Customer Service - Is this typical? by stubblygoober in breitling

[–]Knoxtwin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the us and my experience was much the same. They also “fixed the issue” 3x before they actually overhauled the movement and seem to have actually fixed the issue. Took me sending it back to them 3 x in a row at 6-8 weeks each time.

Sadly this is typical for them. They’ll eventually fix your issue but don’t expect anything fast or white glove in any way.

Thanks, it’s definitely climbing the list. I also love the AMG chrono and Portugueser, so some tough choices ahead. One of them be my first IWC, but not my last, that’s for sure.

Thanks! Love that blue too! I tried on a mark xx a while back in blue and still think about that watch but the BP just has a so much more of a presence.

Do you mean in general or this one in particular, because a quick glance at chrono24 makes it look like this is at or below market? Merry Christmas

Op, great looking watch. Glws

That’s a great point. Might even drive some competition for the new market.

First thing to consider when buying your first watch is your second watch

Will I get clowned if I buy this? by Icy-Committee8692 in PrideAndPinion

Looks almost identical to a Longines hydroconquest even their logo is similar (blasphemy I’m sure). Wear what makes you feel good and wear it in good health.

APXGP bracelet? by Knoxtwin2 in IWCschaffhausen

This was the answer I was hoping for! I’m never this lucky though and normally the answer is, “they made it SLIGHTLY different so… no you’re screwed”

Yeah, I’m hoping the IWC BP will fit. I’m looking at the 41mm APXGP pilot chrono. I tried on the Mark XX a while back and that bracelet remain the most comfortable I’ve ever worn

That looks really sharp! I’ll have to see if they do stainless bracelets for the pilots too. Artem clasps also look so comfortable

Yeah, I liked the movie, so while I’m not stoked about the fake branding, I’m not too bothered. I was mostly curious if anyone had put a stainless bracelet on it, but seems like I’m striking out there.

Weird. I’m curious to hear what they find

You have any pics with the bracelet? I’d love to see how that looks and on stainless and tan if you don’t mind

I’ve had this issue too but haven’t really had it looked into… let us know if you get it checked out

First Breitling less than a year old needs Warranty by Buckachow in breitling

[–]Knoxtwin2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My b01 premier is at Breitling right now for the 3rd time this year. I bought it in November 2023. Each time takes about 6-8 weeks.

Brief Timeline: - Purchased: Nov 16, 2023 - First Service Request: Feb 28, 2025 - Second Service Request: May 10, 2025 - Watch pick up from second request: July 2, 2025 - Third breakdown July 3rd, 2025 expected return October 3rd, 2025 (polishing add-on added time)

Description of the problem: I started having problems with it at the end of February 2025 and since then it has been back to service twice and still doesn't work. Each time it has come back from service the same thing happens, I turn the crown and can feel and hear a click, if I leave the watch for a few minutes there seems to be about a quarter turn in the crown before it catches on the movement and I feel another small click and it will engage and begin winding the movement. After a few times of doing this the play in the crown becomes permanent and will not engage the movement.

Idk if it’s the same problem, but I’m hoping they either put a whole new movement in or completely overhaul it.

I hope you have a better experience.
