it sucks that you had to go through all the BS with your watch and the idiot at the boutique. however it is good to know that Breitling is trying to make it right with you.

Great customer service, couldn't ask for much more. I told them that all in all I love the look of the product they make, even though there are companies making a better quality product for a simalar price I would rather get this fixed and be happy with my navi.

Somehow, that doesn't sound like the best compliment to give. :nana: lol. I'm glad you got the great service and gifts, though. :lingsrock:

Was not ment to be a compliment, but it is the truth.
Wouldn't you say that the all around quality of a rolex is better than a ling? I would still rather have a ling because of its style.

Just got a email from my concierge that a package came. I think it's my book safe, that thing is the bees knees. Hope it's the black one.

I agree, IMHO, the overall quality of a Rolex is greater than Breitling's. Using initial price, limited room for discounts, resell value, market penetration, life span of their products, all in house movements which are tried and true, etc, etc tends to make the "quality" arrow point in favor of Rolex... that being said I too love Breitling's styling much more than Rolex.

Maybe I need to rethink that response as all my Rolex watches tend to sit idle retaining/gaining value while I wear all of my Breitlings and abuse them much more. Use, abuse, and still dependable - shouldn't that mean that they are better quality? Either way, I'm just happy I have beautiful watches from two "quality" companies to wear!

Great story and I hope that the issues with the watch are fixed as I'm sure will be the case!

Pretty stoaked my book safe came.

That's a hat, chocolate bar, bakelite box, duffle bag, and book safe in the last 6 days. Hopefully a flawless navitimer world by the end of the month. That's got to be some kind of record for the most swag in less than a week.

I have a bit of a update and a question for anyone who reads this. Before I dropped off the watch last Monday the 3rd I told the guy at BUSA I was not too happy about being without it, he told me he would make sure it takes priority. As of today I haven't even as much as got a phone call letting me know they revived it. I live in FL, the bag they sent me only took 3 days. Should I write another email asking what's going on or just wait another day or two.

Thanks, just wanted to see what others thought before I got in there ass again. To me something taking priority is not 9 days when it only takes 3 days to ship.

Diagnosis of a timing issue is not a 2 minute job. So many variables affect the rate that it can take several days to isolate whether the problem is a simple regulation issue or whether there is a particular position / power reserve / other that is causing a problem. Additionally, there is going to be other work in the queue and priority can't mean that everything else loses out.

Chasing again may be worthwhile for more frequent communications, but not at all surprised that there isn't a solution yet. Warranty work is generally given priority over regular servicing and others have previously indicated that's usually around 3 weeks.

I figured that fixing these issues would take a bit, just expected to hear from them by now. They did say that someone would get in touch with me when they had my watch in hand so I could explain to them in detail what the issues are. They don't exactly give you a whole lot of room to write on the paper that goes out with the watch.
