  1. Which one of our dealers has that model?
  2. Then get to 251 and enjoy it...really who is going to know besides yourself?
  3. To funny! Did not even take that close of a look at it...use that sight often as there are some great shots of Gen there.
  4. Buy the standard size one and talk to BlackBard...I am sure he can work his magic to fit you.
  5. The other issue is the complication for the big date...this is a Asian hack job for the most part, that really is not reliable.
  6. Not all of Breilting LE pieces are on their site for 2010. Breilting is getting a little carried away with LE pieces lately. Was cool for the 125TH in 2009, but come on already...
  7. Go to your local Auto Parts store. Some of them have different levels of scotch bright pads...Course, Medium, Fine. The ones I use on Ti are grey in color (fine). I use the redish ones (Medium) for SS. If you have trouble finding some, PM me, I have a box of them. Happy to send you one. Or check out some of the watch supply places, they have several different finishing pads, pens & papers.
  8. HackR's inspiration....cell phone pics...the woman is 5K miles away with the camera! My 172 Case with SS CG..left off the SS Bezel Next to my 036 to compare. This a spare full Ti case I had around. I polished the Bezel and CG to replicate more of how a 172 Tantalum case should be with the polished areas, without using SS. Need to make some adjustments as the Bezel and CG, while having a polished look, they are too blue.
  9. Been around since the B01 was launched...It is just Advertising and has no function to it. Really useless app unless Breitling and changed it.
  10. That is because, that is the only paperwork that has been repped. You will not find B01 repped paperwork.
  11. Red and Krpster are correct...Cannon Pinion puller it is....next time I will have to find some thing a little harder.
  12. Thought this might be fun...found this "Old School" tool in the my buddy's shop today while looking for some lathe collets. Who can name this watchmakers tool or guess what it is used for... We all know Z will know.
  13. I wear mine for about 2-3 months then have it serviced...of course I have the means to do it myself. Prior to learning the skills involved in watch making, I had reps that I wore for 4-5 years and never had them serviced. When I did service them (after training) they were pretty bad! Servicing a movements is not like taking a part a lawnmower or such, putting it back together and expecting it to run. The Asian movements tend to be a little finicky and have a few quarks to them, that are not typically found in the Swiss movements...not to mention the $$$ involved in purchasing equipment to do a proper service. As other have said, do a lot of reading around here as there is a tremendous wealth of knowledge.
  14. OS I think you need to sell this man... I should have opted for one of these beauties instead of the Scarab that just cleared customs! Oh, well, next Rep.
  15. S, The 2894 movement is around 1.8mm thinner then the 7750, also it is smaller in diameter. Pusher location is in the same place as the 7750. If you are looking for a movement w/ Secs @3, you would be better off sourcing a modified A7750, with teh subdials moved like in the Bentley 6.75. Or just invert the movement like on a Graham!
  16. You can go right to your AD and order one. Some play the "What is your serial number" card...but that is just BS.
  17. I just threw up in my mouth a little.
  18. What about tapping holes for lug screws and such? I think AP would have thread metal inserts that are encased during the manufacturing process...Carbon does not hold threads well in its purest form...it is too brittle.
