yodap Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFaster Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share 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!...

GoFaster Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share 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 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFaster Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
