That is a sweet piece. I hope the deal works out for you. Way back when I first got into watches the speedy was my number one fav. Since getting into the rep world none can do it justice so it has not even made my list. Perhaps one day I will get a gen. Looking forward to an indepth review...
Nope. Mine looks like this
Also, when the little window popped up to insert the image I could not see any text at all on it. I just pasted in the link, hit enter and crossed my fingers. Maybe some Java update required?
It is if you can get a new one. Just have to CAREFULLY pry out the old one, clean up the mating surface and glue on a new one. I am not sure if the gen fits though. Same as above about bezel assy, if you contact one of the dealers they may be able to get one for you.
@JimmyT
Just now saw the image of your watch. It is a V1 so it may be difficult to get parts for it.
Sounds like the spring inside the bezel that creates the tension and the 'clicks' is loosening off. The only way to address it is to remove the bezel and reshape the spring to improve tension. Unfortunately I have heard that attempts to remove the SOH bezel cause it to become so badly damaged that you cannot fix/re-install it.
One possibility would be to ask a dealer if they can get you a new bezel and then install that after removing the old one.
Looks good. Thanks for all the hard work. Now I just have to figure out how to use all this new stuff
I am having the same problem as deltatahoe...no next page button.
I think there are for sure...as mentioned breitling has a few

Also, while maybe not lust worthy this has been my daily beater for the last 11 years and has done so with flying colours
That looks fantastic! Great work gents. How much disassembly was required? For example, did you have to remove the pearl from the bezel? How about the bezel itself, did that come off too?
Wear it well.
Welcome from another ontarian. Great place to call home for any watch lover...rep or otherwise.
For beginners guide see Toadtorrents post HERE. It's a great start and will lead you to other learning.
