It doesn't sound right, you need a visit to your AD.

went to the dealer yesterday I was told that the parameters for the day/date changing are between 9pm and 3am. They changed the head of my watch and now the day/date change both at the same time at midnight.

Hmmmm, 9pm and 3am are exceptionally broad parameters! :? In general I personally expect a watch to change date within an hour of midnight. Fortunately mine all do.

I'm sorry, I am a little dense at times. What do you mean they changed the head of your watch? :huh

Maybe.... in which case the AD was correct, but I was assuming he meant when the date wheel visibly starts to move, in which case the AD woudl be over-egging it a little IMO.

The head is everything except the strap/bracelet. i.e. the main body of the watch (and all the internals, obviously).

That's what I thought. So basically they exchanged watches with him excluding the bracelet. I guess if the watch is relatively new this is an option at the AD instead of sending it in to Breitling for repair.

Thanks.
