New Chrono 44 GMT needs service
All of a sudden, doesn't hold power reserve any longer than 12 hours or so.
Even if I place it in a winder, still loses reserve. Two months old. As soon as I receive my Navitimer 01 that is there for its two year service, out goes this one. |

Update:
So I make a service request order online and request a shipping package be sent to me. In the interim, I wear it for a few days, winding it daily and then on to the winder. Has held date and time for 6 days or so now. Getting ready to test power reserve while not on a winder for the next three days to see how it holds up. I guess the fear of going off to mother land scared my Chrono and it decided to work fine again. |

Well, gave it ample time and ended up having to send it in today.
Loses power reserve, even while on a winder. In fact, switched it to different winders. All other watches retain it fine. Doesn't matter which timer I put it on, loses it. |

It's a bit of a bummer to have to part with your Breitling for a little while, but, at the end of the day, you'll have peace of mind once it has been serviced.
Good luck! |

Man I hope not.
They just got it today. I had my Navitimer serviced for the 2 year maintenance last month and had it back in my hands in 14 days from the time they received it but I guess if this for some reason needs to be overhauled, yeah, two months sounds about right. |

I forget what mine needed, it was a couple years ago. Bezel was loose, I think there was a service and a part was on backorder from Switzerland. Yay me. You'll be stoked when you get it back tho. It's a awesome watch!
