitling went back under warranty and it was a right chew getting the paperwork for the work done (they full serviced it as part of the process). 900 quid of work on the invoice in the end!
