Back in the good old days when the Dollar had high purchasing power, and on the gold standard.

Your best bet is to go to the 'How to' section and read up on the Zigmeister's tutorials, they will give you all the info you need to care for your watch!

Alright thanks.

It's usually best to get the 7750 serviced, the movement could have been stored anywhere and you don't know whats inside of it, you wouldn't believe the things people have pulled out of their 'new' watches!....

It does sound like your watch doesn't have the best power reserve, unless you don't wear it for long through the day, or you don't move your arm around much?!

A service will remedy it no problems! Then it should be good for at least 3 years if taken care of!

How much money will such a service cost, and how long does it take? BTW the hands started moving again after about 2-3 hours of wearing.

...needs a service...

This watch is very new though, and not worn much yet.

Okay, so it doesn't matter if you turn the crown counterclockwise?

BTW I found that the A7750 stops moving fairly quickly when not wearing it on your wrist. For example if I leave it on a desk for one night, it'll have stopped moving the next day. Is this normal?

Alright, so you should always turn the crown clockwise to set both time and date? I read on a eHow guide to turn the crown counterclockwise for the date.

Does it matter if you accidentally move the crown counter-clockwise?

Also, I heard something about winding up the movement if it stopped for a long time. How does that work? I'd rather just wear it a while so it automatically starts again. How can you avoid to accidentally wind up the movement?

What are the exact rules to set the time and date of a Breitling?

From what I found so far it's:

1. unscrew the crown counter-clockwise.

2. pull it out completely and set the time to 4:30 (recommended before setting date).

3> turn the crown clockwise to set the time.

4. push in the crown one level to set the date.

5. turn the crown counterclockwise to set the date.

6. when finished push the crown all the way back in and turn it clockwise to lock it again.

Tip: move the crown gently.

I find it odd that you must set the time clockwise, but date counterclockwise.

Can someone please confirm that this method is correct?

The next tier would probably include the Chronomat EVO, but I consider it a step below the above reps.

Depends which version you get. They can be as spot on as a super reps.

Two screws on my Bling bracelet are stuck, I tried to unscrew it for many hours, but to no avail. Also used some oil to grease it up. What can be done to get these two tiny screws loose so the link can be removed or is it impossible?

Goes to show how crazy some Rolex fans are to fork out $40k or €31k for a book. I suspect the value of this book could increase over time, because it's a limited edition, based on the regular price of 4000 euros.

But why would you need to walk around with 2 watches?! Do you wear a chrono and a non chrono at the same time?!

They intend this digital watch to be a replacement for cellphones. So then you'd wear that, but leave your second watch at home or wear it on your other wrist, personal choice.

I'm not gonna wear two watches at once, so will choose a quality mechanical watch over this digital device.

9. The "Pussy" Franken - After #8 happens, you head out to the bar with your watch. Some hot blonde with double-D's notices it and says "Frankens make me moist". A couple of martini's and a lot of cash later, you are balls-deep, thanking God that you spent the extra cash to get that Zig lume...

Many won't be able to tell teh difference between a mediocre rep and franken anyway. If you have to spend a lot to get laid, then you're doing something wrong. You can split the bill too in some occasions.

If you pay for stuff to win her heart, she'll like you for what you give her and expect more in the future, not who you are as a person.

It's not trying to replace your watch, it's just another kind of watch with different functions, like chrono, non-chrono!

Right, which brings me again to the point that I don't forsee people walking around with two watches, unless it can really compete with a cellphone/iphone/PDA, which I doubt due to its size.

If you have to replace that watch every few years, you'll end up spending more vs 1 expensive mechanical watch too.

That watch will lose value quickly, because technology advances rapidly. It'll be as outdated as an ipod or cellphone, but a high quality mechanical watch retains value.

Well it looks interesting, but what are we gonna do: wear a sci-fi digital watch, and one classic movement watch on each wrist? That would be weird.

Cool lighting.

First pics with it's younger and bigger sister (they look nice together!):

Or bigger brother.

Nice rolex collection mate.

Looks good, how accurate is this rep?

That ad looks fishy.

I don't see any reason to buy it.

BCE issues sure. Where is the bling though...

It's not only in some BCE versions. Various Breitling rep models have flawed logos.

Many people don't notice potential errors of the Bling logo on the dial. So here's some common errors: left wing is bigger, logo is slightly lopsided, no knot in the B, top part of the B is too small, and sometimes the logo isn't reflective.

Two Examples:

Slightly lopsided logo.

Top part of letter B too small.

Just got this v2. By far it has the best bezel I have seen on a BCE, better fitting, tight and smooth. As you see below, it's a v2 with Asian font. I think this one puts an end on my BCE collection.

Very nice. Do you think the diamonds look gen or convincing enough? Did you get it from Joshua?

Ordering an additional datewheel or broken BCE adds another $100-120 USD plus the time and risk of shipment, and installation by a watchmaker is perhaps another $80 USD. Lots of hassle. I'd rather get a V2 with updated date wheel, just haven't found any trustydealer who sells it.

Also, I can't find the v3 with leather strap. Seems like v2 is the best option. What's your opinion?

Except v2 has wrong date wheel. So that would need to be replaced if you want to make it more gen. The datewheel is hard to acquire, and haven't seen a guide on how to replace it.

The big numbers on the bezel give it a futuristic style. It can be nice if you combine it with a non-numeric dial.

Haven't seen any sale numbers of the gen so don't know how popular it truly is.
