Hey there,
I am trying to get my ref. 2002 SS Top Time back in a better state. I have two questions I am hoping someone can help me with.
Crown:
I received the watch with a signed Breitling crown in place. From some research, I would say it is not correct. This is the only pic I had on hand as I am away from the watch at the moment.
Not the best picture to illustrate what I am looking for. From what I have seen, the original crown was a little more rounded on its face. That and rounded on the teeth...meaning the teeth had a doom to their profile.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows where one would source a correct crown for it? Are there any other Breitlings that I can also look under for the correct crown. Also, if anyone has a really nice example, would you mind posting pix and maybe measure the overall diameter? Thanks!
Crystal:
I had some work down on the movement recently, and my watch builder said that the crystal was very loose. Its not going to pop out he thought but when I asked about waterproofing, he just laughed. I am not looking to dive with the watch, or even swim for that matter but I dont like the thought of a loose crystal. God forbid I drop it in water, get sprayed by a hose, anything that could happen and I get water on that wonderful dial. Looking for a good source for a replacement. I didnt ask my watch guy as I wanted to see what people hear though first. Again, would like something as original in shape and profile as possible.
Thanks so much everyone!
