How much to you think it will cost me to have my chronograph fixed?

In a previous post, I explained that the chronograph complication on my B&M Capeland isn't working properly. While the watch is working fine, and the chronograph appears to work, the chrono minute...

Sorry, I'm confused. What did you "hear" is titanium? I thought that's what we were talking about, a titanium bracelet scratching a SS watch.

I voted for the BC, but I'm prejudiced. Since I first saw a pic of one, I've been in love. Hasn't changed a bit in 1.5 yrs of wearing it (in rotation with my others). Every time I put it on, I smile. The pointer date just adds the right touch of uniqueness and to the perfect style.

Just curious, have you seen an example of this?

Here's the magic number, $60! That's it. I don't know if the owner gave me a break because I'm a watch nerd too, or that's just how he does business. I'm just thanking my lucky stars and buying a lottery ticket today.😉

commented on White dials ·

I love white dials though I only own one at the moment. I dislike black dials, but I dislike black in general, though I do have one black dial watch. However, it has other colors too. Of course, black dials hide the details of the dial unless the details are in different colors.

I don't own a single piece of black clothing, it just doesn't look good on me. I hate black cars because they hide the lines of the car.

This is my 38mm Metro which just barely fits my 6.75" wrist. This pic is not at the best angle, but the strap does taper inward noticeably on both sides which I consider a good fit.

I didn't get full service as the watch is running fine. Remember, though it's 6 yrs old, it only gets worn 1/8 (more or less) of the time. I agree with Fed, "Don't fix it if it ain't broke."
