I haven't posted in the Forum for a while because if been very disappointed with my first new Breitling. Most people on this forum know my story. In a nutshell 3 new Chronospace watches from my AD and all faulty. After 6 months of waiting and the 3rd one also arriving faulty I gave up on the Chronospace and upgraded to the Navi 01. After wearing the Navi for about 6 hours I noticed its loosing time. 4 min per day to be exact. After a week the Stopwatch went faulty. The start / stop button is now also the reset button. Going back on Wednesday next week again. Here we go again !!!!

I have seen a video of this - must admit I do not understand how this happens, should theoretically be impossible with the B01 ? Any idea, Roff ?

Nope, it makes absolutely no logical sense at all. There must be something different about the way that Breitling has designed the column wheel (or perhaps the levers) that is allowing something to 'stick'. Not something that has been reported much so not inclined to assume that it is an inherent design flaw, more a weakness that can occur with less than perfect production.

Weird. It's turned into a pseudo-semi-flyback! As Natesen said, you're having some terrible luck with your watches.

Tell me about it. It seems like I am the only one in the history with this amount of Bad luck. Or Breitling has changed focus from quality to quantity ?

Good grief. This must be very upsetting for you. I hope this is sorted quickly and your watch is fully functioning ASAP.

I'd change my lucky socks over before buying any more watches if I were you.

Thanks P51. The biggest irony of all is I bought a B50 in Jan to make me feel better and this watch is working perfectly. Everyone else I know has send theirs back for repairs and mine is the only one working perfectly. Go figure
