The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello -
I lost my crown and brought my watch to a watchmaker.
After reparation the watch has an problem pushing the crown.
There is no funktion pushing the crown any more.

What could be the problem?

Thanks for help!

Best regards Wolle

Give us some more info please... what model are we talking about here?

Pics would be helpful too.

What's the model? Who did the repair work? Was it a Breitling approved agent? How old is the watch? What happened to cause the crown to be lost initially? Was it dropped? Etc. etc.

The watch is a aerospace F 753.. The work was done by an authorized watchmaker in Germany.

Could it be that the watchmaker has forgotten a pin between the crown an the watch?

Thanks a lot

Hmmmm, difficult one. The Aerospace (and indeed all the Professional SQ models) are pretty specialised and not necessarily something that a non-Breitling watchmaker would be familiar with. After-all, a pushpiece crown is quite a rarity in itself. If I was you I'd take it to a Breitling AD and get them to have a look. It may result in a trip back to Breitling, but at least you can guarantee that it'll be fixed.

Hope you get it sorted out OK.

Thanks for the good anwers! So, I think there is a pushpin missing.
I can push the crown with a klick, but there is no funktion.

Next week I will bring the Aerospace back to the watchmaker.

Best regards
