I’ve wound it up, worn it and now think I’ve over wound it but it’s doing nothing. The hands move if I try to adjust the time but it still won’t work. I want to take the back off to check if it’s had water damage or anything but don’t know how.

What do I do?

    Take it to a professional - unfortunately it will cost you, but significantly less than the cost of opening it yourself, unwittingly damaging it more, and then having to pay a professional anyway (and now needing bonus posts replaced).

    Fixing watches is absolutely possible for people to learn, but it is a skill that takes a lot of practise and learning - something you want to learn on cheap movements you don’t mind damaging, not a Breitling

    This is as ridiculous as the „is it totaled“ posts in the Tesla subreddit. Your watch has stopped working? Than bring it to a watchmaker!
