Interesting, a 4th MBW SN:
I will pop mine open in the next week and measure the SRSD dial that came with it for grins.

Freddy,
What are your MBW case numbers?
From http://www.rwg.cc/members/serial-number-MB...bw+case+numbers
1665 MBW Single Red MM 5790188 Stainless Steel Registered Design 16651665 MBW Double Red MM 5790188 Stainless Steel Registered Design 1665
1665 Great White MM 5789899 Stainless Steel Registered Design 1665
I am going down an almost exact path as your DRSD, and have the 5790188 MBW. (My Clark Super t-39 arrived today
).As far as dial's go, in shopping ND, Yuki, etc, it looks like most SD dials come in at 26.5mm. Is yours 27?

@freddy333 - Is the dial on that DRSD the stock MBW, Gen, or modded?
(working on my own 1665 project)

So the Asian 21j movement is junk.
...
Not necessarily. Maybe I am the exception but, I have had at least a half-dozen 21j's with no issues. In fact, after regulating, most of my 21j's are within a few seconds per day.

Josh recommended me to use loctite and it worked just fine. I can promise you that my "scews" won

The plot thickens.
Hopefully Ziggy will chime in since he has the most experience with this rep.

The real name thing is tough, especially if you find yourself needing to pick it up from the shipper.
In the past, I have dropped or substituted a letter in my last name. In that case, it was a "simple typo", but still leaves some plausible dependability and is usually not an issue for pick-up.
However, at the end of the day it is not really worth being too paranoid and hiding your identity. If you get into the hobby, and start using PayPal it makes it tough. Although, there are still ways to hide from Paypal, the effort is almost not worth it.
They have bigger fish to fry....

Excellent. Those dials are gorgeous.
Vintage is clearly making a come back.

Thanks for sharing!

I`ve had this problem too. They are just plugs, use a sharp blade and try to "pop" them out. I had no problem doing that. Put some Loctite on the edges and put them back in and they will stick.
...
Hmmm, which Loctite, most Loctite I am familiar with relies on thread's and the absence of air. Putting the wrong LT on it will do nothing, and won't the poping them out make the problem worse by potentially widening the holes slightly?
I would think the better solution would be to pop the bezel off and access them from the back side.
So has anyone actually removed the Bezel from one of these?
TIA,

I also love the Black Ice. It was interesting to see the handful of Victorinox SA watches that even made it into the 2009 WatchTime Buyers Guide.
This SA even caught my eye since I also like the Breitling Emergency/Aerospace:
SA also has a wicked 7750 Auto as well:
Enjoy

There are no threads in the holes to screw into. That is what's so weird. It's just a hole and the other screws spin freely in both directions, neither getting tighter or looser. So on mine the other screws I haven't been able to remove so I can secure them. Any thoughts on how to remove them so I can glue them down?
Ditto on my black steel. Since all of the AeroMarine series bezels are essentially the same, I wonder if this applies to them all SOSF, BCE, SA...
I haven't had the time to pop the bezel, since they free-wheel in their holes, I am under the impression they are some sort of decorative 'flare' fit 'captive screw'.
or a 'plug' (think gauged ear piercing)
Random thoughts until someone pulls the bezel.

Gilt 5513 Meters First for Saturday
DL, do you know what case that 5513 is based on? MBW???
TIA,

Bump, great question... I am curious if anyone has detailed information on these style Breitling Bezels, including removal. The screws are decorative to begin with-- are they not?
I look at my Black Steel and wonder if this going to be an issue.
I wonder if the bezels should be pre-emptively removed and the screws cemented from the back side to prevent future issues.
Experts, please chime in.
TIA,

I like it. IF it gets rep'd, I bet we will see a low end quartz version or fantasy version first

+1. I can usually view all new posts since my last visit is a quick efficient manner. The PM system, etc. Honestly, from a forum perspective, RWG has the best forum software and interface of ANY forum I have ever used.
