Horological Meandering

In November, I acquired this strikingly beautiful Breitling Navitimer from the current line. I really fell for the copper dial with the black subdials. ONly two or three weeks thereafter, I found something weird with the chronograph readings: they seemed ...  

to properly fix it it’s impossible to explain. I only lived this situation once. It was with my CFB Manero peripheral. I had to send it back twice and now it works well but I have the sensation that the problem will reappear. Thanks for sharing.

I was lucky so far with three B01 movement watches and no issues at all,including also the newest generation Navitimer. The problem is that nowadays many watches that need service are no longer sent to the manufacture but to third party service centers th... 

The atelier is the national Breitling (and Zenith) SAV partner since decades and has a premium reputation. My suspicion is that (service) watchmakers consider non-watchmakers as unable to understand a watch movement and therefore completely ignore any des... 

the watch was sent to Luzern. And I had to send it back a second time...

Hope you get it sorted quickly and effectively

My first high end watch was a Chronomat in 2007(still own it), with the 7750 movement, I sent it in for service two months ago, and after the second return is still not working properly, let alone after return the central chronograph hand is misaligned an...

I can’t insert the video. It was recently reported at Time and Tide.

...to say the least. I don't get this "in house movement" frenzy and experiences like this one only give strength to my feelings.

Btw my Navitimer works perfectly. ...  

so, confirming the positive experiences of many among you, it certainly IS possible to make a B01 doing what it should do. "Instrument for Professional". And it is still highly accurate well within COSC specifications. When the troubles started with my Ch...  

manager of the boutique has known me for years and knows I'm not a ham fisted geek with watches. It was repaired correctly in one visit to their service center and has not done it again. It's a beautiful watch but 30 minute chronographs have very limited ... 

Had to return my brand new Tudor FXD Chronograph as it was very stiff to wind and made a horrible clicking noise when winding. Hopefully back with me soon…will take a close look when it arrives!

Correct outcome I think although they should have offered day 1 without chasing.

The watch was initially taken to be fixed. I chased a few times asking for updates. Tudor said would be done ‘end January’. I told the retailer half way through February that I wanted a refund or new watch. Hey presto new watch. I think it’s very poor Tud... 

I will pick it up on monday, and sincerely hope the problem has been finally resolved. Marcus

My non in-house movement based Navitimer never had a mechanical issue. I’d probably sell that watch after you get it back again. ...  

I got the call from the boutique last Thursday, and picked the Navitimer up today. The chronograph is running, and up to now it seems to be okay. We'll see. I absolutely love that copper dial variant, and will definitely keep it if it does not let me down... 

... and until now, the counters work as they should. Hope this stays, since I really like this watch. I switched from the standard steel bracelet to a gorgeous rubber strap in milanaise look, very comfortable. Marcus ...
