I have had my Black Steel for about a year now and I use it as my daily watch,
well I was trying to time something with the chronograph function and I was sure that I pressed the button as they are quite hard to press(i guess this is normal) but when i checked the time it didnt start...... I thought I was loosing it but I have had a few more goes and found that say 1/100 times it will not start.....Its not a complete failure but its enough to make me wonder if this has happened to anybody else and weather I should send it in while it is still under warrantee.
Thanks boys

That's an odd one as most of the time watch issues aren't intermittent. I'd take it to an AD if I was you, especially if it's still under warranty.

Yeah that is weird.

Mechanical problems tend to be consistent with problems like this because they are mechanical - it's 'just' pieces of metal moving relative to one another.

Definitely needs Breitling attention.
