Hi folks, When the Breitling for Bentley was launched a couple of weeks ago I was itching to buy it. The only thing that was holding me back was that 9 of the 10 Breitling reps you see on the streets here in Holland is a Bentley... Then the GT came out and I was blown away by it's beauty. Besides it's different dial, which sets it appart from the Canal street reps, the case is smaller which is a big plus. The GT is approx. 44mm while the regular Bentley is 48mm which is just too big IMHO. My genuine Breitling Steelfish is also 44mm so I knew it would fit my wrist nicely. I chose the white dial purely because my Steelfish has a black dial. The other colours are too difficult to match with your clothes I bought many watches over the years and tried many different dealers. This time I bought my watch from Precious Time. Let me tell you; this guy is fast! Avarage reply to a PM within 5 minutes and I received the watch only 3 days after payment. The watch was carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and the package had 'fragile' stickers all over it. Overal PT was a pleasure to deal with. Perfect communication, fast shipping and he made me a nice price on the GT I would recommend him to everyone, especially EU based members. Now over to the review. I can tell you that I owned almost all of the 'super' reps. Omega SMP, Breitling Seawolf Ti, Omega PO 4th, Tag Heuer Link Chono, Breitling Navitimer, Subs, Pams etc. But this watch is the absolute best!! The new Asian 7750 runs smooth as a baby's ass and keeps perfect time. When you hold the watch in your hands you know this ain't your average rep..... I know there are some minor flaws but the only one that is worth mentioning is the crossing of the 't's' on the case back. Otherwise this watch is perfect in my opinion. Just for the record: The day and date align perfectly.. it's the angle. Deep engravings all over the watch. Pretty almost perfect case back. The real deal has the serial# etched and not engraved by the way. The clasp is freaking thight! you better have some thick nails... The HEV? The screw thread is perfect. Smooth winding. Just like my gen Breitling. The small 'B' etched on the side of the bezel. Nice touch. The bezel turns very smooth. The clasp fold with the engravement The serials on the back of the bracelet The jigsaw bracelet Wrist shot on a genuine Breitling strap For this kind of money just can't go wrong. I don't think a genuine one would give you more pleasure. For me this is the best replica out of the box. Hope you guys enjoyed the review. For specific questions you can always shoot me a PM.

Many thanks for your kind words ...I love it too A wise dutch guy told me once "nothing beats a gen crystal"...I stick to his word There are 580 rep endlinks attached...

Mike, I'm a paid member on 3 other boards and was previously a Moderator on one of them. I've paid my dues and put in my time and effort to try and make all the rep forums a better place. There's a good reason, in fact several good reasons why I never joined this board as a paid member. Attitudes like yours being one of them. There's a LOT of good information that can be garnered from this board, unfortunately most of it's not available to non paying members, so I'm getting exactly what I paid for and I'm happy with that. I try to be helpful and add meaningful contributions when I can. I wasn't going to get involved in this conversation at all since it really doesn't concern me until I read your condescending statements about membership. None of these forums would exist without all the members, not just the paid subscribers. I could write another two paragraphs of my reasons but this thread isn't the place.

That will get more members fer sure!

I wasn't going to post anything else on this thread, but I was a little taken aback by some folks questioning the mods for what they did, also why weren't the general membership told why Z was banned. First off the mods here are sort of like the guys who referee PeeWee football and umpire T ball games, they are doing what they do for free, out of their love for the forum and as a service to members here. They don't get paid like and NFL referee or and Major league umpire. like the umpires, they have to listen to folks going off on the forum, other members and the mods themselves. Also like the unpaid guys who referee or umpire your kids games, there is a certain tolerance level for everything and everyone. If there is a fan sitting in the stands screaming at the top of their voice, disturbing others, the ump is going to walk over first to the coach and ask him to quit his fan, if this doesn't work, the ump goes over and gives the person a warning, The next time he has to call time out, he's gong to have the fan removed. Just like with Z, he got warned multiple times for behavior and decorum that was not within the guidelines set up by the forums founders. Read the rules, they are right there in black and white. He obviously didn't read the rules, or chose to ignore them. Result he is banned. Personally, I thought he was a colorful character, but honestly, I was off put quite a few times by his gratuitous cursing and rants. I didn't join the forum to read posts where every other word was a curse word interspersed with threats. I can assure you that his behavior was tolerated here, a whole lot longer than it would have been on some of the gen forums I frequent, and probably most of the rep forums as well.

"...do you know the height of the sapphire bezel for the 16200?" The 30.4 to 30.45mm id figures above were from memory and were for solid gold bezels so I dug a few steel and gold bezels out and measured them: two used genuine 16200 steel engine turned bezels: 2.3mm high x 30.5mm id x 34.5mm od 2.35mm high x 30.5mm id x 34.45mm od two used genuine 16000 steel engine turned bezels: 2.0mm high x 30.5mm id x 34.75mm od 2.0mm high x 30.5mm id x 34.9mm od two used genuine 16200 smooth steel bezels: 2.33mm high x 30.5mm id x 34.4mm od 2.35mm high x 30.5mm id x 34.5mm od two used genuine 18kyg fluted 16234 etc bezels: 2.33mm high x 30.45mm id x 34.3mm od (4.9 grams) 2.35mm high x 30.45mm id x 34.3mm od two used 18kyg smooth 16233 etc bezels: 2.3mm high x 30.45mm id x 34.4mm od (4.9 grams) 2.33mm high x 30.45mm id x 34.4mm od two used genuine 18kyg fluted bezels for qs acrylic DJ 16013 etc: 1.9mm high x 30.48mm id x 34.35mm od (3.3 grams) 1.95mm high x 30.47mm id x 34.4mm od two new genuine 18kyg fluted bezels for 16013 DJ etc: 2.0mm high x 30.4mm id x 34.0mm od (3.3 grams) 2.04mm high x 30.45mm id x 34.2mm one 18k 'bark' bezel from 18kyg sapphire DD: 2.48mm high x 30.45mm id x 34.3mm od (5.5 grams) two new 18kyg aftmkt 16234 etc fluted bezels: 2.33 high x 30.45mm id x 34.48mm od (4.9 grams) 2.62 high (!!) x 30.45mm id x 34.25mm od (5.6 grams) The new 18kyg aftmkt bezels are die struck and finely finished same as genuine. The 2.33mm high bezel is ST, the other is unknown. All genuine gold bezels have rolex coronets stamped on the bottom side. All other gold bezels are like new so gold weight and measurements are accurate. All ss bezels are like new so measurements are accurate. All measurements made with Mitutoyo CD-6"P digital caliper. All gold weight measurements made by an Ohaus Emerald series scale...accurate but not certified for trade purposes. All typos are free.

This is mine I love it. I much prefer the red writing on the bezel than the white or black, it's not a big watch but has a nice weight for it's size and is very stealth looking. Get one!

I used the following items: 1 - Scratch Brush from Ofrei. (I suppose an ink eraser will do instead) 1000 grit sandpaper for the really bad areas Ofrei "Omega Titanium Refinishing Pad" aka Scotch Bright pad Blue Painters tape Dish Detergent (Dawn) and Water for final washes. Gently and evenly with the grain, simply rub out the scratches.
