> 24 hourI bought a Breitling 4 years ago and had so many problems with it since then. I am not used to taking my watch off my wrist even when I take shower. I have 2 other watches, one Rolex and one Omega and never had problems taking bath or getting into the water with them, but with Breitling I had. It was about 2 months after I bought it, the damn thing formed moisture inside it, kind of the air condensate inside , probably from me getting into a hot bathtub wearing it, so I took the watch to the dealer and they said that Breitling didnt offer any warranty in the case that water, humidity gets or moisture/condensate forms inside the watch.(It was supposed to be water proof). So I had to pay US$900 to have a repair service and cleaning done on the thing. Then within one week after getting the watch back, one screw of the bezel fell off so I took the watch back for repair and again they told me that there was no warranty for that because the place where the screw goes was damaged due to over torque on the screw and that it would cost me about US$400, or even more depending, to have it repaired, so I just gave up repairing it again. Next day I took the watch to another watch repair store, and to add insult to injury, the clerk at the store told me that who ever did the repair on the watch before had over tightened the screw and by doing so had damaged not only the screw but the hole and then to cover the mistake they had put superglue in the hole and placed the screw back. (Isnt it a kind of thing that would piss someone off?) WHAT A SH.T service. I am very disappointed and I am sure to let everyone knows about it. I have had my Rolex for about 10 years and my Omega for 6 and never had a major problem with them. The only time I had a problem with my Rolex was when the wristband didnt want to lock properly so I took it for repair and they repaired it in 24 hours NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Ill give it one star because there is nothing worse to give in here.

> 24 hourIve had my Chrono SuperOcean for about 2 1/2 years and its been a great addition to my watch collection. I had my eye on the Navitimer for about a dozen years, but decided to move to the SuperOcean after considering that the Navi didnt have the same level of water resistance. The CSO has been perfect so far. I enjoy the heft on my wrist and even the wobble of the Valjoux 7750 movement when I move my arm just right. The watch is very thick, so if you wear dress shirts every day you might have trouble getting the watch under the shirt. Make sure you go to an authorized dealer before you buy and try the watch on for size. If youve got skinny wrists, you might be better off with the non-chrono SuperOcean, which is slightly thinner.
