The Breitling Watch Source Forums

My 2014 SuperOcean has developed an issue where pulling the crown out to the second position no longer stops the second hand or allows me to change the time. I noticed this when I went to reset the date for 1 March (which worked) and correct the time (which didn’t).

Of course the watch will need to go in for service, but wondering if this is a typical issue for the SuperOcean? Seems like an odd failure for being just over 4 years old.

Can happen. I've had a broken crown stem on a Panerai and Girard-Perregaux. That's why I only service watches when the watch tells me it’s time for a service.

Welcome to the wonderful wide world of Swiss luxury mechanical timepieces. I feel your pain OP. I currently have a watch in for service and not that long ago I just had my Submariner serviced. Now my B-2 Professional is waiting in line as it’s next to go as it awaits servicing. Those service fees add up fast! Sure does make a strong argument for quartz watches, don’t you think?
