I have an Evolution series Breitling and recently I was attempting to advance the date. Pulling out the crown to position (2) the date advanced then stopped in between the next date. I wound the watch and then it advanced. Here is the problem, I began to set the date by pulling out the crown to position (3) and the date advanced but at 6:00 rather than 12:00. What is going on? Does this need to be sent back. I've never experienced this before. |

I'd be sending it in for repair. Is this a brand new watch from an AD? |

I would definately be taking it in for repair under warranty then. |

Yes, let your AD have a look at it. If necessary, the warranty should take care of that. Good luck! |

Again, another case of no easy fix. Send it in. ~Brian |

Fortunately, you're still under warranty. Let us know how you get on. |

As a side note, this happened to a Tag of mine when I (in ignorance) tried to change the date too late at night / too close to its normal date change point. I left it till the next day and I was able to sort it out. Could this be the case here ? |

I'd still send it in. Best to get it looked at by the pros. |

Absolutely send it in for checking over..I was just kind of curious if this sort of issue is caused by changing dates at the wrong time. |

You're kind of right, ewen. Changing the date at the wrong time (that is, between 8 and 3) may if you're unfortunate cause damages to the date wheel/function. This shouldn't be new info - it's quite often mentioned on the forum and also several times in the manual (but on the other hand - no real man reads his manual...). If you're very lucky in your unfortunate situation I guess one might have "just" caused the wheels to a minor displacement which then slips back if you leave the movement on it's own. But the odds for that... |
