Hi everyone,

It's been a couple of weeks since my AD sent my Navitimer 01 to the service center in CT for the recommended 2 year waterproof test. Needless to say, I'm already feeling the withdrawals :cry:

. Does anybody know how long I should expect my Navi to be gone? The salesperson at the AD wasn't sure, but I can't see it taking more than a few weeks..

Hi Jeffrey,

I'd hold your breath a little longer...

I suspect you'll be lucky to have the Nav back within a month...

Guess it depends on how busy they are fixing all the B50's

Here, this will help, it's just like being there.

Hang in there! It's worth the wait.

There is no reason a guy can't have a backup Breitling.

Jeffrey, Not sure where you are located but I am surprised that you AD was not able to handle this test for you. When I have brought my in to have them tested it was something that could be done while I waited for it! Can not believe that BUSA would want every in house movement sold coming back every two years!

Thanks guys!

56scooter - Hmm, interesting. I'm not sure why they had to send it back to Breitling either. I live in the SF Bay Area, but perhaps not all ADs are authorized to perform such tests?

Not all ADs are equipped to perform the test. Even if they have a resident watchmaker, they might not have the pressure testing equipment. So, it depends on the particular AD.
