no thats not it..., the obvious mistake with this is the location of the crown.
i suppose if you want to be picly then the date is also wrong, but other than that its pretty good IMHO. one of the few autavia reps that have a working chono as well
no need to apologies, i'll still sleep well
sorry im a bit late to the party, but better late than never
managed to take a half decent photo of a few of my watches, so i give you the TAG HEUER Autavia...
Spot the obvious mistake....
hello all
i've had this Breitling for a while now and thought it could do with a make over. nothing too drastic i just want to replace the face/dial with something more upto date / accurate
its a huge 49mm across (without crown) and the chrono dials work, thus:
10th /sec @ 12
seconds @ 6
minutes @ 9
sorry about the library picture, (mine is exactly the same) my camera is rubish but it gives me an exuse to go buy a new one
so, any of you have any recommendations or ideas as to what i could replace the current dial with? and places i could get it
what i'd like to do eventually is take off the UTC dial (will probably go onto another Breitling) and put a nice chuncky strap on it.
i've just seen this thread http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=2260 and seen italiano17771 super avenger, that is the stage i'd like to get to, thats just stunning!
any help will always be welcomed
thanks

Thank you all you wonderful, wonderful people!
Haywood, you are a star, thanks! that link will give me a place to start, which is all i was after in the fisrt place
Mucrewbtp, thanks for the offer! its much appreciated. as you're in the US i'll give it a miss but if i het stuck i may well give you a shout for sure!
Teejay, good call, i'll give that site a quick once over
fxr Andy, thanks for helping me narrow it down a bit
once agian, thanks a bunch people !!!
Thanks very much for your input
so what you're basically saying is, "bin it, is a useless piece of tat" just out of interest is there a name for this movement? (apart from POS etc etc )
the actuall watch is about 6 years old and was a daily wearer until it stopped, but i didn't want to throw it away as i thought i could do something with it.
so, what could/should i do if i don't want to persue trying to fix it, as you say its a low end asian movement. could i use another movement? if so whats the recommended one? if not, anybody want to buy a SS strap and casing??? :lol:
thanks again

thanks for you feedback guys, its much appreciated. any critizism can only be a good thing, right?!
allow me to answer/reply to each of you:
thanks for the reply, and yes, i did ask for it! but there's no harm, as i said in my post im really getting into the whole modding scene so no worries. i didn't pay to much and its not the only reps i have. i was given these by someone who didn't want them and in total i was given one of these:
and one of these :
both of which im going to eventually "mod" as and when
and the grand total i paid for them was
hello all!
took some [very amature-ish] photos of my submariner, thought i would ask what you guys thought of it.
after doing a liitle research to find out how close this was to a real sub, all i've managed to work out is:
1. The 'm' on the end of the line : 1000ft = 300m dosn't align with the 'm' in the word 'chronometer' below 2. there isn't a small rolex logo etched below the 6 mark
thats the only flaws i could see, but im sure there are poeple who could point out a few more. i've not opened the back so don't know too much abou the movment, but im planning to buy some basic tools.
i've become really interested in replicas and the whole modding scene so im gonna used this as my first "project"
anythy thoughts would be very welocomed!
