Jonny P Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hello all, I'm very new here. I'm having some problems with a Breitling Bentley GT that I bought. It's from Ruby (I don't know if you know her or not). I have 2 issues. 1. Once I unscrew the pins, I can't get the pins out to take out the links. It seems to be locked or something but I don't know what to do. 2. The bezel has come loose and spins very easily. There are 4 tiny tiny screws around the bezel and I don't know if they have anything to do with it. Any feedback would be great. I have attached a picture of the watch below. Thanks so much!

flavor flav Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 the pins are attached to the links. just pull them apart once unscrewed. the bezel can be tightened with the set screws.Hello all, I'm very new here.

Great!! Thanks so much!! About the bezel. One side seems to be tight (flush to the watch) the other side, there is a space between the watch and the bezel which makes me think something is wrong. Do I need to buy a tiny tiny screwdrive and unscrew them? Then rescrew them? What happens if I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were stuck in there pretty much permanently. I took the movement out and tried to figure out a way to tighten down the bezel, but didn't have time to figure it out. Anyone have any experience with this? Are all GT's experiencing the loose bezel problem? Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it from TWG - he has offered to get it fixed/replace it so I'm happy about that. The only issue for me is whether this is endemic to the design and if the new one will come with the same issue. Z no pics of the problem right now, maybe later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxse Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I also just got my GT from Ruby. The bezel turns pretty easily. Is it supposed to turn or click because mine just turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z to tighten the bezel, you must first remove the movement pop the crystal out then remove the center bezel remove the tachymeter ring. under here you will see three screws that hold on the bezel (maybe two, i cant remember it's been awhile). unscrew these and remove the bezel holder ring. clean these parts and the case surface where the bezel rotates very good. apply light silicone grease on the holder and bezel. reassemble the bezel holder and tighten the screws a little at a time untill it turns with the correct feel. reinstall the tachymeter ring, crystal, and inner bezel insert, replace the movement into the case and you have a perfect bezel.
