The repair of the extremely rare Breitling B2 that was requested the other day was completed and safely delivered.
This is a truly rare watch even among Breitling, which specializes in chronographs.
Actually, I don't know that much about Breitling.
I sold tons of standard Navitimers and Chronomats when I was an office worker.
In particular, I am proud that Montbrillant is the best-selling chronograph in my life.
However, Breitling's lineup after Chronomat Picolo is really rich,
There isn't as much information on them as there is on Rolex or Omega, so there are many items I've never seen before.
If this B2 hadn't been requested by a customer, I might not have even noticed it existed.
I was told that it is something that is rarely seen.
I'm really grateful to have the opportunity to learn things I didn't know before.
Chronographs from Breitling, Omega, and IWC are based on Valjoux Cal.7750.
The most popular and complete movement in chronographs,
To be honest, I don't think there is any chronograph movement that surpasses this one.
Whether we make it in-house or make it thinner, the maintainability and parts supply are top-class.
Although there are some critical voices regarding the two-stage chronograph,
It's great because it's such a wonderful machine (lol)
When I checked the condition when I received it, I found that
The push button on the top doesn't respond well.
Problems with push buttons that are common in chronographs include:
Whatever the shape, it will happen eventually.
Most importantly, please request an overhaul at least once every three years.
At that time, remove dirt and rust that has accumulated on the push button.
This is the only option, but chronograph repairs are expensive, so
To be honest, there are very few people who request repairs in a short period of time.
If the interior is complex, so is the exterior.
The structure of the case is often more complicated than the regular 2-needle or 3-needle case, so
Even if you are not using it around water, it is easily affected by moisture.
If this accumulates, it can easily damage the push button and other gaskets, so
It is important to repair the chronograph as soon as possible.
This time, we received a request from a customer to ``please fix it properly.''
This time
Overhaul ¥44,000
New finish ¥11,000
push button adjustment service
Total ¥55,000
Not only the interior but also the exterior is beautifully finished.
We are relieved that the response from our customers has been very positive.
Now you can use it forever!
