I just got a new Breitling Chronomat 44 GMT, does the rule not to change the date between 10pm and 2am count here ?? since this comes with the new Breitling 04 Movement ?
I couldn't find any reference to it in the user manual but better ask..

Thanks

No danger time with in-house movements.

I made the stupid mistake of using quick set around midnight on Breitling SuperOcean GMT, Model A32380, Caliber 32. Could I cause a damage to the date? I have noticed that the date changes 3.5 minutes before midnight. In comparison to much cheaper Kadloo Ocean Millenium (ETA movement), which I happened to check the other night, the date changed 2 seconds after midnight.

Welcome aboard, very nice username.
You could, but you probably didn't.
3.5 minutes is fine, personally I wouldn't be bothered up to 10 min.

If it's changing consistently at the same time for every date then there is likely no damage, if one or two dates change at a significantly different time then there could be one or two bent teeth.

Thanks for both prompt responses, date changes consistently 3.5 minutes before midnight. On another note, I would like to replace my fighter bracelet on my Emergency Mission, but I am lacking the proper tool. I have seen before a posting on this subject, but can not find it anymore. Does anyone remember this tool?

Thank you!

On a similar topic, I have also noticed that my Chronomat's (B13050) crown takes one full turn to catch before engaging to turn the hands when adjusting the time. It was in BUSA service 2 months ago, I am not sure whether it was like that when I received it back from service. Is this normal or should I send it back to BUSA under warranty service?

Something is slipping, get it checked under warranty.
