The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Watch was put in for full service in February 2010 as it was 5 years old. A few weeks after its' return, I noticed it was losing time so was sent back, some adjustments were made and it was confirmed that it was operating to the spec required by Breitling and COSC. Watch was returned to me in August.

I have put up with the following since its' return, thinking it might need time to settle in. It seems to be getting worse so I thought I'd see what others make of it:

I wear it on average 12 to 14 hours a day Monday to Friday but by early Sunday morning it stops. I manually wind it up Monday morning and the process starts again.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm understanding you incorrectly, but I would expect that if you take the watch off on Friday, don't wear it Saturday or Sunday, that it would stop running on Sunday if not placed on a winder. That seems perfectly normal to me, but maybe you are talking about something else.

I read it the same way you do Greg...sounds fairly normal. Up to 42 hours power reserve, and if removed Friday, it would be just about wound down Sunday morning...

Struck me the same way too.

If the OP takes it off after work on Friday (say 6 o'clock PM), even if it's fully wound (which it's highly unlikely to be if it's only worn for 12 out of every 24 hours during the week) it'll be fully unwound by noon on Sunday.

Agree with everything said - sounds perfectly normal to me - the more surprising thing would be if it didn't stop under those conditions (which would appear to be the implication from before servicing).

Thanks guys, as you said, prior to the service, it was keeping time at the weekend which I thought was normal.
