Dear Members, Your advice is needed again after getting my seawolf back from Breitling UK having had a service and new winding stem fitted I was under the impression that my watch should run if anything a little fast. Well its not my watch is losing a few seconds a day should I send it back to Breitling UK or monitor it for a while longer it came back in March. As ever you advice is gratefully appreciated Kind regards Wally |

I think you're right that the default is to run slightly fast rather than slow. But COSC spec as you probably know is -4/+6, so if it's losing less than 4 seconds a day it's within spec and therefore I imagine they're unlikely to be very moved. |

If it has been back since March then it should have stabilised by now, but as noted COSC is -4 / +6 so if it's within spec then there is no legitimate reason to send it back. A watchmaker can regulate it for you so that it runs slightly fast, but there are so many variables that there is no guarantee that it will stay that way. |

Dear Members, Can you tell me is the -4 / +6 seconds a daily rate or weekly regards Wally |

Sorry members, I was unable to post the attachment from my iPad I will try and post from my lap top later today please forgive my lack of IT skills What I can say is the watch is losing more than 4 seconds a day and as it used to run at never more than plus 2 seconds a day after having the watch overhauled at Breitling UK. All of the above will I hope make more sense if I can get the attachment on too the forum !!! Regards W.W. |

Dear members, I thought you might like to know that Breitling have contacted me to say that they are going to replace the movement in my seawolf, so while I will be without my watch for sometime it will be like new when I eventually get the watch back. Regards W.W. |

Wow. A very good outcome though Walter, well done. Frustrating to be without it but psychologically very positive to be starting afresh. |

Yes Tom, I had them change the Dial on the U.T.C. To match the watch head while they have it so I can't wait to get my watch back!! Thanks for your interest Regards Wally |

Dear Members, Having not heard from Breitling since they informed me that they would be replacing the movement in my seawolf which has spent more time at Breitling UK than I have worn it. Please be advised the estimated completion date for the servicing/repairs to your Breitling Avenger Seawolf is the 29th November. I am very disappointed at the amount of time it is taking, having had other brand name watches restored and serviced Breitling leaves a lot to be desired in regard to looking after there customers Regards Walter |
