| Post subject: | Breitling NOS question, digital warranty cards? |
I'm thinking about buying a Breitling, it's from a European AD, they are claiming the watch is NOS and will come fully boxed, with the Breitling 2 year warranty and the new style digital warranty card. So I guess my question is really about the digital card, the watch is 10 years old, so it would have originally came with the old style yellow warranty card, does anyone know if Breitling issue blank digital warranty cards that the AD's can program, or are they watch specific? |

They are blank and the ADs have been kitted out with programming machines. I have seen many old style yellow warranty booklets all filled out by hand in pen, implying that ADs were getting them blank as well. The only thing to consider is the fact that a 10 year old watch will be in need of a service, regardless NOS or used if the AD has not arranged to have it done recently. Take that into consideration. |

The new BREITLING warranty system is activated by a registered chip underneath the COSC number on the certificate. After the COSC cert has been scanned it will load all of the watch details onto the screen. These are not something you can obtain for an older piece as the RFID chips are placed onto the chronometer cert at the time of gaining that certification. |

When I scan the rfid on my COSC certificate it only shows the model type is registered on the rfid and no other information, how would this information be sufficient to load all of the watch details on the screen?

What other information is needed. The RFID chip has a code that tallies with the COSC number (serial number) - the RFID chip has info about the watch model, the kit in the AD has the info about the AD, the warranty date is the date of activation ... it's all there isn't it? Read all about it here.... https://ewarranty.breitling.com/docs/do ... 0guide.pdf |

Thanks for the information, is the COSC non readable encoded in the first row of memory data blocks? |

Likely - suggest you convert it to decimal and check to see if the converted data contains the COSC/watch serial. If so, then that answers your question. If not, then I can only suppose that the 4 hex bytes are hashed with the code within the programmer/reader to derive the correct COSC number. |

How typical is it for an AD to have a watch 10yrs before selling? |
