Many here may already know that Craig Bergsma of Chronodeco has announced his retirement from
watchmaking. Over the years Craig has cared for some of the finest vintage Breitling's in the world.
He was a wonderful contributor to this forum and shared his vast knowledge readily. A true craftsman and impossible to replace, he will be greatly missed by our vintage Breitling community.

Craig, the best of health and happiness in your retiement!!

Agreed. I suppose in my few years here on the forum, he was unanimously recommended by almost everyone, and championed by Fred and Rene for both craftsmanship and a sympathetic hand when it came to restoration and repair. Indeed, best of health and happiness Craig.

Craig - Thank you for repairing my watch - I still smile every time I strap it on.

I wish you a very happy and very long healthy retirement -

Dave
