HI JUST GOT MY FIRST BREITLING AND ITS MY FIRST REAL WATCH BUT IV HAD IT FOR A WEEK, ITS 1 YEAR OLD AND IV GOT A PROBLEM. ITS A COLT AUTO A173080 WITH A PRO 2 BRACLET. AT ABOUT 11-30pm THE DATE FONT SLOWLY DROPS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT SO BY ABOUT 11-45pm THE BOTTOM OF THE NUMBER (VISUALLY) JUST ABOUT TOUCHES THE EDGE OF THE DATE WINDOW THEN AT 5 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHT THE DATE CHANGES BUT TONIGHT THE DATE CHANGED 45 SECONDS AFTER MIDNIGHT IS THIS A PROBLEM.THE ONLY THING THATS CHANGED IS IN THE LAST 36 HOURS IV HAD IT IN A EILUX TITANSTEEL EW-1466 WATCH WINDER ON BI-DIRECTIONAL SETTING (FUZZY LOGIC) IS THIS THE RIGHT SETTING FOR THE B17 INSIDE AND COULD THAT CAUSE IT.BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT THE DATE WAS DOING PRIOR TO WATCHWINDING. ALSO MY MANUAL SAYS UNDO CROWN AND PULL OUT TO FIRST POSITION AND AJUST DATE BY WINDING TIME FORWARD SO DATE JUMPS AT MIDNIGHT BUT ON MY WATCH AT THE FIRST POSITION IT JUST AJUSTS THE DATE ,THE SECOND POSITION DOES TIME WHOS RIGHT I BOUGHT IT OVER INTERNET BUT I READ EVERYTHING ON THIS SITE ABOUT FAKES SO I DID ALL THE CHECKS WHEN I GOT IT AND IT DOES FELL RIGHT BUT AM LOSSING SLEEP WOULD LIKE TO POST SOME PICTURES TO GET YOUR OPINION BUT ONLY HAVE K800I CYBERS SHOT PHONE OR A IPHONE 3G WHICH IS EASYIST AND IS THERE ADVICE ON HOW TO UPLOAD PICS ON THIS SITE THANK YOU IF YOU CAN SHINE SOME LIGHT ON THESE THINGS.

It's normal to change the date few minutes before or past the midnight. First position after the crown has been unscrewed is for manual winding, second for the quick date set and third for time adjusting. Don't use the quick date set or move hands backwards between 8pm and 3am, it can damage the mechanism. |

as BN said the date cysle rns from around 8pm to 3am so slow progressive movement is expected. doesnt sound like its an issue to me but if your very worried ask your ad. |
