db1 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 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? =] db1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedo Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender110 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 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.

chrgod Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Still, there are many second hand Breitling dials available on eBay for small money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
