I've lost my 3 of my rider tabs, and Selfridges (London) said I will have to send my Windrider shadow flyback away which, will take 2.5 months plus ? Can I not wear the watch, and then let people order the parts ? They screw onto the Bezel. ITs not rocket science ? I know it was wrong to play bongo's with the watch worn in reverse !

Hi Windchrome.
First, welcome to WTF & the Breitling forum. Hope to see you here often.
So, it may be an inventory control item. They may want to verify you actually have the watch before selling them. This is their way of keping OEM parts off fakes. Though personally I wouldn't think the rider tabs & screws would be a highly sought after part for people to put on fakes. Have you tried calling Breitling and asking them about the policy? It may also be a case where the dealer just wants a bit more income than selling a few screws. Maybe check with another dealer and see if they will order it for you?
Good luck. Do let us know how it turns out.

Hi, have you had any luck sourcing rider tabs for your breitling. I too am looking for a gold number 30 Rider Tab along with small screw for my Breitling Antares
I went to a dealer who again offered to send my watch to Breitling and get it replaced for about £80 I think.

wow Rob, that's way too much! Have you contacted Breitling directly to see if you can send it to them directly & how much the part is? I can't believe a tab is that much.....
