Hi guys,

I was using the chronograph feature on my Chronomat 44 GMT today and pulled out the clasp to change the date. Boy was that a mistake..The chronograph will not stop unless I pull out the clasp which stops the whole watch from functioning.

My first thought was to wait 70 hours for the power reserve to run out and see if I could pause/ reset the chronograph after re-winding. Currently when pressing both push piece A & B I don't experience the usual clicking sound nor spring-like resistance. This makes me believe that something has gone awry with the movement.

I'm heading to London on Saturday so I could always drop into the store on Bond Street.

Has anyone had a similar experience to this?

Not the same but something to relate to...

This was at the boutique with the chronomat 44 jet team limited edition! And yeah, they'll fix it. Drop it in...

Same thing just happened to my TOC. I'm sending it in soon. On mine, the pusher is not engaging. I can see that thru the display crystal. I'm really losing my respect for the brand. I'm probably going to flip it once it's fixed.

Very sad to hear these issues with B01. They may not happen on every watch but still not acceptable.

hope you get a more reliable movement next time on...

Seems this is an increasingly common issue with B01. I tried mine (with hesitation) and it did not display this problem.. got away lucky.
