New to the forum: a week ago, I took delivery from an AD of a new Chronomat GMT, all steel, AB041012/g719ss. Now twice, after a full wind (40 turns) and wearing the watch 24/7, it stops after about 2 and 1/2 days of wearing. I was under the impression that the self-winding feature would sustain operation; otherwise, the watch keeps perfect time -- I have not operated the chonograph feature while wearing. Any suggestions?

Something's not right, and ultimately it will need Breitling attention. If you want to test it then give the watch a full wind (in house movement has a longer power reserve so give it 50 or so turns - you can't overwind) and then just leave it on the side and see how long it runs for. Then repeat and wear it and see how long it runs for. That will let you know whether there is a problem with the automatic winding or with the power reserve itself and will help Breitling diagnose the problem.

Thanks for the help -- I will start testing both with and without wearing and keep a record of the results.
