Bought the Breitling Super Ocean and went diving (I am a professional dive instructor 30+ years). Noticed condensation and took it back to store I bought it.
They told me I didn't tighten screw down crown (never happened to any other watch I own...all water proof). Found out NOT crown but defective "Helium Relief Valve"
Breitling wants $1,256.70 to fix. NOTHING wrong with works (had checked by a very reputable jeweller). WILL NOT JUST FIX THE PROBLEM!!!! Want to do a complete overhaul despite my request to just fix what was wrong...If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!!
What a rip off. Will never get a Breitling again. Will stick to Rolex and Citizen. NEVER a problem and service reasonable!
