Tag Heuer have come along way in their time, and todays standards of their watches is on par with many more of top bunch of brands. I feel though that Tags reputation maybe blinkered by many who first spotted the early TAG's, and wrote them off thinking they were below par, but how wrong they are. I love the TAG brand personally.

Shameless.

No, Im not nuts, but what is nuts is someone having to wait a year for their second package of a two package purchase of parts which are available.

Give it a few more days. Who's the TD?

Very cool indeed, and great result of researching

In your case, it is somewhat worrying to say the least, and I would of though TC would of been right onto you after I emailed him pointing him to this here thread, but alas, not. If anyone has Thomas's phone number, PM it to the OP please, this needs sorting out asap.

Cheers for the reference photos/diagram Bone & Freddy, very helpful

Holy crap! Thats amazing. I made sure I read everything you wrote before scrolling down to view your photos, (note to newbies to do the same;) ). Where did you find that valuable info about the cross reference parts fitting? Omegaforums? Looks outstanding my friend. Great job!

Thats a first for me, not seen this before. Sorry I cannot help any though. What is the charge cost, do you know?

Not fair

Breitling for Bentley celebrates ten years on the road with three new chronographs equipped with in-house motors British chic, Swiss excellence: the Breitling for Bentley collection has asserted a new art of living. It now welcomes three exceptional mechanisms equipped with Manufacture Breitling movements entirely developed and produced in-house. The Bentley B06 is distinguished by its exclusive “30-second chronograph” system; while the Bentley B04 GMT and Bentley B05 Unitime models will appeal to world travellers and citizens thanks to ultra-practical dual timezone and worldtime mechanisms. Three new expressions of a world apart combining luxury and accomplishment, performance and prestige. 2003 was not only the year Bentley made its big comeback on the track of the Le Mans 24 Hours race by winning the two top spots right off the bat. It also marked the start of the beautiful Breitling for Bentley adventure, a collection born from a cross between the grand art of British carmaking and the fine Swiss watchmaking tradition. Ten years later, this rich family of chronographs has won over the planet through its unique blend of elegance and performance, power and style, sportiness and refinement. Breitling now takes it to a new level by equipping it with three movements entirely designed and developed in the Breitling Chronométrie workshops with all the expertise of the chronograph and technical watch specialist. Three in-house engines combining peerless performance with innovative and user-friendly functions. These selfwinding chronograph B04, B05 and B06 calibres are endowed with a column wheel, a vertical coupling clutch and an over 70-hour power reserve. Like all Breitling for Bentley movements, they are chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), the highest benchmark in terms of precision and reliability, and the only one based on an international standard. Bentley B06: a highly exclusive chronograph A perfect emblem of the Breitling for Bentley spirit, the new Bentley B06 chronograph weds sophisticated aesthetics with Manufacture Breitling Calibre B06. It is distinguished by its ingenious “30-second chronograph” system, inspired by a Breitling patent dating from 1926 and based on a central hand sweeping around the dial in half a minute – thereby ensuring extremely accurate 1/8th second time readings. Another world-exclusive feature is the “variable tachometer” with a rotating bezel serving to calculate average speed whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached – contrary to standard tachometers that measure only times of less than 60 seconds. The knurled motif on the bezel, a nod to the famous Bentley radiator grilles, is picked up in the openworked dial revealing glimpses of the high-performance engine. This decidedly original approach continues on the reverse side of the watch that is fitted with a transparent caseback revealing a spectacular 360° sculpted oscillating weight evoking the shape of a wheel rim. The Bentley B06 is available in steel or red gold, along with a choice of a bracelet or a crocodile leather or rubber strap adorned with a central raised motif matching that on the bezel. Bentley B04 GMT: keeping time with meridians A watch for businessmen as well as all those with a taste for accomplishments who live and communicate across all longitudes, the new Bentley B04 GMT stands out for its extremely functional dual timezone system, combined with a high-performance selfwinding chronograph. Beneath the radiator grille of its finely openworked black or silver dial beats a Manufacture Breitling movement developed with all the skill and knowledge lavished on the finest engines and officially chronometer-certified by the COSC. To adjust the main hour hand to local time, the user can simply pull out the crown and turn it in either direction in one-hour increments. This is achieved without any loss of precision in terms of the minutes, and with automatic forward and backward date adjustment. Meanwhile, the red-tipped hand continues to show home time in 24-hour mode, thus enabling the user to distinguish between day and night. The Bentley B04 GMT expresses its powerful aesthetic in steel or red gold models, complete with a transparent caseback revealing a sculpted wheel rim-shaped oscillating weight. Bentley B05 Unitime: worldwide horizons For those who view travel as an art of living, Breitling for Bentley has created the Bentley B05 Unitime, a worldtime chronograph powered by an innovative Manufacture Breitling movement with a patented mechanism. Thanks to its double-disc system, this instrument boasting unprecedented user friendliness enables instant reading at any given moment of the time in all 24 timezones. Upon changing timezone, simply turning the crown forward or backward in one-hour increments enables the user to correct all indications in one smooth gesture, with the date automatically adjusted to local time. The 24-city bezel comprises indications serving to take account of “summer” or Daylight Saving Time (DST). The black or matt white dial is adorned with an artistically sculpted globe accentuating the travel theme. The high-performance chronograph movement, chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), measures feats accomplished the world over. It is driven by a highly original oscillating weight shaped like a wheel rim and visible through the transparent caseback. Available in steel as well as in red gold, the new Bentley B05 Unitime is fitted with a bracelet or with a rubber or crocodile leather strap.

Still not received mine yet, or my IWC come to think of it

I was under the impression the those dots under the coronet were reference to the metal/s used in construction.

Welcome to the forums

Wow, very nice indeed. Just got this photo of the 50th Anniversary of Jack's via twitter

Interesting. Who did this for you? And is your Daytona with working Chronograph?

I knew about Skype taking over as I read about it a while back, but just out of curiosity I just fired up my msn messenger on my Mac, and it still works.

Ok, I got another email from Thomas about the V5 project, so replied, and mentioned you, and directed him to this thread

Thomas is American, and is from California, and works with his contacts in China.

Both flaws/issues are relativity easy fixes with the right tools, and experience, the rotor is a simple can of either repainting the enter rotor, or touch up with model paint.

Seems strange that, I had an email reply from him today. It did take him a week to reply. He is super busy, and he can miss emails quite easily, so I would recommend you email him again my friend. PM sent

Thanks for sharing

Congrats, as soon as my wallet allows me I will be contributing. The watch tools, and equipment investment has been keeping my wallet empty for a while, hence no new reps in two months:(

Welcome to the forums. Yes, a 7750 with sec@6 can be problematic, but you may get lucky. As to answer your question about the readings, search the forum for "timegrapher".

That looks like a non-ceramic model, which in theory is an older model TT sub, which with gold dial lettering, the date wheel should be champaign, not white. Thats my understanding anyways. As to the Glidelock, sadly this is a known, common issue my friend, its a bit his and miss whether or nor one works as intended.
