Hi, 

I’m cleaning up a Breitling A13371 Super Avenger II with a cal B13 (ETA 7750). The date disc is damaged at the 8 (see pic). 
I’ve been trying to source this part via the big parts suppliers and eBay but to no avail. 
Does anyone have this date disc with matching font? Or have a good source for Breitling parts? 
Thanks! 7B3B8CF6-4841-4A64-AFAD-2EA0AA8A3138.thumb.jpeg.26229eefe1aba4be1f8bd6e26a82adb5.jpeg

I have a weird unhelpful link perhaps. I was searching for Breitling service centers this supposedly shows two of them in Seattle? I finally got it to give me looks like Ben bridge it may be possible go talk to one of the watchmakers and see what they have this say about this. Otherwise maybe one of the dial refinishing companies could do it it's kind of like a dial in a way.

      Rolex cal. 3135 issues

      By the way, I opened my watch, looked under a magnifying glass, there is simply no grease, the screws are without traces, the slots are intact.I think it's just a matter of maintenance.there are no rotor marks on the body. And to remove the strap from yours, just press on the 1st side,and slightly move the strap, then on the other side and it will come off.

      Hi My name is Chris. Just started trying to learn about watch and clock repair as a result of repairing my fathers old 1890s police station clock (about a year ago). The clock was Ok, but having graduated to pocket watches and then wrist watches, despite the really excellent stuff on Youtube, I am struggling a bit.  As a retired engineer, I find the engineering exquisite, but a bit on the fiddly side.  I have done a few practice watches with a little success but failed a few, but have had success with Seiko 7005s, 7009s etc, but have just attempted a citizen 5430.  Nightmare.  My wife thought I had found religion as I spent so much time on my knees with my eyes to the floor looking for springs.  Got through that and found that the balance is shot.  Trying to source one or something that will fit from the citizen range has me totally perplexed.  Tried Ebay, Cousins etc without luck.  Any advice as to alternatives that will fit or alternative sources would be gratefully received.

      Typical and max diameter of faceplate for 8mm WW lathe?

      By Klassiker · Posted

      Agreed, this is puzzling. Can you ask questions or inspect the lots before bidding? My Boley & Leinen Reform face plate is dia. 95mm exactly. It's possible that 4 inches is a slightly too large approximation, but why then make the distinction to 3 11/16 for the sake of 8mm? If the larger ones are truly 4" then they will clash with the bed, but then I have no idea which 8mm lathe would take them. All 8mm lathes have spindle height 50mm or less, as far as I know. The spindle height is, as you say, standard 50mm for W.W.
