No. I have not seen that on any MBW, but it is very special to have a watch made in Shitinerand.

Hello everybody.

I have almost 20 reps ( i will post the pics in few day promise )

I don't kknow if you are like me but i like a lot my watch but i have one that i prefere.

Thats a rollees GMT CHS SWISS PEPSI.

I wore this watch everyday since i got it there is 3 weeks ago.

my questions are simple :

How many time your dailly rep still alive without problem ( swiss movement ) ?

And if you have a probleme with your swiss rep does ot possible to fix it easly to a watch maker ?

Thanks.

Friendly Philippe.

Thanks to everybody.

So for the Rolex strap i didn't touch it.

I will try the silicone during the weeks.

For set the date on the rolex pepsi i let it like that for the moment i don't care.

The date change at 00 h 10 every day so that's not a big problem for me apparently the date is synk with the GMT HANDS.

Never mind i don't use the GMT HANDS.

I will let you know about the sylicone on the strap.

Thanks again.

Friendly Philippe.

Vintage Rolex watches have hollow link bracelets, which are light & noisy.

Yes i know, but that's not a rivet strap and the watch is GMT model is not so old.

Thats the same on the SSD crap strap.

\Rolex is light .. it is "hollow links" and you will come to appreciate the build.. the heavier solid links get to be a nussance after constant wear.. IMO ... i have grown to really love the weight of the Rolex.. the Rotor can be lubed to quite the ball bearings in them .. i am assuming you have the asian movement ??

Sorry my friend i didn't understand no I bought an swiss movement.

I mean by noisy that the strap is noisy.

Sory

Apparently Swiss

Sorry.. go ahead and follow freddy's cue..

Ok thank you guy.

I'am preaty news trust me i really like the reps world.

But i don't know everithing on this little world.

I have few more question sorry if boring

Does it normal that all of my rolex reps arrive with a good strap but really light and noisy ?

True, so I suggested contacting the seller if unsure.

My real question is does the date will change everitime and definitly at 00 h 10.

Or does that problem will become more problematic ?

Because if the watch will stay with the little probleme i will assume.

i don't want to take the risk to have some probleme with custome for this little probleme.

Friendly Philippe.

... he's new freddy could be a bit much to take in all at once..

News News

almost one years on this superb forum and almost 20 reps bought.

Your english is fine man.. better than i could do in your native language..

sound like the date wheels are misaligned .. i had the same problem on one of my GMT's last year.. email King .. you need to send them back for repair .. remember you cannot insure this parcel.. to claim anything you have to show proof of purchase ... but it should be totally safe.. it takes about a month or a little over that ..to and from

what ever you do do not take it into a AD (authourized dealer) or watchsmith you do not know and trust personally.. this is an illicite trade item..

I know your stressing but we have to play the game with these things all the time... part of the ball game..

let us know how it turns out .. many members are customers of King.. she should come through for you

Aloha~Cheers

Thanks Lani to answer so quickly,

Ok that's really a big problem for only one watch,for the ROLEX GMT II ERAMIC.

For the ROLEX GMT II PEPSI that's ok the date change at 00 h 10 so only 10 min.

I just checked there is few minutes that's maybe because of the GMT HAND the date is maybe sync with this hand.

i explain :

When the GMT HAND arrive at 00 h 00 anything past but wen it 00 h 10 the GMT HAND advance a little bit and at this moment the date change.

So maybe that's the problem don't you think.

I really don't want to send the watch back to king.

to many risk with the custom.

wating for your news.

Friendly Philippe.

Hello,

I bought 3 ROLEX GMT on the king's site.

1) ROLEX GMT II CERAMIC ETA IHS

2) ROLEX GMT II (PEPSI) SWISS CHS

3) ROLEX EXPLORER II CHS

The date on the ROLEX GMT II CERAMIC change at (06 h 30) and not at midnight (00 h 00)

The ROLEX GMT II (PEPSI) change the date at 00 h 10 and not at (00 h 00)

What the problem with those watch.

Maybe the date is sync with the GMT HAND ????

I understan anything.

If someone know that problem ........

Please help me.

Waiting for your answer

Thanks ans sorry for my poor english.

So correct hand stack.

Wrong crown guards.

lousy crown etching at 6:00

But in general looks like a decent rep ?

ok Thanks to everybody to answer so quickly.

Do you think that the strap is ok because i bought there is two mounth ago a sea dweller on the king's site.

The strap was so bad looks to light not solid link.

So i just want to find a decent rolex on the king's site.

She is a really good dealler and i trust her.

Every time good experience.

Hello guys what do you think about those new rolex ?

I woud like to buy those rolex but i prefer to have your opinion before.

Waiting for your check.

Thanks and sorry for my really poor english.

I don't have the chrono version, but i'm confident that this is what you need to do.

Remove the screw in the back, the stem release button is behind it. Carefully remove the stem.

Then unscrew the four screws on the front and remove the top. The dial and mechanism will now come easily out of the front of the case.

The battery should be obvious on the mechanism and can be replaced.

Then simply reverse the process.

However.....my advice if you're not confident to do this, is take it to a rep-friendly watchsmith, tell him how to release the stem (mine couldn't work it out and he's been in the game for 35 years) and let him do it for you.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to answer so quickly.

I will try to follow you advice.

But why our deallers didn't make something easier.

Thats really difficult to replace the battery for a big and buatiful watch.

Friendly Philippe.

I have just bought a gen and I love it so much that I'm seriously considering buying the quartz rep as an everyday beater. I was actually wondering about the battery replacement and figured that the only way in is through the front. What's your honest assessment of the watch?

Hello and thanks to answer so quickly.

The watch looks really amazing.

Fell strong,and heavy.

the chrono works perfectly (quartz mouvement )

I get it with a black rubber strap really nice and confortable.

Really good rep,if you like the BELL AND ROSS style.

Buy it now.You will be really hapy.

The only problem it's for the battery replacement.

not looks difficult but i prefer that a pro do it.

And trust me anybody want to touch a rep in paris so thats a really problem.

i hope to answer to your question.

Sorry for my poor english.

Freindly Philippe.

Hello All,

Within the past few months I purchased a Bell & Ross BR03-94 quartz Chronograph. I have been looking at this thing and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to replace the battery.

There is only one screw on the caseback and it doesnt look like it does anything....there are also 4 screws on the dial side...but from the looks of it the crown would prevent access to the backside of the movement.

Does anyone else have a quartz version of the B&R and could give me a quick tutorial on battery replacement? I don't need to replace it yet...just thinking ahead.

Thanks in advance!

Philippe.
