The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all, i just exchange my Blackbird for a navitimer World..i think i made a mistake!!! hope not! - the "second" hand keeps on stopping, although the the seconds hand a"9"o'clock is still working! i've only had this watch for 2 days & already freaking me out! did i not fully wind the watch? if so what should i do? if i put it on 1, the date advances? how do i wind it or turn 40X. pls. help!!!! before i go back to the jeweler i got it from - thanks in advance!!!

Why would you have made a mistake?

The Navi-World is a great piece!

To manually wind, just rotate the stem counterclockwise. You do not have to pull out the stem. You only pull it out to adjust the date, the second timezone, or the time.

Manually wind forty times and you should have no problems. Do you keep it on a winder at night by chance? If not, winding and active daily wear will keep the power reserve charged.

ok! whoooo! thanks, well, i know its not a mistake, i just feel that way, i thought the salesman pulled a fast one on me since i exchanged it! - for some reason , he does'nt want me to buy the navitimer world!!! now, i feel better!!! thanks!btwm i don;t have a watch winder, aybei'll get one sson!

I wonder why he didn't want you getting the Navitimer World?

Could be his profit margin went down with your exchange.

Best of luck with the new piece!

Take it back to the AD and have them check it out.

This should not be happening if you are winding it 40 times. It should have a 40 hour power reserve!

ok thanks! i will, i'm very dissapointed!

Hi,

I've had my Navitimer World for about a month...it was wound once the day I got it and not since. I take it off each night and put it on my nightstand, not in a winder box. It has not stopped running once.

I'd say that you watch is not right
