All good. Closed Case back better. Noob is you are into modding H-Fac if you want the best out of the box.

Thanks for all your replies. All really helpful. I own quite a few reps and this it the first one to go wrong so I haven't been too unlucky over the past 6-7 years. I did take it to my rep friendly watchsmith and was told that he would not bother looking at it because he cannot get parts for the movement. Does anyone know of a watchsmith or forum member on the UK that could look at it? Alternatively I may just sell it as the watch is in perfect condition apart from the date function. What would it be worth in it's current condition? If anyone is interested let me know

Hi Guys The date function on my Breitling Bentley 6.75 has stopped working. I cannot change the date via the crown or by the time going past 12. Is there anything I can do besides a movement change? I guess it would be a difficult fix because of the complications. Any help would be much appreciated as I've only worn it about three times. Is it worth much selling it in need of repair? The watch basically new.

Much appreciated advice. Thanks

I went to my local rep friendly watchsmith in the week and asked him to check the water resistance of my H-Factory Pam 005. He said it was pointless testing it as the crown would still turn with the CG lever closed. Is he right? Should my crown not be turning when the CG lever is closed?

Hey guys. Whilst we're on the subject of this beaut, my perpetual date has stopped working on mine. It won't change whether I use the crown or wait until midnight. Can this be fixed? Anyone have any tips on what the problem might be? Any help would be much appreciated.

Please do, would love to see it!

I'm with you, that is god damn rediculous! Why is he selling it so cheap!? (joke)

Thanks for sharing. Pic 10 makes it look a little bit nasty.

I've been looking for one for ages, where did you pick it up?

Nice watch. I have this in two tone. Only difference (apart from the two tone) is that your crown sits flush on the case, mine doesn't, don't know why.

Sorry for your loss but that is one of the funniest stories I've heard in ages! Too many puns, Im not one for toilet humour!

Ha! I love the Simpsons reference! Like you poccoq I will use the buckle and stick it on a nice bob strap. I emailed the dealer I bought the strap from and they told me they checked their stock of these straps and yes they smell but not too bad! They're sending me another strap, just encase the smell starts to wear off the one I've already got!

A fascinating read and beautiful watches. I wish I knew where to start with modding, if I did, I would create franken's like the ones I drool over on this forum!

Who's a lucky birthday boy!? This is a great looking watch, thanks for sharing.

I love the contrast between the case color and strap. Gorgeous!

Just let me know when and where I can buy it!

I agree with you, I always go bob for straps but my brother wanted one from the cartel so I'm asking on his behalf! It smells like big foots [censored]! I might send it back

Hi guys I just ordered a breitling leather strap from the cartel and it stinks! It smells like musty damp mould! I can't get rid of the smell. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Any way to get rid of the smell?

Nice work, easy to see countless man hours have gone into this beauty!

I've just ordered one of these straps thanks to your recommendation! Looking forward to getting it.

this is class!

Does anyone know how water resistant this watch is? I bought my 005 from Josh and he states watches over $200 are tested 1-3 atm, but I wasn't sure whether or not to get it tested or how good it will be.
