Breitling Crosswind crown

[Andyworks]

Good morning

 

I have a Breitling Crosswind watch in for repair and it has the classic crown which has become worn and detached from the stem leaving the threaded portion of the crown and the stem. I am after a new crown but no where sells only the crown or crown and stem tube combination. You have to be a registered dealer or approved service agent of Breitling it seems to have the ability to get the parts you require. Genuine parts that is. I have been told by breitling they won't sell just the crown etc as the watch will have to go in to one of their service centres for them to repair it and then they want to service the watch as well which my client does not want as he wants to keep costs down.

How can I go about purchasing genuine Breitling spares in this case?

 

Many thanks

 

Andrew

You have answered your own questions, it's either Brietling authorized repair center, or no original part.
