Hey all , looking for some help.
This was my first watch i purchased , it's been great! I don't wear it all the time, maybe twice a week and don't use a winder (so i wind it each time )

Now it just stopped working, tried winding it like i always do and nothing. It did start going but seemed to stop shortly after . Its less then 3 years old ..

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing ill have to send it to breitling?

Thanks

May be due a service after 3 years. I’m assuming you are giving it the full 40 winds each time? Try wearing it daily for a week. Sometimes oils can settle and thicken up if the watch isn’t worn regularly. May be with trying before you send it off to Breitling.

I guess you've tried to give it a GENTLE shake.....

It'll come back looking like new with a year's warranty so well worth the investment.
