The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello everybody. I purchased my breitling super avenger in January 2012 which I posted pictures of on this forum. But I have a question regarding the time. When I take off my watch at night I wake up to a totally different time. For example, it could be 11:30 pm when I take the watch off and when I see it the following morning it shows a few hours different with another date. Is this normal?

I'm not sure that I get the problem. If you take it off at 11:30pm on (say) the 22nd and then put it on at 8am on the 23rd you're saying that it shows neither 8am, nor the 23rd????

Apologies if this is serious question, but are you saying you're surprised that if you take your watch off at 11.30pm on the 22nd when you go to bed, by the time you wake up several hours later i.e. on the morning of the 23rd, your watch has advanced from 11.30 and the date has moved on from the 22nd to the 23rd? That sounds to me like a watch marking the passage of time like a good watch should!

Your watch doesn't stop when you take it off (unless the power reserve is very low), so it sounds like normal operation to me. Unless I'm missing something of course........

That's how I read it the first time, but then I thought, 'he can't be asking that, must be something else'.

If it's not that, then I think we maybe need a little more info from the OP......

Thanks for the replies guys. Sorry for not clarifying myself more. Let's say I take off the watch at 11:30 pm on the 23rd. On the following day it would show 4:15 on the 5th for example. The time would be totally incorrect and the date would be off by a few days with just a number of hours not being worn. I don't think this should be happening.

Not only should it not be happening, I cannot think of any conceivable way that it could happen. Definitely needs Breitling attention - that literally sounds impossible.

That's possibly the weirdest thing I've heard of. I could understand the time being wrong as a result of perhaps the watch stopping during the night due to a low power reserve, but the date thing completely baffles me. Definitely one for Breitling to sort out.

The only possible explanation that I can think of for a watch advancing that quickly is if it is magentised (or an IWC BP ), but that wouldn't happen only if it was off the wrist.
