Hi,

I purchased a second-hand 2012 Breitling Superocean from a London watch dealer back in June last year. I have had no problems with this watch in fact I have been very pleased with my purchase, up until last week when I went to put my watch on in the morning (I never wear it to bed) and noticed that the face of the watch had turned within the case slightly. After a few hours the face had turned nearly 180 degrees in the case. I contacted the dealer I purchased it from and they suggested it had probably been caused by a knock or drop, and will result in the watch being to returned to Breitling for repair. This leaves me slightly confused as I am certain that this is not the case. This watch is very dear to me and I look after it very carefully - I saved for sometime and waited in excess of 6 months to find a model that I liked. Has anybody else had any similar problems as me - and any ideas on a resolution?

The dial is held in place by a set of welded brackets. For any of these to break there is likely to have been some serious impact to the watch that fractured the welds. It needs a trip to Breitling and a new dial and a maintenance service. I doubt Breitling will repair the dial so you will also be looking at a significant cost for a new dial. I have heard of other Superocean dials spinning so may be a weak point.
