The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I bought my first Breitling and it arrived yesterday. By the recommendation of a forum member, thanks jnelson!, I contacted Govberg Jewelers in Philly. I live in Florida and there are no ADs within a couple hours from me. I knew what I wanted and I have tried on the SOH before. So we made a deal!

I sent payment on Monday morning, watch was delivered Tuesday. I couldn't be happier with the service that I received, or the watch that I got.



I think I embedded that properly.

Only problem I have is that I need to remove a few links from my bracelet. I looked at the bracelet guide and it seems easy enough but I don't want to mess anything up or scratch my watch. Also, I tried looking for the Breitling tool without much luck. It seems as if the Bergeron 6767f will suffice in removing the links? Also, should I remove links from both sides of the bracelet to balance it out? The guide didn't seem to say that. Any other suggestions for someone who doesn't want to damage or scratch their Breitling?

Thanks for looking and thanks for the information all of you have given me, either directly or indirectly!

Sorry for the ridiculously large image. I'm not sure how to resize.

Any jeweler can resize for you. It does take a jewelers screwdriver to remove the pins that hold the links in place. I have the same watch in the chrono version and it is very nice. I put a brown leather Breitling strap on mine to dress it down a bit for day to day wear and to save the shine on the mesh bracelet.

Thanks! I've been hitting the gym recently. I guess it shows

Inadvertently funniest post of the year so far!
