Breitling Professional B-2

I got this watch with the intention of keeping it for myself. When it arrived, I did not like the complication on the dial and went for the Chrono Avenger instead.

I had to change the seconds hand because it was bent (from the previous who claims he has no idea how it got that way.) I sent it to Horological Services (a Breitling Authorized Service Center) and quoted me for a whole bunch of things like a complete overhaul recommended for all 5 year Breitlings.

I decided to go ahead with the complete overhaul and it cost me almost 1/3 the price of the watch. Not really worth it on my end but I thought it would be nice for the new owner to get a watch in good excellent working order.




Sold it at a lost but I hope it makes the new owner happy.

That is too bad you had to sell it for a loss. What a great looking watch, though.

Yes, it is a great looking watch but too heavy for me. I am too used to my Chrono Avenger which is titanium and much lighter.
