Worth every penny...

I got my Emergency Mission back from BUK last week after a 10 week pampering... it has come back looking like new

[Mr Happy]

I never used to like Breitling watches, always thought they were too 'busy' on the face, but that looks

Any photos of the condition of it before having the work done?

That looks superb! the bracelet looks brand new, need to get my SOH done, the polished surfaces attract scratches very easily, if you dont mind me asking how much did it cost? would be good to see a before pic aswell.

Slightly off topic, but you can't beat a Tyrwhitt shirt for value. They always seem to have an offer on making then often cheaper than department store shirts.

There's also 10% cash back on quidco! Think I might buy some

Awesome service on your watch, looks brand new

So who owns the Fezza pictured in the other forum?

[phumy]

You didn't say how many pennies!!

[Y7TSY]

That last picture has now been set as my background! definetly need an emergency at somepoint.

Go on, pull the crown out on the bottom right to see what happens.... I dare ya!









This is exactly why I could never trust myself with a watch like that

That's Chris Green's Enzo ;-)


The servicing (overhaul) is fixed price on the Emergency.
Battery changes (there are two), case and bracelet polishing and replacement of all seals and the hands (why?) is £322 inc VAT.

Fantastic watch, even better photography.

I like the way the face changes colour from blue to black.

You have not had the watch long so why did it need a full hit ?

And obviously the main question, how many pennies was the work, and how did you do without your pride and joy for 10 weeks.

PS. If your anything like me you will have bashed it on something already.

Haven't bashed it on anything (yet) but avoided people like the plague at Goodwood on Thursday...

I made do with my trusty SKX007 and Chavitimer whilst it was away.

Local coast guard still monitors 121.5 MHz, so it should still have the desired effect in an emergency... hopefully

It wouldn't be great to find out they didn't when it mattered most!

'Er... they'll be along any time soon... I think...'

I love the quality of your pictures, were they taken with your D90 with what macro lens ? cheers

Thank you !

Taken with my D90 and combination of 50mm f1.8 and Kenko tubes, mostly. I would love to buy a dedicated macro lens (the Nikkor 105 is lovely), but it's a bit pricey.

I believe most aircraft and coast guards still monitor 121.5MHz, but as I am unlikely to ever be in a situation to need it I am not bothered... it works on the tester that lives in the briefcase that the watch came in...
