The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and I just wanted to get some feedback on the following issue. I just bought a Skyracer (slate grey) from an AD 4 days ago and everything works fine. Being picky as I am, I have noticed that the date is not perfectly centered in the date window. It is slightly more to the left.

I have not played around with the date change at all as it was the AD who set the time and date. I understand that one must not use the quick date change between 8 pm and 3 am.

Have any Skyracer owners or other ling owners ever encountered this situation?

This bothers me a bit since I would assume that a watch costing $4K would not have such an issue... Please find attached a picture.

Regards

I really think that if you have second thoughts about the quality of a product you paid 4000$ four, you know what is going to happen. You will go back to the AD and have it fixed.

Also, i don't know if there is anything wrong with the skyracer line as a whole but another forum member had 3 before he had one without any defect, it was bought from gray market though..

Anyways, back on the subject, if it was me i would want that fixed. To have a product of 4000$ work as it should is not being picky at all, it's just good sense.

Take it back, I wouldn't accept that from a $50.00 watch. BTW, I have one and it is a great watch, better than I had hoped.

It definitely needs to go back. If it's consistently in the same position then it should be an easy fix.

Thanks guys for your advice.

Will definitely be taking it back tomorrow to La Swiss in Montreal where I bought it. Will ask them for another one.

If ever they were to fix this one, does it take long to do so? I would prefer to get a new replacement though. Will definitely be checking the date placement on that one....

Thanks

Heck with repair, I'd want another new in the box. They should deal with fixing it being it was their broken watch to begin with.

...and if that is a no go I'd demand my money back and look elsewhere.

If you were in the UK and that was considered to be a fault, then after 4 days you would be perfectly intitled to a replacement or refund. Not sure how you stand in the US though ?

I wouldn't be happy with the date window sitting like that either!

Hey looks like we're quite a couple of guys from Montreal on this forum now ;o)

If the wheel is just slightly out of alignment then it's a quick and easy fix, the problem is that it would have to go to the service centre in Toronto as I doubt that the La Swiss watchmaker will be authorised to work on this problem.



@MartC - Montreal isn't in the US just yet!!!

Cool another Montrealer...

Which La Suisse? D/T or Laval?

I will be at the D/T location later today (anxiously waiting for their phone call) to pick up my
freshly overhauled Chronomat Evolution TT.....

back with ROLEX

It's the LA Swiss in downtown Montreal.

Will give an update after my visit over there this afternoon...
Thanks

If the parking was easier, I would be there more often... Nice store...
Did you take a look at the APs

Sorry for my ignorance but what does AP stands for?

Audemars Piguet

Thanks. Another new word in my watch vocabulary
