Hi all.
I got my emergency mission battery and service done and recieved it back in Sept 08.
It has stopped working again............ i presume its the battery gone flat.

6 months for the battery doesnt seem acceptable.

I wear it everyday and dont use the stop watch. Normal bumps and grinds. Its a watch after all.

Also it stopped at 8.15am the same time it stopped the first time which i thought was odd?

Anyone had any experiences the same or ideas on why the battery only last 6 months?

It has annoyed me considerably especially since it took 3 months to get it back last time.

I dont really want to pay as it was mega dollars last time....

Cheers
Jeremy

A Breitling service comes with a 12 month warranty - take it to the AD and they should sort it out.

Thanks Roffesian.

But a battery lasting only 6 months\??
Even a year isnt that flash. Maybe a dud battery. The last one was 2 1/2 years.

Suppose itll come back all poished up again which is of benefit lol.

And i will get the dials realligned as the seconds dont quite match to center. Couldnt be bothered last time after it took so long to repair.


Hopefully it will get sorted. ON holiday in Japan at present so will have to wait til i get home and get all the paperwork...
