wimpie007 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I bought a code yellow case without hands and this is what it turned out to be a Fantasy Breitling Something ;-) This watch was doomed cause: Code yellow hands unavailable Watch was/isnt keeping good time Has tiny scratches on the AR ;-( Tube of chrono hand broke Parts: Code Yellow Case+Dial Tachyring of a regular Skyland (white numerals) Chrono hands of a regular Skyland(white) Regular Skyland hands(white) Large Chrono of a Super Avenger (Thanks a lot Ocram!) Bracelet from a Seawolf I Brushed the top of the case what a [censored] to do and needs some more work Pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Wimpy i'm not a Breitling fan but imo you created a good looking watch. Wear it well. Carpe Diem Cats Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Not being a Breitling expert, what does the code yellow look like? Would love to see a before and after comparison. That being said, that is a pretty nice looking watch you've built there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexman Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hmmm .. a weird creature you have there. Good job on fixing it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think 99.5% of people will never notice the hands issue. You have done very well and made a total loss watch into a daily wear piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think 99.5% of people will never notice the hands issue. You have done very well and made a total loss watch into a daily wear piece. I would wager closer to 99.9995% Good job that! It's better to bring a watch back to life than leave it dead in a drawer That is the truth right there. Better to be functional and enjoyed.

hackR Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 @Ray...looks great...creative use of parts to make a sharp looking watch... i completely brushed one of my v2 skylands (case and bracelet) and the look is so much less blingy, but still sporty...i still have blingy breitlings - but don't need a squad of them... well done and wear it well... fyi - found that the rehaut on the code yellow is so faintly yellow, that its tough to see anyways... stay tuned for a future set of pix...i just transplated my "swiss made" code yellow into a v2 case...added a gen DP stray/buckle...it works well...so much better...
