section8 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I've got a Breitling GT from eddie and it's worked flawlessly since i got it..until about 2 weeks ago. I can't get the crown to engage the day/date wheel to set it. I've tried the procedure for when it unwinds - manually wind, then shake, then adjust time to determine am/pm, then adjust day/date - but it still will not work Eddie suggests shipping it to tawain for repair but I'm wondering if there are other options i could try (locally perhaps) before i have to ship it around the world!

ubiquitous Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Perhaps a trip to Ziggy would be of benefit? While it's there, have a tear down and service of the movement to give you a good baseline on service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submersible24g Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 set the time to 6 oclock and then try to set it. the 7750s whether swiss or asian have an issue of date setting in between 10 oclock and 3 oclock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I may be incorrect, but I believe he's mentioned trying to adjust the date during 'safe' hours already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I tried setting it during the 'safe' hours already too, no dice. I don't know The Zigmeister (haven't been lurking enough i guess) Is he a forum member?
