| Post subject: | Date on the sticker of a quartz Breitling |
I wonder if anybody knows what the date on a sticker of a new quartz Breitling means. It usually says something like: http://www.chrono24.com/en/breitling/co ... 4&tab=pics The watch was made in 2012. According to the manual, the battery life is normally 2-3 years. If the date on the sticker means battery life, it would mean that the battery life is only 1 year. How is this possible? Could the date mean something else then? Thanks in advance for your replies. |

Are you sure that the watch was made in 2012 - is that what the date code inbetween the lugs says? - http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_dating.shtml |

what the sticker means is that if the dealer hasnt sold the watch before that date, the battery needs to be changed before it can be sold retail, so taht the customer gets at least 2 years out of the battery. think of it as a "best before use on xxxx" sticker. |
