Post subject: | What happened to this Emergency? |
Hey everyone, I'm starting to research Emergencys, for my next purchase. If anyone saw my other post, they know I missed a glaring issue with my first breitling. Now I'm like sherlock holmes with these pics. Here's one that I thought was interesting: ![]() What do we think happened to this emergency? Besides those hideous diamonds ![]() There should be a seal between the antenna pull and the case: ![]() Not sure if that is plastic or rubber. Does anyone know if these fail at all? Like maybe got brittle and just broke off? Or does it go deep into the case, and it doesn't come out, unless someone pulls the antenna? It seems like to me, even if you did pull the antenna, that piece couldn't be lost, cause the antenna goes through it. Any info would be great. I will add it to my journal ![]() |

Frequently fail, no big deal. |

The ring has a small tab that is indexed to the case and it has been known to catch on clothing. As the plastic gets older, it becomes brittle and breaks off. The diamonds, on the other hand, are perfectly hideous. |
