Have you tried The Zigmeister yet?

Thanks - but I was hoping someone in UK (to save double customs problems.)

I am in the UK. Can anyone suggest where I can get my Portuguese fixed with graphite?

Many thanks

I guess that's a "no" then

Hi there, just for info Tom froze my portugese! (sounds painful) !!! but now the watch works perfectly and keeps great time . Seconds froze at 12 dont really miss it at all.

Thank you for taking the trouble to help

You might want to check if Tom can do it: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=77083

Thanks for the info. I've just sent him a pm.

Good news that the first one is still working,

I am in the UK. Can anyone suggest where I can get my Portuguese fixed with graphite?

Many thanks

I'm in the UK and have a Portuguese that keeps stopping. It has been repaired before but still keeps stopping.

I know there is a "fix" for this seconds @ 6 movement requiring graphite.

Is there anyone who can do this for me (in UK or EU)?

I have done a search and also asked freddy333 - he advised me to put a message on here.

Many thanks

the rose gold and brown is a stunning combo!

How about this one:

@Falconetti

Here it is:

Proper markings, including side YCM logo, correct solid caseback and matte ceramic bezel...

Thanks

Gosh - were you really married in April, 1919? Congrats!

Gen has display back.

If you want solid caseback good HBB get yourself a RG/Ceramic YCM HBB. It is really perfect.

Pardon my ignorance here, but where would I find a "RG/Ceramic YCM HBB"?

(Don't suppose you have a link)

Thanks very muchly!

The rep is slightly brighter red...

Nope.. the Chronomatic has the crown on the left side, but it functions as a regular crown. In this case it's a HEV of some sort.

On the genuine it is not a HEV. There is a cog mechanism inside this which rotates the inner bezel when the outer bezel is turned (It shows it in the book I acquired from an AD

Officially:

"...the variable tachometer is controlled by rotating the outer bezel, which drives a pinion and an arbor activating the inner bezel..."

Thanks for the info

24mm

I measured my GT - it is 22mm.

Come on guys.... ever heard of Ebay?

If you look hard you can find a strap and clasp for +- USD 1340,-~140,-

WOW - $1,340!

Definitely outta my league

Cheers Rolexman - I'll give ebay a try.

Contacted Breitling UK about a steel bracelet for a Steelfish X plus 44mm

They replied quite quickly, and quoted £270 retail from any AD

Might be worth a try as Iwould have thought a leather/deployment

would have been cheaper given that any steel braclet model is usually more expensive than the

equivelant strap version.

Hope this helps

The AD I went in to had to phone Breitling UK to get the price for me - £420! I might try them direct myself now - see if they quote me cheaper.

Cheers.

Buy a genuine clasp and strap.... all the other straps and clasps are crap!

Went to an AD last week to get price for gen strap and deployant - £420. Too rich for me.

I'm after a nice quality deployant clasp for a new strap I'm getting for my Breitling for Bently GT.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

CHEERS!

Is this one a good copy:

Really nice collection. Best of the best.......and you haven't succumbed to the Pam craze.

Just the one

I would like to see more pics!

Cheers

Jon

OK then:

I would like to see more pics!

Nice collection. How do you like the DJ 14k?

Cheers

Jon

It really looks the business - excellent quality. I don't think it's gonna get much wrist time ("suit-type" watch) and no room in the box so it's gonna have to go I'm afraid

Needless to say...I love your collection.

Which gets the most wrist time?

I'm wearing the PO at present, Bentley GT yesterday, Tag day before (most recently received watches).

They ALL get a fair share - wouldn't want any arguing in the box now, would I?

Nice collection.. You also have a nice selection of different mfgs.

Thanks. (They may all be from the same manufacturer tho' )

Here's my latest collection. I don't have room for 3 of them so they don't get much wrist time. Guess I'll have to let them go
