Welcome to BreitlingSource. Using the search function will help with many threads on these topics. It's completely up to you whether you keep the watch wound or let it stop and then set it each time. Most people will keep it running for convenience. Again a winder is up to you - convenience vs. hand winding each day. Service interval is 5 - 7 years and is driven by the age of the oils, use or otherwise is largely irrelevant. For cleaning a soft toothbrush and diluted dish soap works well, for occasional polishing Sunshine or Cape Cod cloths are recommended - dozens of threads on both. |

Thank you for the tips. I hadn't even thought about using the search function on the site I will certainly give that ago. Wessa, that watch is lovely. I love the colts classic look. To me it's a real gentlemans watch. |

Hi Benolio, thanks for the message. im now 4 days in and i absolutely love this watch and im surprised how many people notice it which is nice. The choice was actually quite easy even though i wanted the Avenger it just didn't quite look right. i was also looking for watches with a grey/black face and then went for the blue in the end so i completely went against what i set out to have... i certainly made the right choice. Dings will be a shame but im certainly going to be wearing this watch. After reading these forums i now have all the knowledge i need to make sure its nicely looked after. the biggest issue is i already want to have another one for more dressy occasions . a rather expensive addiction may have begun. thanks again for everyones help. dan |

Hello Dan, Well done on your new l had to wait until I was 40 for my first one, now on my third, which I got about 4 weeks ago. I only wear my about once a week, so got my self a winder. Apart from keeping it going it looks so good going round in it,s box. These winder,s can be cheap as chips or silly money. I got a German make on amazon UK called a Klarstein l think it was about £60 you can pay over £200 but I thought I would give this make a go. Enjoy your watch Mick |

Congrats and welcome to the club! A beautiful piece you've got! As others have said - winders are for convenience. But there's also a certain joy in winding your watch and resetting it. So don't stress over a winder! |
