8 week old SOHC and movement has stopped!

[Limited Edition]

Hello All,

I have more misery to add to my Breitling Superocean Heritage Chrono that I bought less than 8 weeks ago. Since I've had it, it had less than 2 weeks of wrist time and ever since, I've had problems one after another. First it was a hour hand slip that led to the date change at 7:00. I managed to fix the problem myself by disassembling the entire watch and manually move the hour hand back into place.

Refer to post for 1st problem: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=87249

A day later, the botton to my deployant clasp popped out and cannot be fitted back into to place.

Now, the movement has stopped entirely and I don't know what to do about it anymore. I've turned the crown to wind the watch, but there is no sign of life. However, when I cuase the rotor to turn, 1-2 seconds on the sub dial will move, but no more.

It is just not maintaining a beat anymore.

What has gone wrong with the movement? How can I fix it?

Thanks.

You can try contacting your collector...and sending it back. It will take 2 months, a bit of a hassle...but that should sort things out. It should cost about $15-20 to mail back...no more!! We've all been there...and had to do that.

Granted...but it's also evil that the buckle should fall apart and the movement stop this early. This should be dealt with by the collector.
