LordRasta Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 As Chieftang's loyal unpaid assistant Please note the following if you wish double AR on your Breitling. If the pearl and rider tabs can be removed, ala the BCE, remove them and store them yourself. The crystal can be popped out with the bezel intact as long as the tabs are removed. If the tabs do not come off, ala Skyland, SA, have the bezel removed BEFORE shipping the watch. FYI, The Zigmeister does not want to remove the bezels either so don't bother asking him. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your understanding in this matter. I'm confused. I thought Chieftangs AR service could include crystal removal now for a small fee. Is this an adjustment to that policy? I don't know why anyone cares about the Skyland or SA anyway. They're hideous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmastah12 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I need to send my 6.75 and navi world, I would prefer to send the whole watch coz i have no clue as to how to remove the crystals and stuff. Does he accept the whole watches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're hideous Yes he does now include crystal removal for a fee, but for the Breitlings that have tabs on them, Chieftang does not want to risk losing any tabs. Also the bezel is a [censored] to remove, not even The Zigmeister wants to mess with it. I need to send my 6.75 and navi world, I would prefer to send the whole watch coz i have no clue as to how to remove the crystals and stuff. Does he accept the whole watches? Yes you can send the entire watch head. Please at least remove the bracelets or straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmastah12 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Please at least remove the bracelets or straps. LR, i take it the bracelets can be removed by any watchsmith ? Also would it be too much to ask in PM how much it would cost to get each watch AR? Edited October 18, 2008 by dmastah12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will answer your questions about the cost. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry548189 I would take the watch to the mall and have one of those "watch" guys remove the bracelets, don't go to the AD.

Newdoc Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks for the help LR. Are the rider tabs the metal things that overhang the crystal at 12,3,6, and 9 on the BCE? I have a SOH and it looks like a pretty simple bezel, but I don't know for sure what rider tabs are. I am guessing that this the SOH is a straightforward bezel removal based on the looks of it. Any help here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yes, the Rider tabs are the little bits that overhang the crystal. You do not need to remove the bezel on the SOH in order to remove the crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchas1 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Is it possible to find the disassembly instructions for Bentley 6.75 model? Or at least someone could shortly describe them here? Damn, I was a bit worried that the bezel on my 6.75 moves a bit (something like very very slightly, say 0.5 mm), so I tried to tighten these 4 screws located on the bezel and guess what, these screws have nothing to do with the bezel it is even impossible to completely unscrew them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
