Hello All,
Second hand Archie here.....

I have a mid 90s Navi.... anyhow.... it was loosing 5 mins per day.... so I took it too my watchmaker (Chinese Paul)....

He said - no point to service as it looks all ok and oiled.....
He regulated for free for me.....

And now.....

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT......
It is almost as good as my mobile phone clock and quartz cartier desk clock....

I have never had such an accurate automatic!

AND I HAVE HAD HEAPS - Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe, JLC, Omega......

I am just shocked.....

Are all Breitlings this accurate?

Did he also pressure test it after regulating it?

If you plan on ever getting it wet, you might wanna have that done.

It's best to keep Navi away from the water anyway.

Hi, Archie and welcome aboard. Breitlings that accurate? Not surprising at all. The ebauches are so well rebuilt at Kelek that a little care in regulation easily puts them well inside COSC specs. I have four B13 caliber Breitlings and none of them gain or lose more than two sec/day. One of them, the newest, gains almost four seconds a week... :wink: :D
I guess you could say I'm very pleased with the accuracy to which a mechanical Breitling can be regulated. :D
Cheers,
Ron

Your mobile phone clock is good?? The clock on my blackberry is terrible, I keep resetting it and it always drifts back to 1 or 2 minutes slow.

Anyway, congrats on getting that Navi running well.
