Noticed my unitime had lost a lot of time on my rotations watch winder so it took it out of there because it's not a high end winder and gave it 40 winds and put it on my wolf winder at the correct setting of 800 and unidirectional rotation, woke up next morning and it had lost 30 minutes, so took it off winder wound it 40 times wore it all day and it was right on the money all day yesterday, so I left it on counter and this morning it was stopped completely, I bought the watch about 6 months ago with box papers and books it was 7 months old when I got it, kind of depressing for an expensive watch like that to stop working, glad it's under warranty for 5 years. Not a good start for the new year |

There's likely a problem in the running train that is creating friction that the wear on your wrist is able to overcome through constant movement but that is enough to stop the watch when it's stationary (your watch isn't losing time on the winder, it's stopping completely during the rest periods). Make sure that you tell Breitling of the problem, it could be something like a rough spot on a wheel or a flaw in a jewel that wouldn't automatically be addressed during servicing. |

Will do, Thanks Roff and happy new year to you |

Good luck! Hopefully it's faster than my three month wait with Omega for warranty work... Still waiting... |

Wow that's long, I sent my omega planet ocean chrono in for a full maintenance cleaning and it was not in warranty it took 2 and half months 10 weeks, not to bad except the $700 cost |

Breitling prioritizes warranty work so it shouldn't be that long. I've sent a few watches in under warranty and they have all been back in 2 to 3 week. Hopefully they get it fixed and back on your wrist quickly! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk |

Just called BUSA in Conn. They received watch on the 16th and said they are doing a full service on the watch under warranty and it should be 2 weeks. Sounds good to me |
