Even the bracelet looks high quality Simon. Do you have a service guide or do you rely on your experience and your photographs to guide you on new movements?

I've done quite a few of the ETA 28xx movements, and in the early days I studied several of the excellent youtube videos showing how a real expert works on these.
Nowadays I still take loads of pictures but I tend to know how to strip, rebuild and oil them.
If I've not done a movement before I do LOTS of research.

A really great service job on a beautiful watch Simon, as well a quality they really know how to tart up a movement to make it look special don't they.
Ever since I was a kid I have lusted over a Breitling, and that is a long time of lusting with no fulfillment. :imok:
I imagine parts would not be a problem for these, though getting access may be difficult, how do you fare?

Hi. Actually I am of the opinion they don't do anything to the movement.They spec a higher grade from eta and add the changes they wish.Eta then provide the movement as specified and with the customers name on the rotor and ready to pop straight into the watch. Cheers Phil

That's pretty much how it works. I have the ETA movement catalogs here and they work like that. So there's 3 grades of ETA movement finish and you can also select if you want it chronometer certified and whatever else. e.g. you can choose an instant date change at midnight, different shock protection springs, the BPH, smaller rotors, and the date changes that you can see here. There's probably a bunch of other options available as well. Hi.
