The Breitling Watch Source Forums

i got a 6.75 over the holidays off ebay (i know )and just wanted to make sure its real thing. my local dealer told me watch is real but to truly know i have to send it to breitling to open up the back. guess local ad do not carry keys for bentley models,,,everything matches the serial number but back of warranty card where country and retailer name there is nothing there but small word MEIEROTTO with number 318583 stamped not written. if possible as well, what year this watch was produced as well?? Thanks fellas,,,

thanks guys for welcoming me and verifying the watch,,there is so much info on this forum wish i knew before purchasing my watch,,,

Few more questions. my watch does barely lume at night. i can barely see the green. is this normal or its suppose to be really bright when its dark.
another things is how often am i service the watch??

Thanks,

If you use the search function you will find quite a few threads on lume, Breitling's isn't the best but most of the issue is doen to perception - lume magically looks better when your eyes have adjusted to the dark.

Plenty of threads on servicing too - 5 - 7 years is the general guideline for service intervals.

thanks, Roffensian,,if i send my watch to breitling for service, can they fix this lume issue??

There is no lume issue, and no, servicing does not touch the lume.

Put the lume under a light and then look at it in the dark.
