foreign brietling navitmer movement


Yorkie

Recommended Posts

hi, 

A friend dropped off his foreign Brietling, said had broken the stem.

appears to be a standard setup with subdials at 12:00/9:00/6:00

i have been trying to identify the movement, but i am struggling after the usual Cousins & internet search, in order to get a stem and crown etc.

I removed the dial to help with identification and in doing so broke the 12:00 hour recorder subdial spindle.

Any thoughts on swapping the movement, or general advice would be most helpful....

many thanks

I don't get the point of using an unusual euphemism, as there is no censorship here. Call it for what it is, a fake.
An original stem may possibly work, but I don't really know.

hi JDM , i am learning and a good point on the euphemsim thanks.

guess first i try some chinese 7750 stems, then try to find a 12:00 subdial recorder wheel and replace that.

if not, then i try to replace the movement, but I checked cousinsuk movements but could not find a similar 26mm x 6.25mm movement.

 

hi Chopin, will check and confirm anyways.

 

thanks

I stand corrected, not an A7750, but some other sort of contraption with month / moon / 24hr.
From Cousins it's an DG3836IB, although the same money would buy a lot more Chinese quality and honesty on AliExpress.

Hello Yorkie,

Disregard the watch (or semantics) snobs and use whatever words you choose to describe the movement. Getting to your problem: Check O. frei as the have a large selection of chinese movements. I am sure Cousins UK does too.

It looks like it may be one of these:

No snobism here, just calling calling things their name. I'm sure that is something you appreciate too.

The mov.t in question is not a small seconds one; I've indicated model and availability above.

Fake of course. The movement is based on the DG2813 which is based on the Myiota 8xxx something. 

Nice accurate movement if properly serviced and adjusted that can be found in most low-mid grade replica watches. 

Not a chronograph for sure :D

I'm glad you've got it sorted out. I am a collector and have high-end and low-end watches, and don't own any replica watches, but I defend anyone's decision to do so. Besides, you asked for repair help, not input on whether it's  real or not!

Looking forward to your future posts.

Regards,

J

And help was given. In the end, you're still quibbling about nothing, when the OP has already extended his thanks to everybody. Time to move on, right?

That you started calling others snobist, and continued saying that judgment was given instead of help. And here I'm owning my remark again:

Now please, would you drop it and move on.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
    • C07641+ not sure what the "+" is for after the last digit.
