Hi folks,
The movement of the chronograph seconds hand on my Avenger Skyland has continuous sweep movement except couple of positions where movement is not exactly sweep and certain "hacking" of the chronograph seconds hand is visible. I did not pay too much attention to it before and considered it as normal. Recently I read those posts again and started examining chronograph seconds hand movement with great attention. After noticing said "hacking" and chronograph seconds hand "jumping" (moving) more than required 1/4 of a second in certain dial positions, I decided to call local AD. Service person at AD/Service center here in Bosnia and Herzegovina appeared to be very knowledgeable and during our conversation I found out that he graduated Breitling Service School. He told me that this anomaly/mistake happens from time to time on B13 movements and it does not present anything dangerous. Of course, he agreed that any Breitling should be nothing but flawless; therefore, we agreed for a service visit tomorrow. Furthermore he explained that it can be done within 15 minutes by applying oils in the areas where necessary. I told him that I would like to use the same opportunity to get the accuracy adjusted (currently +6 sec according to my measurement). I will let you know tomorrow what happened. I am hoping for the best result, especially if the entire service lasts 15 to 30 minutes.
I sincerely hope they will let me take some pictures (I would love to make a picture of the exposed movement). More info (and hopefully pictures) will follow tomorrow...
Cheers,
. Accuracy is within standard, +3. Needless to say, I can not take my eyes of my Skyland. I've been playing with the chrono almost all day long...Soon I will post new AS pictures.
