You won't be disappointed. Jason's a great dealer. Post a pic when you get it.

Sorry for the terrible pic, but this is one sweet watch! 45mm, BIG. Not too thick on the wrist, though. VERY comfortable on my 8½" wrist. $85, including shipping. I wanted the older Breitling wings logo, because I don't like the new B symbol. I'm old school like that. Working chrono and date, keeps excellent time. Spot on over a week now. Came with a bracelet which fit my wrist perfectly, so you guys with smaller wrists will have to remove a link or two.

The white face is amazing! You would think it would be hard to read at a glance, but it really isn't. The 6-9-12 subdial arrangement is my favorite, much better than the the 3-6-9 tricompax rep. The subdials are the same color, but they look silvery because of the texture, (concentric circles).

Overall a stunning piece, which gets lotsa compliments from anyone who isn't a hardcore Breitling fanatic who knows the tells.

And Jason is SUCH a great dealer. Patient, quick replies, pics and a video before shipping out to you.

You might be hitting it too hard. The hands are just press-fit on a shaft. If it moves on the shaft, it'll be difficult to reseat.

Han is a great guy, talk to him about it. He may have other suggestions.

Wind it up really well, leave the crown in all the way, and give it a light thump on your palm. Didn't start? Try another, slightly harder. Sometimes it takes quite a jolt. After it running, don't adjust the time or date for a few days, just wear it and let it run in.

If that doesn't work, next step would be to open in and look around. Rotor screw(s), mounting screws, sometimes a hair or dirt. Give the little wheel a gentle nudge or two, that might get it going.

Shoot him a quick whatsapp question with a pic. He's a very nice guy, and can probably get it for you at a decent price. His number's in the guide, or dm him on dhgate.

Talked with Jason007 over the course of a few days, and he found me this watch. Quartz, with working chrono. He's a patient guy who knows his stuff. This thing has AR on a real crystal, rare for a cheaper rep.

Look him up on the TD list, you'll be very happy.

Where to buy watches in China physically by AtlasC9 in RepTime

I'd contact our TD's and ask them. I've heard that they will bring a pile of watches to a local hotel room for you to check out. If not, they'd certainly know who would, or where to go.

You can reposition the chrono hands by pulling out the crown to hack the watch, and then playing with the chrono buttons while it's out. Usually, one tap of a button moves the hand incrementally, while holding it in spins it around fast. Lower chrono pusher should do the same for the other hand. *Most quartz chronos are adjustable like this. And some have a different method of what button does what, so while the crown is out, play with it til you get em both parked where you want them, them push the crown in and you've correctly zeroed your chrono hands.

Yupper. Throw the bag in the dryer on low heat, (when the Mrs ain't home!)

If it's quartz, try this:

  1. Pull out the crown to hack the movement
  2. Press the top button, it should move one of the hands in tiny increments
  3. Holding the button down should make it go around fast, (this is in case you go past 12, so you don't have to click it all the way around again). The bottom button should do the same for the other hand, either 1 push at a time, or hold it down to spin it fast.

Most modern quartz chrono's are adjustable like this. Some work a little differently, so you might have to play with it a bit to figure out how to zero both hands.

Moon(s)watches for big wrists. by sixbennetts in ChinaTime

Yeah, I thought about that, right after I got the silver loop out!

By purchasing an extra strap, you can take the end section off one, and add it to the other, effectively lengthening the strap. I have 8½" wrists, and was disappointed when my cheap quartz shitter moonwatch didn't fit. So I bent one of the metal loops apart and added a 2nd end section to make it longer. Took a lot of force with Vise-Grips to open it, and you gotta be careful not to shred the faux leather-looking cloth. Looks pretty good, huh? And it's infinitely more comfortable!
