plaifender Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hey guys, Had an Asian breitling bentley die on me. Not wanting to fix it.. since it's just a cheap asian movement. The movement is one of these faux chronos that moves the subdials around with each click of the chrono buttuon. It's for a friend and he'd like to maintain the "faux chrono" function if possible. Anybody know which movement those are with the faux chronos? If not, does anyone know if a standard DG2813 will fit even though we'd lose the fake chrono function? The date is between 4o'clock and 5 o'clock on this watch, but i'm assuming that's not an issue. If pictures are needed.. I can post some later. Thanks in advance, Fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szvwj Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Pictures of the movement would help a LOT. You may be able to pick up a replacement movement for very cheap. Post several pictures of the movement and maybe it can be identified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Cheap Daytonas have the Day/Date/24 hour subdials, but I'm not sure if they have a date function... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudemeister Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Take a look at Ofrei. They have many movements that have such functions: Otto Frei Chinese movements Not knowing what exactly was configuration your Bentley had, I can't tell you which one to use, but here are a fewe examples: DG3806EB-3D Ligne size: 11.5 (26.00 x 5.87 mm). Thickness: 5.87 mm. Function: big minute, (date at 3, 4.5, 6); 3 eyes (hour at 12, small second at 6, 24 hour & moon at 9). (the moon is simply a 24 hour counter) MT-DG3806PB Ligne size: 11.5 (26.00 x 5.87 mm). Thickness: 5.87 mm. Function: hour, minute; (date at 3, 4, 4.5, 6); 2 eyes (small second at 6, 24 hour & moon at 9). Hand sizes 1.00/1.50/.16x2 MT-HZ2393 Ligne size: 12.5 (28.00 x 6.45 mm). Thickness: 6.45 mm. Function: hour, minute, sweep; date at 3, 3 eyes (day at 3, month at 4.5, 24 hour at 6). Hand sizes .90/1.50/.25 There are many others, just take a look at all the configurations. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Awesome Dude, I've been sooo busy i haven't had time to take pics of the actual watch or movement.. but this is what it looks like: The chrono buttons simply move the hands around in the subdials.. completely non-functional. Any one of those movements you listed look like it could possibly fit here? I had already looked at ofrei.. but with so many configs I just get confused!!!!

szvwj Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) I wish I could tell by seeing the front of the watch, but I (personally) would need to see pictures of the movement. Edited June 6, 2010 by szvwj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll down the page and look at this model: MT-DG3836-4D Movement Diameter: 26.00 mm. Thickness: 6.22 mm. Function: hour, minute, sweep; with 3 eyes, date at 4.5, month at 3, 24hr at 6, and day at 9. Looks like it has the exact functions you need. The only concern would be the spacing, but I think it should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
