gen bre!tling parts - harder to get than rlx parts?

[db1]

i was always wondering , if, and why .. is it harder to source gen breitlng parts, while dozens of gen rlx parts are available on the bay almost on a regular basis.

does anyone knows the answer? =]

My guess would be a lot less Breitling sold than Rolex, hence less coming onto the second hand market in general, and a lot less parts in circulation as a result.

That and the cult habit of restoring vintage Rollies using gen parts and the abundance of Frankens/ number of Rolex service centres and authorized repair facilities that might need to sell stock, etc.

1. rolex outsells breitling 3 to 1.

2. rolex barely ever changes bezels/movements/dials parts design or changes design very litttle.

3. rolex has been selling similar styled watches for 50+ years :-) NOT breitling.

while rolex tries to keep a tight lit on parts distribution (as does breitling) they cannnot monitor a 5+ fold volume as tightly as they would like.

send me a pm if you need breitling parts.

Still, there are many second hand Breitling dials available on eBay for small money.
