The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi,

I received my Breitling Cockpit Big Date after a full service on February 20th. It's just coming up to 2 months since then. I felt reassured, through this forum, that my watch would take a little time to settle in. I'm probably going to sound obsessive, but I have kept a daily record of its timekeeping. It started at between +6/7 seconds fast and slowly came down to + 3 seconds. This was for about 1 week, then it went to almost exact time. After a week or so, it went back to + 3 seconds. Still, I didn't mind too much, until, one day, it went to -2 seconds. Today, it's started gaining slightly, + 3 seconds.

I suppose it's the inconsistency that bothers me. Am I worrying about nothing, should I wait longer or send it back to be checked?

Thanks,

Poet.

I would not be worried as long as it stays between -4 and +6. From what you have posted so far, to me it looks like the watch is settling well.


And no, you don't suffer from OCD

Accuracy is going to be affected by many, many things - temperature, power reserve, position, etc, etc, etc. It's going to vary and the variances should remain within COSC. Yours is and there is nothing wrong with it.

Thank you Roffensian and metal heart, peace of mind restored, very much appreciated.
