  1. How do I get a hold of Kenny? I am located in southern California.
  2. I would like to have them repaired, but I don't know who can repair them for me? Any suggestions?
  3. Is it possible to get these fixed? If so, how much would I be looking at and who could help me? 1.) Omega: Crown has physically separated before and no longer changes the time Clasp is missing a pin and does’t stay connected. I have an extra pin, but it does’t stay in. A permanent fix would be ideal. Sapphire crystal is scratched & needs to be replaced. Bezel needs to be replaced. I have the bezel, so I suppose someone that knew what they were doing could swap it. 2.) Breitling Seawolf V2: I washed my hands with the watch on when the crown was unscrewed. Condensation built up and messed up the lume. Needs relume job Movement needs to be inspected for water damage. 3.) Breitling Skyland V2: Needs relume job Movement inspected and serviced
  4. i really want one of these but i cant stand the recessed date wheel,
  5. omg, why would you even think of selling that? that would have been treason! it's gorgeous! how much do you want for it? haha
  6. The only reason I'm including the first shot is because it's pretty: Second shot shows fitment of gen pro 2 bracelet. I had to keep the rep part that connects directly to the watch case because the gen parts that it came with were for a different ling and they were a bit curved. The rep part that serves as the intermediate between the case and the bracelet fits perfect and is completely unnoticeable. Here are some shots of how the bracelet fits. I need to adjust the bracelet a little still but immediately the bracelet seems to weigh about 20% more than the rep. In the third image, the gen is on the left and the rep is on the right in both the top and bottom pictures. I apologize for the wear and tear on the rep. As you can tell, all engravings appear more crisp and the breitling stamp doesn't seem as "pushed in" on the genuine. On the rep clasp the part where it says Breitling 1884 is literally pushed in a little bit but on the rep the stamping is much more clear. It's also important to note that even the gen clasp feels as though it should not be twisted in such a way that it would be stress on it at awkward angles when it is open. Also, the push pin (where one would adjust the tightness of the clasp) sits perfectly flush in the holes where as the rep does not. All cuts, corners and angles of the gen seem to be machined with greater attention to detail. The closing thingy on the clasp itself (on the gen) is flat where as on the rep it seems to take the overall curved shape of the rest of the clasp. Lastly, gen is on top and on the left. Again, the attention to detail on the gen is noticeable.
  7. Hey Ben, I paid a cool 321 for mine. It is pre owned but in great condition.
  8. I ordered a gen pro 2 bracelet (22mm) from the bay and I'm really hoping that I have fitment issues. If I have fitment issues, I'll probably just end up getting a gen wolf or something lol.
  9. Will a Gen Pro 2 Breitling bracelet fit the Rep V2 Seawolf Avenger?
  10. I would love to have the time to repair my own watches but unfortunately, due to my school schedule, I definitely don't have the time for that.
  11. What's wrong with the Omega: Crystal is scratched, pearl is off centered and the crown literally came out when I tried to set the time. I put it back in and I can change the date, but I can no longer adjust the time. What's wrong with the Brietling: The little pin that connects the clasp came out and was lost. I would like to get all of the problems fixed. For the Omega I have an extra ceramic insert which includes a better pearl that Andrew gave to me. I suppose I'll need a crystal for that but I don't know where to get a crystal. Who around these parts can fix these for me? I'll pay all shipping and all of the necessary fees.
  12. I really like the new bracelet and the pearl is really nice too but I prefer the original font for the numbers though.
  13. Looks good but the lume dots at 4,10 and 11 might be off centered by just a tad. Also, ensure that he sends you a QC photo of the clasp when it's closed so you can see the fitment of the little part that closes over the claspy thingy...
  14. I have a V2 and it's been a nice rep. I got rid of the blingly pro 2 bracelet and put on a crocostrap so as to reproduce the gentlemenesq appearance.
  15. Jkay, I've told you before that I love you, right? I hope you don't mind!
  16. So right now it seems I have two options: 1.) Contact a trusted dealer and ask them if they can sell me just a replacement crystal (rep). 2.) Contact an AD or reputuble watch parts person and see if they can source me a gen crystal. I'll try both =] Thanks a lot for the input guys.
  17. sgtguk, I can't help but notice your mesh bracelet. is that a rep mesh bracelet? if so, how close is the rep mesh to genuine? does it feel crappy or no?
  18. My PO is the ceramic version but I don't have a source for a genuine crystal.
