I've been reading and a lot of the parts threads just go away, so I figured Id just make one and throw it out there.... Was wondering if anyone had any extra parts or just is an AD and has one in stock (because its not That big of a deal).... I need a crown (stainless) for a Breitling for Bentley motors model # A25362.....?? It is a Nearly new watch, I Really don't want to send it away and all I did was screw the VERY FIRST thread... And the tube at this point is fine as far as the threads we looked under a 100x mag loop and everything looks ok, so I didn't want to try to force the current crown and make the situation worse.. Replacing a tube is a whole different pain in the butt ball-game.. I know that a lot of dealers with watchmakers who do a lot of a certain brand.. Obviously in this case I'm hoping someone from one of the large breitling service places might see this because I know its an item them would definitely keep in stock since its pretty much standard for pretty much all 45 and 48mm breitling Bentley models.. Not an actual breitling facility/service center obviously... Anyways, I was a watchmaker certified by Rolex and an apprentice watchmaker to a AWCI master and Rolex, breitling, JLC, you name it and certified watchmaker for 6 years alone... I worked on everything from Lange to Patek to Grubel to Graff to Tag... And this is Not bragging or anything like that (most people could probably do it); I'm just giving you guys a little background because I've noticed on a few threads that the concensus is that when people are on here asking for parts such as this, I'm fixing a fake or full of crap or something.. So before I waste anyone's time or visversa, you guys know I'm being sincere and secondly, you aren't sending it to an idiot without the tools to do the job... I have a bench, and all the necessary tools.... I just don't usually have to work on breitling much... I never have any problems with them!
Anyways, I would appreciate anyone who can help.. You can pm me am to remain anonymous, etc... Doesn't matter..I apologize for blabbing.. Sometimes I tend to start typing and give a little TMI... Thank you all! And I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas AND/OR a Happy Holidays!
