The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hey guys. So my uncle let me wear his watch for a while. I dont have access to the papers but its a super avenger (with a rubber band) based on my research.

One of my favorite parts of a watch, whether its a breitling or rollie, is the glow in the dark feature. And I noticed his doesnt light up for some reason.

It lit up yesterday when it was in a drawer and thats it. I try to expose it to light and then back to darkness, still nothing.

The only thing I have done is move the bezel around (it wasnt in place properly) so that the 30 is on the bottom, 15 and 45 on the sides and so forth

Any idea why it would stop lighting up overnight?

I just looked at it in complete darkness and the hands lit up very faintly

Give it a good charge under a lamp for 30 seconds, and then see if it lumes.

Otherwise, post pics.

Nevermind, it works now. I guess because I didnt put it on for a day or 2 it wasnt so bright..after putting it on my wrist for a few minutes it was all good.

Now if someone could teach me how to change time on this thing...(its 2-3 minutes off)

Did you get a manual - it's all in there.

If not, unscrew the crown, pull it out to the furthest position and turn it to adjust the time. You haven't said whether fast or slow so avoid doing it between an indicated time of 8 and 3 to avoid any potential risk of turning time back in the danger zone (also in the manual or in numerous threads here).
