Repairing a replica watch
Discussion
About 7 years ago on a family holiday to Turkey I spotted a very nice replica of a Breitling from the Bentley (Tourbillon) range. On closure inspection it was very nice and on face value a good likeness. My grand father noticed my fondness to the watch, and low and behold returned to the shop a purchased it for me as a Christmas present. I've worn it for 7 years now and it has never missed a beat, the automatic mechanism has always wound the watch until yesterday when I noticed the time had stopped. Sadly my grandfather passed away 4 years ago and the watch means a lot to me.
I know its a fake but I love the watch and it means a lot to me.
Now is it worth having the piece repaired?? Would the internals be made of chocolate and not even worth the cost of repair. I think something has come loose as a small nut like object was in the face of the watch but has now logges itself in the tourlbillon movement.
Shoot me down if it you like but I'm only really after advice

Breitling for Bentley did make a Tourbillon, your fake watch is not a Toubillon though, more a hole cut in the face to show the escapement.
They break for a reason, yours is a special one as it lasted longer than the flight home.
Well I never, all this time and there's me thinking it was a real tourbillon swirling away They break for a reason, yours is a special one as it lasted longer than the flight home.
