did you buy from an AD? if so I would have them do the work....if not take it to them and they can send it into brietling corp to have them "tune" up the watch...

Residue on the hands :shock: Are you 100% sure you did not buy a fake (and a bad one at that) because it is impossible Breitling would let a watch pass that has residue on the hands :!: If it is real some incompetent a-hole must have tampered with it. :(

I can only agree - I find it hard to believe that something like that could pass qc.

Remember though guys that the Crosswind is an older model though, so I'm guessing it was bought second-hand.... in which case Breitling QC has nothing to do with it. It sounds to me that it may have got a bit of moisture in it at some point. I had a Seiko years ago that was badly resealed at a battery change and as a result it got moisture inside which caused the hands to blacken in places.

I'd suggest a full service at Breitling would be the order of the day here.

I agree 100%, if it's a fake also that will be revealed at the same time :wink:

Driver......If you are not a father you will one day make a good one. You always have such sound and comforting advise. :P Seriously though, your knowledge and input is valued and appreciated. :D

Oh, nice watch ChengLiu and good luck with your dilemma. Keep us posted.
