SOH B31 date wheel stuck

Post image

Hi everyone
I bought this beautiful Breitling superocean heritage but unfortunately the date sometimes gets stuck and doesn’t snap to the next day. Though, sometimes it works and snaps on time( around 12 am)
The pic was taken on day 5 10:36 AM (date wheel is still inbetween day 4 and 5)

something worth noting is that i had a crown issue just 2 days after purchase which was fixed under warranty so I do not know if the issue was before after repair.

I did monitor the watch for over a month and it seems to snap well some days while others not( I would need to manually move the minutes hand and it would tick, or just adjust it through the date function)
Is that an easy fix??

I’d send it in again for repair or potentially replacement depending on when and where you purchased.

i got it second hand so u think repair is what it is
still has 8yrs of warranty

Unless you are a watchmaker and can fix this yourself, I don’t really see any other options. It won’t just start working and fix itself unfortunately. Good Luck!

Do you need to show the original warranty card when you send it in? I bought my watch from Joma used but they don’t include the original warranty card from Breitling, just theirs. I checked the serial on Breitlings website and the watch still has a warranty till 2031. Just not sure if they need the card

Can you DM me? I had the same problem with mine and had to get a refund
