I just spoke with the AD Rep I have been dealing with and he will be ordering a new watch tomorrow for me to replace this one.
All will be right in the end I'm sure. He seems to be a stand up guy. This deal just didn't go that smooth.
No ill feelings towards anyone.
Thanks for the responses guys. I am not one for confrontation and I just needed to know if my feelings were valid on this situation.

That is wonderful news. I am sure you will sleep more soundly tonight without that concern hanging over your head.

Cheers.

As others have said, you made a good thing when you returned it.
Hope it all goes well.

That was definitely the right thing to do, Christopher. I DIDN'T do it when I picked up my CA a couple of years ago (with scratches between lugs) and have regretted it ever since!

After the way others have been treated over a €50 pusher, it's good to read about an AD who resolves a problem to the satisfaction of the customer. Wish more were like yours!

see id agrue that, fair enough some poorly trained monkey butchered it and didnt tell anyone and sent it out, but then when it came back and they polished it and it still looked bad i cant believe they had the cheek to send it back to him again!!!

thats not good thats terrible. good customer service means never seeing that crud.

but i do agree getting chrged 50 for a pusher or rider tab is insulting

You're right Alex, the service was bad but the end result of replacing the watch to leave a satisfied customer is good. Too many retailers (not specifically watches) only seem to care about the sale and not the after-sales service.

It's all been said already, but I just want to say that firstly ANY damage at all from the AD is totally unacceptable in my book, and secondly I'm glad the Breitling rep is doing the right thing by you.

I'd also go further and say that I'd expect a watch to be returned from a service in mint condition too. Bascially if ever my watch is being handled by and AD or the originating manufacturer (i.e. at a service, etc) I expect nothing less than perfection. If a watch can leave the factory in mint condition I expect it come back in mint condition if ever they need to handle it subsequently.

Hey guys,
All is being resolved with the AD and I wanted to say that although this transaction may have been mucked up a little, all in all the Rep has been very helpful in resolving the issue. As I said before, it wasn't personal and maybe I jumped the gun on posting this issue up here.
It could have been resolved much earlier, but in the end all will be good.
So, please be confident in working with these guys in the future. Things happen, but in the end I am being taken care of.
Life goes on!
