Hi guys, I'm a first-timer on your great Breitling forum. I just drop my question and would appriciate any help. I'm looking for a dial of a Breitling Bullhead ref. 2117 chronomatic, the blue version. I have the dial of a handwinder in my chrono-matic, so that's not right. So maybe some hints on how to get the right dial? I know it won't be easy, but I'll try anyways.. Thanks a lot. Best regards, Jacco (from the Netherlands) |

welcome to the forum, Jacco, but .... sorry to say, that is by far the smallest issue here. all hands are incorrect as is the date wheel. |

Damn, is it? Hmm, my search gets even harder.. I knew about the datewheel, but not about the hands.. Thanks for your reply.. |

before u do anything else, I'd verify if at least the movement is correctly marked ? |

That's a beautiful picture and those are beautiful bullheads! I noticed that your blue 'stunner' doesn't have chronomatic on the dial either? I suppose that the hands and datedisc are impossible to find. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.. The movement is correctly marked, a nice caliber 11. |

the "blue stunner" is a manual wind  note the different crown positions hands are not such a huge issue, date disks are hard. cal. 11 is not really correct for the Pult as these were long gone when it was announced, but that is minor here. |

Black datedisk for date at 6 + those hands ... Jacco, I suspect that your watch would have been assembled from an unused NOS 2117 case + a manual wind dial + the cal 11 + handset of a Hamilton Chrono-Matic . As Fred says finding the right handset is possible . For the datedisk it is very difficult and I am pretty sure that many Pult projects are blocked because lacking datedisk . Maybe the best solution would be to gather orders and launch a batch of datedisk reprint using date at 6 disks which are not hard to find . |
