With some Sander Hot Fundge for desert! Oh wait...you don't get that stuff in NC.

MODELE DEPOSE MANUFACTURE EN SUISSE is on the Gen BCE.

Let me see if I can get the tool again as it was borrowed.

Pam036, on some BlackBard 6mm thick skins.

+1...The effect the guilloche has, can not be duplicated in the reps. Stunning what a difference the gen is regarding the subtleties.

Got ya! Really for $600 more and some BSing you can walk away from a AD with a new one.

Really? The AD's are flood with blue in my area. Silver faces are easy to come by as well, black faces...forget it. I have seen maybe 2 since the SteelFish hit the market when it was the X-Plus. $1600 is a good price for a year old Fishy.

Yes, when I swapped the hands, DW and polished it all up before selling it here. Bergeon bezel remover popped it right off.

All while washing it down with some Faygo Red Pop! Smithdj10, PM'd

This I know. Took them out anyway when I popped the bezel off for the first time, just incase.

No…showing off would have been doing in on my head while my lovely assistant feed me a sack of 10 WC's!

Have you seen RL latest pieces

That is for a full service on a A7750. Completely tearing the movement apart, cleaning it and reassembling it with 5 different kinds of oil/lube. If it is some thing simple, then it is going to be cheaper then that. Was working on another members watch over the weekend that had just stopped... After de-casing the movement I remove the balance..the hacking lever had broken off from the sliding pinion and was wedged up against the balance wheel. Pulled the broken hacking lever piece out and reinstalled the balance...she fired right up. From my limited experience there are a couple of piece in the chrono working that easy failures and when they go, they get lodged into the balance causing the movement to stop.

Not on the SOSF I had. I lost a screw and replaced it with a spare. It was in fact a screw and not a plug with a screw head.

Only one way to find out. Start removing the screws

White dial maybe

Current SO on a bracelet has a MSRP of $2845, so I would venture to say it is a safe bet that it will be more then this.

I like the black

I have a 177 case that I am working with. Polishing the Ti and CG is easy. Don’t know why people think polishing Ti is hard

I just want to dive in!

I thinkg those only reside south of 8 mile!

Now Z being able to do the Tachymeter ring in red would be impressive, not like his work is not already! Hmmm...Gen dial??? Would be slicker then greased owl sh!t my friend!

Man you know how hard of a time I have taking sharp tip measuring devices to near a Gen BCE? Give a brother a break! Gen BCE Crystal is around 1.300"...Give or take the measuring error from the tape I put on the caliper tips.

As much as I feel Breitling is going a little overboard with the DLC, trying to create LE piece...this is one I really like! Just needs a Bracelet.

The issue with anodizing titaium, is that it is more of a decorative coating that has solid uniformity in color then what Tantalum is. You can see in the picture below. Ti Anodized: More here: Linky Tantalum watches: By looking at the pics, I think you can gain a understanding of the difference between Anodized Ti and what Lani has done. Just need to control the amount of blueing...which I have some ideas on while keeping the oxide layer dark. Raph I am liking oyur style!
