I have owned my Chrono Evolution MOP for about 3 years... About a year ago, it has started to lose around 2 minutes per day. What is the best way to get it tuned? Is this normal? Thanks! |

Not a normal loss of time per day. The best indication that your watch is in need of a service is when it begins to gain/lose time outside of COSC spec (-4/+6 seconds a day). Sounds to me like you'll have to send it in to Breitling for a service. |

Thanks... Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you contact them and send it? How much do they charge? |

No need to be sorry. Assuming you're in the US, you can send the watch directly to BUSA in CT or you can go through an AD. http://www.breitling.com/en/index.php#/ ... h-america/ Cost will depend on exactly what is wrong, but a chrono service is 450? Not 100 percent sure but I remember reading that around here. |

Assuming your screen name indicates you live in the US, Breitling USA 206 Danbury Rd Ste 1 Wilton, CT 06897-4004 Phone: (203) 762-1180 I’ve corresponded via email with - maria.dias@breitlingusa.com. She can direct you to the correct person/department. They are closed on weekends and the entire joint’s been shut down for awhile because the company is on vacation. Got that? The entire company is on vacation! It’s a European thing. |

The whole store got the flu so I had to get this in a second hand store. So it's either wear the leather jacket which I know you hate, or this. So I wore this ridiculous thing for you" ~My Cousin Vinny |

A few things....... If it's simple then a basic service may be sufficient which will only be around $250. If it suddenly started losing 2 minutes a day that's a little worrying, it's usually a dramatic event to suddenly cause that. The fact that it's been unattended for a year also worries me slightly and may increase the cost to fix. Now in terms of the shutdown. Swiss law requires employers to provide 2 - 4 week breaks each year so please don't blame Breitling for being based in a more progressive society than most of us live in! |

As I said - "it's a European thing." And I like many things European. Like... expresso, which I will need plenty off today due to some raucus neighbors last night who kept me up very late with noise. I suspect they had visiting guests on extended "vacation."

Why a closed company for several weeks ? Because every person/department has his own task within the company. If you can service the movements but can't polish the cases there is a problem. Not only with service but also on production. Cases made, dials printed, but nobody to construct the watch. So everybody gets 3 weeks of at children hollidays and starts back together again. Jack |
