Welcome to BreitlingSource. It sounds a lot like it needs a service, do you know when one was last done?

Thanx Roffensian!

It looks like it's never been worn (Still had plastic stuck on the back!)

The reputable dealer I bought it from gave a 1 year warranty

It's quite stiff to wind....is this an issue?

Maybe best take in to Breitling in Barcelona

Any ideas i can try?

I can't guess whether it is normal or not, but sounds a lot like it needs a service! Whether it has been worn or not is irrelevant, servicing is driven by time.
