I have just purchased a pre owned super avenger for 2009. The watch came with all serial numbers and paperwork matching it. Also included was an original service record from late 2013. The service performed was around $700. My question is this...when I received the watch I noticed that there is a small worn place right in the center of the crystal that really annoys me. I was wondering if it was possible to just get the crystal replaced for a reasonable price without having to do a complete service for $700+ since a complete service was done just over a year ago. Im not sure this is possible due to having to open the watch up just just wanted some other opinions.

It would need a basic service plus the crystal. Crystal costs vary considerably based on thickness and height of dome, but Breitling can quote you.

When BUK replaced the crystal on my Navitimer Fighters a few years ago, it alone cost 300gbp plus tax

Crystal costs are all over the place. Difference between high and low seems to be 2.5 - 3x
