I won't be having another that's for sure. I've literally just stepped out of county court having taken a very well known watch retailer to small claims, after my 22 year old Aerospace was water damaged earlier this year. Always serviced/battery replaced by Breitling.
Basically if the worse happens, Breitling will just say it's your fault and cough up, even when you've recently coughed up for a full and major service.
So if you do decide to take them on in court, my advice is get "watchmakered up", get an expert watch repair witness on your side to fight them. The burden of proof is on you to prove fault and it's tough.
