What a brilliant insight into why Breitling services cost what they do! Considering how many people are involved. My Evo is due for service this year, would love to follow it to the service centre and watch it be serviced even if it was for 2 weeks. Thanks for posting the link.

Item 140225440028 on the bay, stickered rotor if Im not mistaken. Lets report.

Hi, I got my gen Breitling evo from tagwatchesdirect as they supply an authourised dealer warranty. aatime is in house warranty. Check out all the options first, it took me months to decide who to buy from.

Looking at the watches makes me think of formula one cars, must be the engineered look they have. Very nice.

I like it, non standard watches are always nice to see. After all variety is the spice of life, or so I tell my girlfriend.

I don't know what movements are used in those reps, but here is an example of an ETA 2824-2. If your date is not rolling over at midnight, there is probably something wrong with the wheel. See RED arrow. That gear is driven by the hour wheel and is spring loaded to snap the date disc forward. It could be slipping, or damaged.

As for the other problem of the date not being able to be advanced manually, See BLUE arrow. That gear, when engaged advances the date disc manually. So two things come to mind.

1.) are you turning the crown the right way when trying to advance the date? Depending on the movement, you may have to turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise.

2.) Maybe the wheel is missing.

Thanks for a detailed answer, I also have no tools and as the watch is on a winder I dont think it will affect me unless it powers down.

Time to book your russian visa's gents.

I also have a similar issue with a brand new YM, mine changes fine at midnight but wont allow me to change it manually. I wonder if its a batch issue.

Add me to the list, please ken.

The only major flaw in the big bangs that you cant correct is the way the rotor attaches to the movement, on the reps its teeth on the gens its like a key system. Type in 'Identifying a Hublot Replica' into google and the last picture shows what I m on about, nice of them to show us what to aim for. You are definatly better off with the ceramic bezel if you want it as close to gen as pos, the pvd is nice but is not as reflective as it should be.

Indeed, a few more from the north west and we could have a GTG.

Do you mean the ratings tab ?

Indeed thanks all and to the person who donated the memberships, very kind. I m now going to have to buy more watches as way of showing my gratitude. I may even get around to taking a picture if I can ever get one in focus.

I really like the HBB, but i have a smaller wrist (16cm/6.3inch) so i think that the 44mm will look silly on my wrist. I've been looking for a replica of the 41mm HBB, but most people on this RWG claims that there is no copy of the smaller HBB.

The Apprentice collector "watchmark" describes the case diameter of the HBB as 41mm both on this forum (http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=57784) and on his web site (http://www.timesshop.net/Hublot_Big_Band_PVD_Aisa_7750_680.htm).

I sent him a question and he confirmed the size:

Can anyone confirm the size of this watch?

Hi

I ve got 6 inch wrists as I m skinny but I wear my Big bang and EoDs with no problem, they look all the more impressive for my lack of girth.

But its what you feel comfortable with I guess.

To me I ve found a family, big bro's and sisters to help keep me out of trouble and quide me on my way. Also a massive wealth of opinions and tastes that help me develop as a collector of watches.

Looks Good, much better than stickers. I d certainly pay for this mod on my BB.

It looks the same as the clasp for my gen evo, but yours seems to be deeper engraved than mine.

I d love to see decent Breitling for bentley Mark VI watches, also if the technology to rep a urwerk 201 or a harry winston opus 6 was available I d buy them.

Thanks all for a sound welcome your all dead boss and that, cheers for the pictures too.

Hello all, Sorry if its a stupid question but what is the difference in the two manufacturers i.e. MBW and MBK. MBW is marie s best watch correct?, is there a difference in quality between the two. Thanks for your help.

Hello my friend... True-red Pool fan? Enjoy your time here...

Great goal from El Nino yesterday, eh?

Indeed You ve got to love sami too, people keep writing him off anfield legend.

In the words of Dr. nick riviera, Hi everybody. Great to be here and look forward to some good watches.
