It's a wonderful watch to wear. The chronograph function on mine's a bit of a disaster, I am afraid to report. Somehow, the sixty-seconds-half-minute-jump every so often fails to happen, which is pretty annoying. I had it sent it to Breitling for fixing on warranty. Unfortunately, the problem persists, and it's with Breitling again. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Sorry to hear that

I like to sync my Chronographs with the real time (I'm weird like that ) so occasionally I do check (them all) to see if they are keeping good (chronograph) time.
Fortunately my 765 doesn't skip a beat although in the very beginning, they were out of sync one time, by one minute... . Since it was only the one time, I can't be sure if it was my mistake or the watch's
What really upsets me about your situation is that it already made a trip to Breitling...* anyway, I hope they get it finally sorted for you

*If it makes you feel any better, I also had to send in a watch (Tudor GMT) TWICE for the same [stuck datewheel] issue but thankfully it appears the 2nd time did the trick. Very bothersome to say the least

If I had to guess, there's probably something wrong with the minute recorder assembly. After the 60 second jump, it somehow jumps back. From what little I understand how chronograph is built, this sounds more like a systematic problem rather than an adjustment problem.

This one has a similar problem: https://www.chrono24.ch/watch/BKT834 (this watch serves for multiple Chrono 24 ads, btw)

Maybe this one, too (unless it has been stopped creeping): https://www.chrono24.ch/watch/BE21I7
