Hey all, I'm sad today as I sent in my Navitimer Olympus for it's required service (8 years +). Nothing is wrong with the watch other than losing about 10 seconds a day. Obviously, Breitling Canada told me that they don't do the Olympus Service here in Canada but they have to send the watch overseas to Switzerland for more experienced watchmakers... I can't say I was expecting this one. Do they service the B01 in Switzerland only also? So bye bye Olympus for 12 to 14 weeks....and I'm expecting 1000$ or more. wish me luck! |

That's not just Canada.... I think all 1461 movements end up back in Switzerland from what I understand. The B01 movements do not have to go back to Switzerland. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk |

Oh men are the 1461 that complicated? I thought it was a modular movement based on ETA |

Well a mechanical movement that knows how many days are in the month is hardly simple! |

Why get it serviced if it ain't broken? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Secondly, the more you wait, the more probable something WILL break. I pay a lot of money for these watches and I like to keep them pristine! To each their own! |

If losing 10 secs a day then the trip is well warranted! Preaching to the choir as I am a believer in keeping things in good working order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Do you have any more info? Did you get the watch back? What was the cost? I just purchased a Olympus and want to know the cost of service and timeline. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi! Didn't see your post sorry! I got it back in around 8 weeks altogether! 1300 CAD. Very expensive but what can you do, watchmakers that will work on a 4 year calendar are few and far between. Mat |
