Hi All

Has anyone heard that Breitling are having issues manufacturing this years release of the Superocean Heritage?

I have purchased a superocean heritage 42 in blue via the Chrono24 site and have been told by the vendor that Breitling are having issues with manufacturing the model???

Any advise on this would be appreciated

Thanks Michael

I have a SOH 44 Chrono that I purchased a few months ago. Seems to work fine.

I purchased the SOH Chrono 46 last month and have been loving it. Obviously, that's not a very long time, but I thought I'd share.

Did they give any specifics of the manufacturing issues? Is it in the movement? If they weren't more specific, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Chrono24 is not a retailer, they are a marketplace. I doubt there is an issue, sounds like you've ordered from someone who doesn't actually have the watch in stock and are struggling to find one to fill your order. Cancel and visit an authorised dealer and negotiate a discount there. You might pay a little more but at least you'll have a Breitling warranty.

:yeahthat

It's common for dealers to advertise on Chrono24 without having a watch in stock. When searching it's wise to filter via the search options to restrict results to 'Available now'.
