The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Well the warranty is a yellow booklet, but you shouldn't have to complete anything - it should already be completed by the AD, with most of the information printed if it is the warranty that goes with the watch that you bought. Can you post pictures?

You should also have the COSC certificate (although a replacement of that can be ordered).

Something is just not right with this store.

I only saw the yellow booklet that was empty with a stamp. I didn't have my watch with me when I was in the store so I come tommorow. I text them that it was incomplete. And that I need the official certificate as well. But why is it so important? Do I get trouble with garantee without certificate? And how long do I get garantee?

The warranty booklet should be personalised to the watch, it sounds as though yours is just a generic one that doesn't have the watch model or serial numbers printed in it - that could be an issue with Breitling if you ever need to use the warranty. Breitling's standard warranty is 2 years, in house movement models have a 5 year warranty but you haven't told us which model you bought so can't tell you for sure what you have.

The COSC has nothing to do with the warranty, the watch was independently certified to meet the standards for chronometer certification and the certificate is evidence of that. If your husband is going to keep the watch forever and doesn't care about that then it's not an issue, but the watch is incomplete without it and if you ever want to sell the watch the buyer will expect it.

I don't think we wanna sell the watch. I think it's a beautiful watch.

It's an ocean colt A74380. I found this picture from the internet BTW. But this is exactly the model and the wristband.

That will be a 2 year warranty.

No, it's not going to happen.

If it were me I would want everything that I was entitled to - the watch costs more because it is COSC certified, and I would want proof of that if I bought the watch new. If you are never going to sell and your husband doesn't care then forget he COSC. It is important to have a warranty that matches the watch in terms of model / serial number though.

(Heartstone, you are aware that that's a quartz and not a mechanical watch yes? No problem with that of course - Breitling quartz watches are top-notch - but given what else you say about this outlet I jut wanted to check that they'd explained that this was a battery-powered and not mechanical watch.)

All I can say is WTF!

Cheers!

Buyer beware !!

This, to me, is the way to go.

What is unfortunate is that there are several ways to buy Omega and Breitling with 25% (not just 20%) discount and get an authentic, fully papered, brand new and fully warrantied watch. I find it too bad for the people who get scammed by ethically-challenged sellers like this.

I know that I am late to this saga, but looking at the picture, if this watch is new, why is the chimney all beat up between 5:00 and 8:00? it is possible that the new owner beat the crap out of it as soon as he walked out of the store but the bottom of the chimney as opposed to the leading edge is a strange place for one's first ding...

Read the line below the pic. She said she pulled the pic from the net.
