How much to replace a Breitling Aerospace Battery?

[traffman]

As above , i cannot remember how much , does 50 pounds sound about right?

The last time i booked the watch in at Goldsmiths for a service it cost me roughly 250 pounds.

£50 should be more than enough for a battery change and pressure test with a decent independent.

Don't those Aerospace models have snap backs?

£50 is plenty don't pay anymore.

Aerospace Avantage has screw on case back. Meaning 8 screws rather than a threaded back

I paid 15 australian dollars to have mine done a couple of weeks ago, could have paid another 25 for a pressure test but as i dont even go swiming in it, it wasnt worth it. Took 10 mins while I waited. Was 170 quid last time wih breitlng as they wouldnt do it without a service! Never again

One quick way to test watch water resistance is with an ice cube you hold the ice cube on the glass remove after say 10 seconds and wipe the glass clean, and then monitor for condensation it should disappear quite quickly if the case has good water resistance.

Mines is pre advantage , purchased circa 2001.

I had it sent off for a service about 4 years ago and that was the best part of 240 pounds , and im not really wanting to go that route.
