Absolutely love my inherited Speedmaster Moonphase (3575.20.00 i believe), but have very sadly not been able to wear it (see pics of the completely disintegrated strap). Of all my dad’s watches, holding this one really makes me feel his energy and miss his amazing personality sorely. He’d give me shit for not wearing it either 😁
Would love to find the correct OEM steel bracelet if it’s available and not outrageously expensive. Does anyone know the correct bracelet reference for this model?
If not, do you think this watch is better suited to leather? I’d love to hear what you guys think. Thanks!

My late dad’s Chronomat A13050.1.

I love everything about this watch except one thing: the crown. It’s surprisingly small, a bit awkward to grip, and winding/setting it has always felt a little clunky compared to my Omegas.

Is this just how the older 7750-based Chronomats are, or is mine likely due for a service?

Thank you Jenson USA! Could not be happier with my new Aspero GRX RX820 (58cm). Insanely smooth shifting, pedaling, and all around shredding especially getting onto pavement. Huge upgrade from my fb marketplace aluminum cyclocross bike (will not miss the 105 drivetrain!!) I’ve had the last few years.

From one of my heirloom collection pieces of my dad's. Doesn't really fit me, so my fiance wears it once and a while. Would love to know the reference number, but I've read it might be inside the caseback? Any input much appreciated!

Inherited my late dad’s Breitling B-1 and looking for repair recommendations.

I’m in Colorado and would love to get this watch back into working order. It sat unused for many years and currently neither LCD display shows anything. The crown and pushers also appear non-responsive, so I’m not sure if this is simply a dead battery or something more serious.

For those with experience servicing older B-1s, would you recommend sending it directly to Breitling, or is there an independent specialist you’d trust with one of these? Any recommendations, especially in Colorado, would be greatly appreciated.

This was my father’s watch, so I’d like to have it repaired properly and keep it in the family.
