Hi All,
RE. Breitling Premier B01 - Blue
I promised a review of my experience with KS Watches and also details of the watch received...
10/08/2020 - After much pondering I finally decided on the watch I wanted. KS advised to link the desired watch from the '
intime05.co' website, to ensure they had the correct watch. I've linked the one I wanted.
11/08/2020 - KS quoted price for watch + shipping, payment via bank transfer, advising "Allow 1 week to get watch from factory and then 7-10 days shipping to U.K. You get actual QC pics in China and then again In from U.K....before shipping to you." I paid later that day.
16/08/2020 - KS sent QC pictures to me and a short video
25/08/2020 - KS sent postage picture and royal mail tracking details
27/08/2020 - Watch arrived in great condition, in a plastic sleeve. Breitling tag was a nice touch, as was the rubbery plastic wrapping (with a Breitling holograph) to protect the watch face. Chronograph functions are working, but very stiff... I intend to avoid using these as they feel a little too stiff to be 'right'...
17/09/2020 - Watch has lost an hour of time, and second hand isn't moving... wound watch manually a little, still not moving. Pressed chronograph, not working. left watch on watchwinder overnight...
18/09/2020 - Watch is working again and keeps time for the rest of the day. chronograph worked again, but wont reset. Reset hammer/ lever seems to be missing the point of contact, sliding below the reset mechanism.
19/09/2020 - Watch stopped again and oscillating plate wont turn, as little blue screw has come out of chronograph mechanism and lodged between clear case-back and plate. Bought case-back opener.. due for delivery whilst I'm away.
03/10/2020 - Returned back from holiday to receive watch wrench, opened case-back and removed screw with tweezers, being careful not to drop screw... Dropped screw onto floor and lost it :-( . Manually reset chronograph whilst watch open. Start/ Stop and Reset not working, but hands now in correct position. Watch is working again, minus screw.
As I have done research into the A7750, it seems clear that use of the chronograph does work but is a point of failure on these watches. I cannot say enough about the qualify of the look this watch has. I've handled the real deal and was so impressed with the rep. the strap is great too. KS Watches did a great job of communication, so I'm giving top marks. Pictures will follow.
Many thanks,
