...and it's losing 10 minutes a month! Yikes. The OD wants $595 (NOT Time and Gold) to send it to Breitling for the overhaul. Three years seems a little light to me however, I guess it could have been sitting at the OD for a while as well... |

Check the manufacture date code between the 6 o'clock lugs (http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_dating.shtml) - if the watch is around 5 years old then it makes sense, otherwise it may just need a regulation - especially if it's consistent rather than getting worse. |

The good news is you have quite a few to choose from while your lady is being fixed

I will. Good tip. Thank you. A great line from the movie Fight Club is: "Things you own end up owning you." We buy expensive watches and then continue to have to pay for them forever... Love that line. |
