I may have a bad ”apple” when I bought my new SO a year ago, I'm not sure. I weared my watch on/off-style at spring and summer not paying so much notice of watch power reserve, watch was usually stopped always when I took it with me after day or two but I did thought that maybe everything was not right. But autumn I had watch on my wrist daily, only took it away on weekends and I noticed that power reserve was like 27-31hours, even if I manually winded my watch. I measured it few times and same answer, about 30hours reserve. Now Breitling says it's min 42hours so I went to my dealer to talk about it. An older repairman at dealer said it's not right, he will also check it also and if there's something wrong, they will sent it to repaired (off-topic: he had also an older SO in wrist and he said haved both Rolexs and Omegas in his wrist in past and SO is the best watch he had own). I now know that they have sent SO to authorised repairer in Helsinki.
Just wondering what's wrong with my watch, what they do it and how long take it to repair? Is it min 42 hours if I hand wind it like Breitling say? Is this a common problem with ETAs? COSC-check was fine, there was nothing wrong with it. I know I should have contact right away when I did get suspicious but warranty is two years and I was not quite sure about power reserve, not even now. No, I have not lost hope on Breitlings and still thinking that SO is fine watch for me because I'm missing it.
