Chronomat Chrono GMT B04 back to the mothership again

[Ken B]

My Breitling Chronomat Chrono GMT with the B04 movement has now gone back to Breitling twice for Warranty work. Honestly frustrated at that fact. An odd issue with this watch was that it was always stiff to wind. I was told this is normal by the AD when I bought it. Fast forward 2 years the stem broke internally and the watch went back. Now 2 years on from that repair it’s getting stiff again and I am sending it back to Breitling again. Fortunately Breitling has a 5 year warranty on this movement. I have 6 months left on my warranty.

I had read horror stories about this movement and had hoped that I was not going to be a victim. But now my hopes are dashed and the watch is back at the mothership for the second time.

Anyone else have B04 issues and a happy ending? I need a bit of positivity to make me feel better. This watch is my favorite of my collection.
