New Breguet coming in April

Right, I've changed the clasp over no problem but getting the original strap off is proving impossible.

Anybody got any ideas?

aflop ?

Does this bottom small screw release the one on the side to be unscrewed?

Who knows? I can't even get that screw to turn at all.

I’m not in the experimenting mood at the moment. I am afraid to screw something since I am not skilled at fixing things, yes at destrying..

 

[ssouthall6]

Ok, grub screw has unscrewed but still nothing really happening with the main screw

Ok. So I got there in the end with total and error. However, I think the strap measurements listed earlier might be off.

This one is 20/16 from Donerix.

Looks 2mm short at the lug to me

You have to loosen the grub screw the one that looks false with a tiny screwdriver. But the screws are awful quality so they break quickly.

Then unscrew the main lug screw. Eventually it popped out

Looks like it's a 21mm

Could someone please help me find a TD that has V2 of this to buy from? Thanks!

I got a 22mm from ziczac and polished the fuck out of the lugs with cape cod. It's survived just about!

It's been a few months since the last discussion on this. I was wondering how is the movement holding up for everyone? This looks like an outstanding quality rep.

 

[ssouthall6]

The movement is fine!

Mine is with ado getting repolished, I'll then get it white gold plated

Wow so it's nice enough to get plated in white gold! I take it the movement is quiet and it feels nice in your hands?

Any major flaws/issues worth mentioning (aside from the strap it comes on)?

 

[ssouthall6]

I don't really know the gen so well so I don't know, but it's a really beautiful watch. Nothing to complain about at all.

Sorry one more question that I would really appreciate your help with... How fast does the wheel on the right hand side Rotate?

Strangely the video of the rep v2 looks much slower than the rep v1 and the gen. Wondering if that's actually the case.

Gen:

Rep v1:

Rep v2:

Thanks

FYI - asked Jenny at puretime the same question and she said it's just an issue with the video, but would be great if someone who has one could please confirm. Thanks

I couldn't tell you mate, my watchsmith has it

Did anyone purchase the 21mm strap from puretime? Might solve some of the issues people are having with replacements given 21mm is an odd length.
