GoFaster Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 Ok guys I have the pix of the Kaliber ! I will upload them now
GoFaster Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 I'm Very very HAPPY it's a Kaliber 12 !!! The Best one in Chrono Matic Models
GoFaster Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 I took the Pics with my Old Fujifilm 1 million pixels only... I have a Sony 9 millions pixels but empty battery... But the result is ok we can see well this very nice Movement !!!!
yodap Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 That's indeed nice! But where's the rotor? I don't see it, but I do see the wording AUTOMATIC... Anyway, congratulations, be happy with it! Greetz.
GoFaster Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) In fact it's a micro rotor under chronos brigde...if I remember well, when you get out the dial you can see it.....it is a very little Rotor...but this Movement can have the Automatic Name ! Ah yes, and you move the watch you can hear the rotor running Edited November 25, 2009 by GoFaster
hackR Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 yes...you have to remove one of the upper bridges to see the micro rotor... man...that's a beautiful movement... do the chronos all work and reset fine...have you timed this watch - even with a computer clock?... shame on the chrono hands (especially the 3 o'clock subdial one - looks pretty worn or it was put on scratched or something...odd as the rest of the dial looks fine...the lume is cracking off - but that's to be expected for a 20 year old watch... nice!... R-
GoFaster Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 No Rob...30 years old But really for a Vintage watch 30 years old it is very clean !!! Only Hands are a little used but the rest of the watch is very clean !!! The movement is Perfect...clean and work perfectly Rob I worn it a complet day and works perfectly !!!
GoFaster Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Hello all, I received a mail from a guy who wants give me an Omega Mark IV ss in trade to the Breitling...what do you think ?
andreww Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Well, look at the value of your watch first. I saw a pristine example of it on ebay going for about $2600. Yours has the incorrect chrono hands, and the pointer hands aren't in too good shape either, but I'd wouldn't value it at anything less than $16-$1800. I just did a quick ebay search and found this Mark IV for $1200... Of course, you can talk about the value of vintage watches until you are blue in the face, until you have an actual buyer its all subjective.
GoFaster Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Thank You Andreww for your post and help ! Yep you right, I've seen Mark IV on the bay for 1000 or 1200$... Now on mine a good visit to a watchmaker would be good...I asked today to a friend swiss watchmaker and told me that it was very easy to repair these problems and as You told me that this chrono-matic cost around 1500-1800$ minimum... I don't think now this Omega would be a good deal... if it was a more recent Speedmaster, why not ! I really don't know what to do with this Breit'... I need cash to buy a New Watch ! But don't want let it for nothing ! I wear it from yesterday and it runs perfectly...I have adjusted it on a Guess Quartz and for the moment it has lost nothing... so a good point!
andreww Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 If your watchmaker says its an easy repair, then I'd do that. Really not sure that he would be able to source gen hands for it though. My advice to you would be to decide what you are looking for, then seek out a fair trade. There might even be some guys that would trade a few nice reps for it.
GoFaster Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Yes Andreww, my watchmaker told that to me... I don't know where he will find the Complet Hands but maybe Breitling have always Vintage parts in stock... as Rolex In first I would sell it for Cash and after if it's not sold, I will maybe envisage a Rep' deal... must see I would like buy a Gen Rolex Sub ...but expensive
GoFaster Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Posted November 28, 2009 Hello, some news about my Chrono-matic deal and Need Help ! A guy propose me a trade and has few Watches: and he has a Tudor Sub Snowflake (I'm waiting for pics) Zenith Elprimero 1972 diving model chrono Gold omega 27 (don't know this one...will look on the web) I'm very interested in the Tudor Snowflake
