I wonder how well this would work out: sell it, and you know it; buy it back, and you know it even better. Fun aside, I would like to see a picture of your watch too.

Kind regards,
Paul

Haha! A little bit uneconomic - don't you think so? :-)

I have a pilot 3880 ceramic, but want to purchase an oem alligator strap, like on th 3778, would this strap fit perfectly on my watch? Any help will be appreciated

Welcome to the Forum Killamist! Personally I don't think that a black leather strap would fit on your 3880 ... unless you find one which is as dull as the ceramic appearence of your pilot...
But perhaps there are other perceptions on this forum.

I have a Portofino with Maltese strap, unfortunately I haven't been able to wear the watch for quite some time but it has been in the case and not touched. Today I removed it and found the back of the watch to be what looks like stained as if ink has been smudged and ingrained!! Can anyone tell me what I could use to remove this unsightly stain/mark??

Ah,yes it could be described as dull or matte in a world of S/S I found it quite understated, which is what I was after, thanks for the welcome. Regards
Vince.

Do you mean MILANESE BRACELET? I'm not sure what a MALTESE STRAP is?

hi all.
bit of a newbie question, but, can an automatic movement be overwound,if so whats the magic number of crown revolution’s
thanks all
Vince......

Hi Vince,
The answer is no, you cannot overwind an automatic movement. There is a clutch that will prevent the mainspring from being overwound.

When starting an auto watch that has wound down and stopped, 30 turns of the crown is recommended to give the mainspring sufficient power.

This thread should probably be retitled. Miscellany anybody?!

Hi folk’s,
quick yes or no question, recently acquired a ceramic pilot chrono 3880. am i right in thinking it has totally in house movement, if not does anyone know what it has got, Thanks vince

Yes, it's an inhouse movement - cal 89365.
Congrats on this great piece!
