recently, i've noticed that the minute hand jumps ahead when i depress the start/stop/reset button on the chronograph. can this be fixed? i took mine into the dealer today and won't know for a couple of days. there i've noticed that all the motors, motors t, and 6.75 line do this. but the gt model doesn't. i was shocked. i'm wondering if breitling knows about this flaw. i can't believe breitling would allow their watches to be sold with this problem, cause breitling and chronographs are synonymous with accuracy. it's like saying it is cosc rated as long as you don't use the chronograph function. i am very disappointed!

That sounds really strange, and worrying. Luckily I haven't experienced any of that with my 6.75 (phew). Hope you'll get it sorted out and even more, that they can tell you what causes it to happen (and how to avoid it).

Never noticed it before,

But my Motors does it too, I don't really care but it is definitely happening with mine and I've had mine a year and never even noticed.

...believe I saw a previous thread on this...reported as a basic design issue with the BM....(mine jumps ~1/2 minute).

This is normal behaviour for the Motors and Motors T unfortunately. Did not know the 6.75 did this. I suppose that means the Crosswind Special and Flying B Chrono and others using the Caliber 44 do that as well then.
