When I sent it to Coserv the first time, I asked for the watch to be brought up to like-new condition. I was told that there are no crystals available for it. They did get it running better than it ever has - finally.
Where can I go to get it refurbished? A new crystal and bezel would be a very nice reward for such good service.
The reason I bought the dive watch was not only for diving, but I thought it would be inherently tougher than others. I still want the toughness, but the cliff diving, motorcycle racing, mountain climbing days are over. Nowadays, if it an take the occasional whack on the engine compartment of the car or smack on a tree while riding the horse, it's tough enough.
The only thing I question about the x wind is the computational additions. I really like the way the watch looks, but I know nothing of calculating cross winds. The added dials and actuation buttons don't make the watch less reliable or tough, do they?
I saw a Belair at a jewelry store that had the 7750 movement and the jewelry store logo on it. I thought $1800 was a little steep for a walking advertisement for the store.
I still need to know where to find a second hand, chronometer qualified, x wind. I have found no used ones I would trust.
This is a great site. I've been staggering around in a haze of ignorance and now, well, this is great.
Thanks, guys.
