  1. I usually try to stay out of these discussions, but consider this:

    If there was a ban on clips holding more than x rounds, would all the criminals throw their hands up in the air and bemoan their large capacity clips? No.

    If there was a law banning guns on school grounds, would that stop a psychopath from taking a gun to an elementary school? No.

    It's not a gun problem.

    Society is broken. It's full of broken people. One of the consequences is these heinous acts.

    Fix the broken people, and there won't be anyone left that needs to kill a classroom full of children.

    I think the Boy Scouts is a good place to start. Teach character, ethics, duty, responsibility, and teach them to value other people. Then watch them teach their friends. It can be contagious.

    There's step #1 of the Nanuq Solution.

     

    Well said !!!!

  2. That sucks. However, might be a good opportunity to pop the crystal out completely and have new AR done. Then get it reassembled. Nothing to lose now :)

    That's actually a good idea :) This way you will have an improvement over the old crystal and you will feel better about it.

  3. I was about to order one. Where did you order from, so I know not to buy from them?

    It's not the dealers fault. The 6.75 uses a Modified A7750 which in my opinion is a micky mouse movm and they are prone of having problems. Especially with the Date Wheels changing over via Crown...Other than that it's a beautiful watch. I personally had the Gen and now have a rep with the Black Dial which I had it serviced not to long ago.

  4. I have a question about the SS Bracelet for my Navitimer (A13322). This watch was purchased years ago with the leather band but now I would like to add the SS bracelet. Does anyone know which one I need. I tried calling Bretiling and they told me it is no longer made and would need to find a used one but they wouldn't tell me which one!?!?

    Any help would be great.

    Thank you.

    I have one. Pm me if you are still interested .....

  5. Nothing is "impossible" to get, but some parts are a LOT harder than others. Sometimes it's all about being in the right place at the right time. Hands are very rare. Pushers are also hard to get. My SA has everything exterior GEN except for the caseback. But it took the help of a very secretive source to get some of the parts. If you swap the Bezel, Dial and datewheel, you'll be happier than a pig in sh-t. My Hyper Franken was taken to a level that I haven't seen anywhere yet. Once I get this GEN movement installed, it is done. But I would never do this again. Frankly, at some points you're just better off buying a GEN. For me, a lot of it is the satisfaction of the hunt ! Any jerkoff can go buy a GEN, but when you assemble a great Franken, there's a personal satisfaction that comes with it. :)

    BMW760, there is no way to get a Gen Caseback since every caseback that comes from Breitling is engraved with that watch's serial numbers. Everything else is hard but possible. I could get the Hands if anyone is interested ;)

  6. The Rep strap feels like a piece of wood and is nothing more than plastic. Bob straps on the other hand are great but you still have to work with the Depl issue. I have a Gen Croco Strap on my Gen 6.75 and once it breaks in it's the best strap you will ever get. The problem is the cost of it :)

  7. In my opinion..... The SA rep Pro II is too thin and "dainty" compared to the gen. The skyland rep though looks like it might not have that problem. But the SA is a not only a dead giveaway, but just looks "wrong" even without making a comparison. I think I sold my rep pro II for $50 and then paid about $390 for my gen pro II for the SA... and I haven't looked back.

    + 1 !! Rep feels like aluminum foil vs the gen. The SA is a very big and very heavy watch therefore you need something thiker than tin foil to hold it on your wrist IMO ....
