The Breitling Watch Source Forums

So I've just wound my navi from not wearing it for about a day and a half, just prefer to give it a full wind when left standing, when I noticed a lot more friction and harder to turn as I reached the final 'clicking' area normally indicating fully wound. When listening closely and winding at the same time, it almost sound like I'm forcing the movement round. I know it can't be good news but, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
many thanks in advance.

Does it sound like the rotor is spinning around?

That's been reported a few times lately and I'm not sure what causes it. The problem can start and stop at random but if it persists then it definitely needs Breitling attention.

That's exactly what it feels like....or should I say felt like. wound it up again this morning, taking it nice and easy and fully expecting the same resistance, and strangely enough it's back to normal. I'll keep an eye on it, be good to go another year, which is when the first 5 year service is due. Thank's for the reply Roff.

Had this problem with my Navitimer sent it to BUK and they replaced the crown and something else,{cant find the receipt to say exactly }but defo I would send it in NOW whatever the problem it will not fix itself it can only make more problems and its near enough to a full service time anyway.
