The Breitling Watch Source Forums

After several years of looking, my wife blew me away by buying me an Airwolf for my birthday! Reading all the great posts I have learned so much about these awsome watches, thanks guys. I do have a question: from the bracelet I see that my watch has a date code of 1308 (the 13th week of 2008) the digital and analog times have already gone out of synch after i initial set the time and it has a few scratches on the clasp. I'm thinking the battery is starting to go since it is over 2 years old. It was just bought from an AD should I go back and insist on having them exchange it for one that was manufactured in 2010 or is this the norm to buy a brand new watch that is over two years old. Thanks.

If its new why does it have scratches on it ????
I,d take it back

The fact that it was made two years ago isn't a big deal in itself, watches often sit for a while at ADs. You can certainly get a new battery under warranty - quartz watches are often left running at ADs which obviously drains the battery.

In terms of scratches, that certainly doesn't sound right for a new watch and I would certainly want that addressed.

When back to AD after some back and forth, they ordered another one for me!
