cvp3 2,103 Posted September 26, 2011 Short story - strap broke, super avenger hit the concrete. Breitling logo detached inside the case and crown is missing. It appears that the stem is still attached inside the crown hole. So 2 questions: 1) How can I find another crown? 2) What am I looking at to fix the logo? Pulling the entire movement I suppose.

Luthier 1 Posted September 26, 2011 Ask Mary for a new crown. Yes, you have to pull out the stem and then mov't, then fix the logo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cvp3 2,103 Posted September 26, 2011 Hope you can get it fixed! Me too. I wish I could fix it myself, but I just don't feel comfortable pulling the movement out entirely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 27, 2011 is the tube still on the case? if the crown tube broke off with the crown you're in for more than just a crown. I think Mike McNair may have a spare case though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Mike McNair may have a spare case though If he's up to it I'll send it to Mike. He's already got one of mine there now with a dead mvmnt. I bought this one for $100 used and unfortunately I really like it, but I'd rather not spend another $100 to fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 27, 2011 do you have any pics of the damage? $100 for a used SA? that was a good deal...unless it was a quartz/21j version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see a tube down in the crown hole so figure that is probably still workable. The watch is in fact a 21J so the chrono's don't work. But the face is really well done. Here's the for sale link that I bought it from. http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...showtopic=19340 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 27, 2011 the tube should be sticking out from the case with threads on it, if not its broken off and since its a 21j version its really not worth fixing. Save up and get a 7750 version and just chalk this one up as $100 learning experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Save up and get a 7750 version and just chalk this one up as $100 learning experience. Then it's done. I was afraid of that. I like this version to. Can't seem to find another one from an approved vendor. I knew I shouldn't have fallen in love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
