It appears to be losing time on the 2nd time zone. When winding anti clockwise the hand is a little jerky and doesn't allow me to align to the correct time.

I bought the watch in Feb/Mar from Andrew Michaels. Is it best to return through them or to Breitling UK directly?

Makes me wonder why this wasn't picked up during QA?!

It's not physically possible for the 2nd time zone to lose time relative to the home time, they are driven through the same gear train. Would have to see the second problem to know if it was really a. Issue, but take it to an AD and have them take a look.

I may be misunderstanding this then....

So the red pointer which is the 2nd time zone:
When it moves between hour hands - is this not an hour? So for one full sweep of an hour by the minute hand, the 2nd time zone moves halfway between the 2 hour hands. This therefore seems to show 30 minutes. Lost the plot....
:/

Re the movement of the 2nd time zone hand, it is jumping when turn the crown anticlockwise. Only a little bit....but its not perfectly smooth

GMT hand rotates once every 24 hours and is read against the 24 hour scale on the dial.
