My Breitling 6.75

[usctrojans11]

Hi

I just got a Breitling 6.75 with the Asian 7750 and sapphire. It looks great. I had a few questions:

1. Sometimes when I go to bed and wake up it has completely stopped - this is after wearing the full day before. It seems to keep charge for 12 hours. It also stops around 3-4 o'clock but no specific time and some mornings its fine and completely functioning.

2. I am in LA any place to view high quality reps - specifically this model?

3. Any place in LA that would work on my watch?

4. Would a jeweler touch my watch if he thought it wasn't authentic - even if I'm willing to pay?

5. When I rotate my wrist hard or make an abrupt movement it sounds like there is a wheel spinning inside but it seems to spin with no resistance and goes on for a little bit before you hear a repeated cocking sound - like when you arm a pistol.

Thanks for the help

1. does the little seconds hand at 3 o clock stop always at the same place? (or almost at the same?)

2. don't know

3. don't know

4. maybe, first make sure they are NOT authorized Breitling dealers

5. this is normal as it's an automatic watch

Yes second hand always stops around almost exactly 15s. What's wrong with the watch?

Sounds like it'll need a full service then - I had the exact issue. These 'stops' will come more and more often, then sometimes it'll stop even on your wrist.

Get it serviced or send it back to the dealer if it's new.

What entails a full service? What do I tell the watchsmith?

[usctrojans11]

bump?

[yodap]

Well, tell him you want to get the movement in your watch serviced. That means fully disassembled, cleaned, oiled and reassembled.
