My B50 Cockpit has been working fine since the original problem when it was less than a month old and the crown and stem fell out, and it was serviced by Breitling in Switzerland (the only place that could service it at that time) . The only problem I have had was a charger issue about 8 months ago, when the watch got hot. When I first got it back from Switzerland , it was running "slow", about 1 second every 8 or 10 months! It is now 3 years about 3 1/2 years old and has not been serviced; accuracy is about 1 second slow about every 4 to 5 weeks, well within specs, I believe.
I generally subscribe to the idea "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," and, since the electronic warranty is 2 years which coincides with the water resistance check requirement, I have not sent it in for any kind of servicing.
Has anyone had a "minor" or "major" service overhaul on their B50l? At what age? What result with respect to the returned watch's accuracy and the refinishing/buffing of the titanium case, etc.?
