I suspect that the only person who can tell you how much is a Breitling service center.
The electronic module is certainly replaceable.
I personally wouldn't even consider putting a different movement in. It'd ruin the watch.

You need to test any quartz watch on a quartz testing machine like one made by Witschi. You can't just make assumptions that a certain component is bad without making some measurements first. It's a five minute job for a competent watchmaker with the correct equipment to make a simple diagnosis.

I think I asked before but don’t remember getting a proper answer.
I have mum’s Breitling Navitimer Sextant mecaquartz. It’s Breitling 55 aka Piguet 1270 inside. The watch loses time, and almost definitely it’s the electronic part not the mechanical that’s at fault.
A, is it possible to buy a replacement Piguet movement? How much?
B, is it possible to buy the electronic part only? How much?
C, what are my alternative movements that I can use?
Is there an alternative meca-quartz movement? I’m loathe to stick a Miyota in there but I damn well will if it means I can wear the watch and see it keep time.
