Took delivery of a Super Ocean 36 five days ago that replaced a 2 month old one with winder issues.

The 5 day old one has stopped twice dispite it being worn for 16 hours per day, it has needed to be wound manually twice, it is going back for a refund this time.

Very disappointing QC/build.

Did you try to wind the crown at least 40 FULL TURNS and see how long it runs for?

OP sorry to hear about your issues. I'd be pretty upset in your situation. Good luck on this.
Yes on both occasions I wound it 45 turns to be sure. On top of this it was worn for 14+ hours each day afterwards, it "went flat" around the 42 hour mark since winding manually.

The first one with the manual winding issue worked fine if worn and sat on a winder.

My Missus decided to get one more replacement which we will pick up on Saturday, she really likes the Super Ocean.

The B50 is still at Breitling being repaired. Sounds like I will get it back in another week or two. So in the last 9 or so months of ownership it will have been out for repairs around 30 days in total. I will update again once I get the watch back but I expect it will come back working.

Just got my watch back yesterday, and it works as it should. So on an 8 month old watch it has been back at the service center for close to 5 weeks between these two repairs. AD in Portland, OR is worthless and basically referred me to Breitling for the fix. Not sure what the point is of buying from an AD if they wash their hands of the watch after the sale. Ironically I purchased my SOH Chrono from Costco and it has worked great and I know if I ever do have a problem I can just return it. AD's could learn a thing or two from Costco.
