Hi All

I have just bought a Breitling A13381 Avenger back from the dead. No incantations were used only a lot of work and some new parts. This was very similar to Marks rusty Breitling repair as this one had been plunged into a soapy bath for as long as it takes to have a bath with the crown unscrewed and had suffered horrendous rusting. The owner had pressed the chrono buttons when the mechanism was seized and in turn has snapped the pusher rods. One pusher is completely missing the other has a snapped off screw in the rod. Both springs are present. I need to get two new pushers, can anyone help and tell me where I can purchase them? Here are few pics of the repair. Incidentally the owner told me after I decided to have go at the repair that a high street watch repairer told him it could not be repaired. Well check out the last picture and as you can see she has been repaired.

The vid is OK. If I remember the pusher is spring loaded and screws into the pusher crown , as you can see from the pic it also has two O rings to waterproof it. Getting parts is extremely difficult I found the pusher using eBay.

Hi Guys

I went on Cousins and did a bit of research and it appears that the Pusher listed for the Breitling A11370 Avenger 2 will also fit the A13371, A13380 and the A13381 which is what I have. Can anyone confirm that this is right?

I put a new barrel and spring in. A new reversing wheel (automatic works) a new date wheel (calendar works), new calendar plate screws, New movement case retainers and screws. All other parts cleaned up reasonably well. Thanks to Mark though for video on the rust Breitling it was invaluable. I'm glad I'm a patron.QGPN1528.thumb.JPG.1ea932706a71d744580e9712bc9411bd.JPG

HI Guys

The pushers are still an issue I just cannot find any generic or otherwise. This is so frustrating as the hard work is done. The movement works and I really want to return the watch to the owner. Is there anyone who can help me obtain the pushers and screws for the Breitling A13381 Avenger 2?

I have contacted Breitling direct only to face a brick wall. :(

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds,England.  Ask away. 
    • What cutter are you using can you video the action 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
