The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello all,

I'm hoping that a member here might have a spare screw down pusher cap / spring to sell. It's for my old Incabloc.... I don't have the exact dimensions, though the cap is roughly 4mm wide by 2.8mm high.

I've been searching the web for a while & missed out on the set pictured below which sold on ebay UK.

Thanks in advance!

Moved to Buy / Sell / Trade section as posted as a WTB, but I think that you are going to need to go through a watchmaker.

Are you sure that it is a real Breitling? The typo of the dial looks strange, no cursive B on dial neither on crown, it does not look very sound?

Never even looked at that, but agreed.

It's been in my family for years. Local high-end jeweler told me that the movement etc is correct (I also wondered why it didn't have the 'B'). He also said that the screw down cap was a good indication of originality.

Your local "high end" jeweler is not qualified to determine the originality of any vintage Breitling with a stupid comment like - "He also said that the screw down cap was a good indication of originality." Pure BS - 100s of vintage chronographs used these pushers!

So, do you have one for sale...?

Thanks for the comment.

Vintage pushers are a big pain because they were not standardized. Most common brands did not make their own pushers and bought them from various suppliers. Even on some models, the pushers can be different. There are 3 different tread diameters on the tubes that screw into the case. 5 or 6 different threads on the ends of the shanks (the special screws that hold the pusher in) and dozens of different sized caps. My stash of pusher parts is in the 1000s but sometimes I have run into one I cannot duplicate and have to replace both pushers with new or used depending on what I can find. The new ones that I can buy would have the same diameter cap but the cap height might be slightly different. Most people would never notice the difference but I thought I better clarify all the options.
I will only sell one if I have the watch and do the installation. Otherwise, guessing which one might fit would probably waste both of our time. Please contact me directly and I will send you an estimate.

Thanks, Craig

whatever the "high-end" jeweller says; this watch is not a Breitling.

the "set from the UK you missed" is a pic of the pusher sets that Lester Harrison sells,
contact him though ebay messages, he has more on stock if u want to give it a try.

Craig - thank you for the useful information, I'll send you an email....

BTW; I really could care less if it is an original breitling or not - this watch means far more to me any other watch ever could.

Hello,

If you don't have the exact measurements, it is difficult. I very likely have a set, but need the measurements.

Thanks,
