smithdj10 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 My watch arrived today. A white face Breitling Navitmer Asian 7750 3-6-9 layout. First impression - AWESOME! Looks the part, feels the part - I'm very pleased. So, I now want to take good care of it. I'm sure I've seen on RWG links to guides on how to use the chrono functions (I'm aware that over usage can bring the lifetime of the watch down). Any links to this guide - I can't find it? Also, should I wind the watch fully as ASAP? Any help / advice is appreciated. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmzy Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Don't set the date between 10 and 2 Top button starts the chrono, always use this button again to stop it before resetting with bottom button. Just a couple of light turns of the crown to get it started, a few swirls to move the rotor and then wear it to auto wind. Congrats on your taste......IMO the best looking watch that exists. Here's mine..... Edited March 20, 2008 by Emmzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithdj10 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks for quick reply. I'm getting a black leather strap like you have also. In fact I've also ordered a brown one as well from Mac who does the BOBs. Another question regarding the date. How do you set it? So don't set the date when the time is between 10am and 2pm, or 10pm and 2am? Why, what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicale Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Another question regarding the date. How do you set it? You can set the date by pulling the crown out one position. Pulling it out further will set the time. So don't set the date when the time is between 10am and 2pm, or 10pm and 2am? Why, what happens? The time to avoid is between 10pm and 2am as that is the period when the date changes over, and you could damage the date-change mechanism. To be safe, set the watch to 6 o'clock before setting the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well, I also bought a Navitimer, so I will share my pics Decided to go with a different color. The blacks and whites are great, but I already have a beautiful black and white Movado, and needed something with gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have one too... they are such clever watches. Because of all the numbers, when people see me wearing it, they think I'm some kind of mathematician! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
