Help please!
Apparently my Chronograph was running when my watch stopped. It didn't start back up when I wound the watch and now neither of the pushers have any effect. I really hope there's an easy fix.

Thanks in advance.

Did you try manually winding the crown, or just wearing the watch to wind it? Either way the chronograph running when the watch stops doesn't usually effect the watch in any way, sounds to me like it may need service.

I manually wound. It was just in for service 6 months ago. Breitling had to replace the pusher gaskets.

Concerned when you say that the pushers don't do anything - that doesn't sound right, and can't obviously think of why stopping would have caused that. Make sure that you are pushing the top pusher very firmly to see if it will start - if not then it definitely needs service attention - and try to avoid using the reset (bottom) pusher if there is a problem. The good news is that the watch is still within the 12 month service warranty.
