The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I found one of these digging through my stuff and threw it up on Timezone.... Not sure if I was even in the right area in regards to pricing are they worth anything??? Or should I just keep it??? Just asking....

THANX

Question #2 - http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_faq.shtml#8

I swear this gets asked more frequently since we added it to the FAQs.

I know I know!! Should have checked it out on the bay first. Besides the fact it is not all that valuable are they a decent watch???? Is it worth keeping???

Dude, if you don't want it, pm me w/ a price and I'll probably take it. I like that watch.

It's an almost 25 year old quartz watch and suffers from the same problem that any 25 year old quartz watch will have - when it dies it can't be repaired. You'll need to find a donor movement, which will be just as old as the dead one.

That said, it may keep going for another 25 years without complaint, but when the movement dies it's a paperweight.

Would BUSA replace the movement w/an updated one, you think? Or would that be wishful thinking?

Breitling (and by extension BUSA) don't have access to the movements, they are obsolete. It's not like updateing non SQ with SQ variants of the same movement - they'll just tell you that they can't be maintained.
