Strap Culture, thanks I'll check it out.
That's a nice collection you have there.
Mine is building slowly and a 196 is a must.
I have some watches I don't wear very often as they have fallen out of favour but I can't bring myself to selling.
Sometimes I see something in a wristy or a new owner proudly showing off their new piece and I'm captivated again
by what was just sitting collecting dust.
My favour is fickle I guess.
Thanks again for the reply.
Are you talking about the rehaut perhaps? The rehaut is attached to the dial under the crystal.
This is a different issue from the bezel.
The rehaut on the SOSF can be out of alignment and the only way to correct it is to remove the rehaut from the dial.
Relocate it and then reinstal the dial.
I prefer the stick markers on Breity's.
Can't really explain why. Maybe because I think Breitlings have a toughness and elegance at the same time and stick markers
seem to be more consistent with that feel.
The dial has a better balance of composition.
Oh, I don't know, they just look better.
Glad to have you back Ziggy.
Thanks for a great read.
I'm sure if you went to that school in France they would learn lots from you.
Their loss, our gain.
Fell out of love; I do this all the time with my watches.
Main reason why I chose reps, if I had one or two gens they would probably just sit in the box after a while.
Gotta have variety but it's hard to imagine losing too much interest in that one Bazz.
Now where's that watch box?
Travel, one of the great pleasures in life.
Thanks for letting us share in yours Ziggy and look forward to the next time you find a computer.
Cheers,
Paul
Love your work Toad.
Funny thing about the Skyland is I had had to have one, bought two, and now I rarely wear them.
Just too top heavy, but just love looking at that dial.
Awesome work Ziggy.
I've got a PAM coming your way soon and I'm really looking forward to the transformation.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: without Ziggy to work on my watches, I wouldn't be interested.
Enjoy the trip and stay safe, looking forward to the holiday pics.
Cheers
I have the blue and the slate, although I thought that two in slate had been delivered.
It wasn't until I had removed the plastic and moved into more light that I realised that one of them was indeed, blue.
It isn't like the other Breity blue dials, this is much better.
Love the pics, thanks for posting.
The previous 212 was made by a different factory than the 253.
The new model 212 I thought was made by the same factory but having seen your photo I'm not so sure.
If they are from two different factories there may be issues with a transplant.
There is but one way to find out.
