Fox2long - Northern England as in Yorkshire, perchance
I didn't get my Breitling serviced until too late - so it then cost about £600 for a full repair and new battery. Replacement bracelet clasp? £375. Even a single 'gold' and titanium bracelet link pin can cost £50 on eBay as Breitling don't make them any more, it seems.
So £385 for a battery, service and sorting out the clapping hands actually seems quite reasonable (in Breitling terms) to me.
