  1. Agree 100%, don't know what happend to H. however he was/is a top class bloke in the same league and region as old EL.

    This was early this year. Wrote several emaisl and always got the answer, that the housing will arrive... then after a couple of month, no answers to my emails... I think, that was it. :thumbdown:

  2. Hi Guys!

    Is there already a Breguet Transatlantique available? The ones I know with date have all the wrong caseback with the "Aeronavale" engraving.

    So when will there be casebacks available with the right engraving? I like this watch very much, but will not get one with the wrong engraving.

  3. Mate....try the Bergies section on the forum here.....you should be able to get pretty much what you want....and Ken is a wonderful guy as well.

    Thanks mate, I found this section, but did nor know, if he sends from Europe? :rolleyes::)

  4. @Tourbi:

    Mind pointing out the significant flaws compared to these pictures of the genuine Blancpain Lemans Tourbillon you think are on the dial, because I can't find any comparing it to the gen? Take a real close look at the tourbillon escapement cage showing in your picture, it is not an ST80 or made by any other chinese tourbillon manufacturer. I can tell by the large center gear wheel which is as large as the balance spring gear and the large escapement & pinion wheel. None of these are common to the asian carousel tourbillons but are a defining mark of the genuine Blancpain carousel tourbillon. I say that is a picture of a genuine you've got there.

    hmmm, could be that you are right. I compared my pic once with another Blancpain tourbillon, and there were flaws. But with your pic - I think you are right. hmmm... but I still hope, that someone could do a Blancpain rep with the rep. tourbillon movement.

    Thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

  5. Can't be done because the ST90 movement has been manufactured as a mirror image of the original, meaning everything is oriental backwards. I explained in a post here.

    If anyone is interested in the history of the chinese tourbillon movements here is the wiki.

    The shown image is a rep... was on a japanese site approx. 5 years ago...
