Dammit! I should leave my watches in one piece!

Hi guys i need some help

I removed the movement from my Breitling for Bentley Motors because the movement was loose in the case and there were a lot of particles under the Crystal and on the dial so i thought: Hey let's clean it.

But then something happened to the Top chrono pusher and it broke in half!

Also some kind of split pin came off that got lost ;-(

So what do i do now?

Look for a new caseset? But then the white of the bezel won't match the rest of the dial without removing the chrystal?

Glue the top chrono in place?

Get a new pusher?

If the pusher broke off fairly easily, then I have a feeling it was likely bound to happen sooner or later, regardless of whether you took the watch apart or not.

The easiest answer would be to try and procure a new pusher, or possibly a set of pushers to ensure that they at least match. It may also be a good opportunity to find a better set of pushers if, say the original ones on the watch were not quite as accurate to gen (sometimes the case).

You may want to check with your dealer and see if they can help with parts. Some can... Some can't. Or, maybe someone out there has a dead watch that they would sell for parts?

Sorry to hear about the problem though... I definitely know and understand what you're dealing with

Thanks for the kind words

I was cleaning the inside with a dry clotch and the end of the pusher that stuck out broke right on the point there the split pin normally sits, i suppose this it the weak point.

It was the most expensive case so the pusher is quite accurate i guess.

If someone has a dead watch or something let me know please....
