I was in the city today so I decided to walk over to Breguet on 65th and Madison to have them look at my watch that I have been having problems with.

The saleswoman took my watch and immediately determined it was simply 'magnetized' and that was the only problem. I asked her how we fix this (dreading the answer...) and she took out a little box that said 'Demagnitizer' and moved the watch over it and said..."Done." LOL. it looked like a fake device from the 1960's Batman series, not very high tech.

It occurred to me that of course I understand demagnitizers, I just haven't thought about it in a long time..We used to have to demagnetize the 'heads' in our cassette decks..I'm sure it's the same thing.

My Breguet is now accurate to the second since 4PM today! I am so happy I didn't have to not only pay over $1K but Breguet confirmed it would have been a solid 12-16 weeks before I got it back.

They told me it was not important to keep it on a watch winder just to make sure to wind it and or wear it at least once a month..I won't have any problem with that.

While I was there I saw this...

uh oh!

 

That's great news Mark!!

I love the Breguet Tradition Ref. 7027BB/G9/9V6

The Grand Complication is one of the greatest watches ever made. It is one of my life-long goals to own one.

 

Nice Mark! I'm glad to hear it was such an easy fix.

 

Thanks! How rare is this?

What a nice store...old school Madison Avenue...surprised they let me in..

 

You should've bought a lottery ticket too! It was your lucky day!

 

weird you say that...it was actually a great day..saw my doc, got a great check up..went to Breguet and topped it off at Smith and Wollensky's..

Then..

Walked across the street and bought $20 of NY lottery tickets for the 25 million jackpot tomorrow night.

I rarely play the lottery.

anyone want a piece of my tickets?

 

I call dibs on 10% if you win!

 

Paypal is your friend. That'll cost ya $2.

 

Can I pay the $2 after you win?

 

All it need was degaussed? Sweet!
