  3. But who would ever spot that ...even at this magnification its not so visible..and then these are probably made in Swilzerland
  4. Breitling Bentley 48mm 'Bentley Motors' Chronograph (30s) With the distinctive Knurled Bezel that is a Bentley trademark, the watch does not go unnoticed, and the wide, shallow dial gives extremely easy reading with a bold statement. Genuine: Retail Price 18K red gold case $44000 Limited edition. Selfwinding chronograph. 18K red gold case. Silver Storm dial. 3D view here: http://www.breitling...iew-in-360-34-3 BENTLEY MOTORS details Movement Breitling Calibre 25B, chronometer-certified by the COSC, selfwinding high-frequency (28,800 vibrations per hour), 38 jewels. 1/8th of a second chronograph, 30-second, 15-minute and 6-hour totalizers. Date. Case Steel or red gold. Water-resistant to 100 metres. Screw-locked crown. Rotating pinion bezel with variable tachometer (circular slide-rule). Cambered sapphire crystal, glareproofed both sides. Diameter:48.7mm. It is a 30-SECOND CHRONOGRAPH Inspired by a patent filed by the founder's son Gaston Breitling in 1926, the ingenious principle of the 30-second chronograph is distinguished by its central hand sweeping around the dial in half a minute instead of the customary 60 seconds. This original system, featured on the Bentley Motors, Bentley GMT and Bentley Mulliner Tourbillon models, ensures readings of the measured times accurate to within 1/8th of a second. Variable tachometer Most of the Breitling for Bentley chronographs are equipped with a variable tachometer, a world-exclusive feature by Breitling. When used in conjunction with the chronograph, this system enables one to measure the average speed, whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached. It thus features optimal operating efficiency in relation to standard tachometers which are limited to observations based on times of less than 60 seconds. The variable tachometer consists of two scales: a fixed scale with hour/minute/seconds markers in the centre and a mobile scale around the outer rim. The fixed scale is read off clockwise and the mobile disc counterclockwise. The user may for instance take advantage of the chronograph functions to measure the time a vehicle takes to cover a given distance. The distance covered (outer scale) must always be placed opposite the marker serving as the reference basis for the calculation (hours, minutes or seconds on the inner ring). To read off a result, one must ensure the decimal is correctly placed (since the figure 3.2 may represent 0.32, 3.2, 32, 320, etc.). Example: A vehicle covers 50 km (or 50 miles) in 15 minutes. What is its average speed? Solution: place the figure 5 (=50) on the mobile disc (distance covered) opposite the minutes marker on the fixed scale, and then read off the result opposite the figure 1.5 (=15) in this case 200 km/h or mph.In much the same way as a slide rule, the variable tachometer serves to perform many other operations: multiplications, divisions, rule of three calculations, hourly production rates, hourly output or consumption rates, heartbeats/minute (pulsometer), etc. Replica Price $350 Updated Version with a New Updated Dial, Complete Caseset Piece with Bezel Knurling instead of Insert MOVEMENT: Asia 7750 Valjoux Working Chronograph movement, 28800bph .Working Regulator CASE DIAMETER: 49mm THICKNESS: 16mm DIAL COLOR: White Dial, White Recess Subdials, Stick Markers CASE MATERIAL: Solid Stainless Steel 316L, Thick Rose Gold Plating 5mils BRACELET: red gold Bracelet FRONT GLASS: Sapphire crystal with Light AR coating BACK GLASS: Close case back with Detail Engraving BEZEL: Knurled Bi-directional Bezel HACK MOVEMENT: Yes CLASP TYPE: Flip Lock Bracelet DATE INDICATOR: At 4:30 position Water Resistant FULLY FUNCTIONAL Chronograph Seconds subdial at 9:00 (sweeping seconds) Pusher button at 2:00 starts/stops chronograph Pusher button at 4:00 reset chronograph Conclusions. Bezel with knurl is way inferior to genuine Dial: Major fault is the layout of subdials and their numbering Functions: the replica has an ordinary but great working Chronograph but certainly no 30s function Built: the head, case and bracelet are solid enough and the watch feels heavy and big so that’s good Quality: Being an replica, the watch I bought was well built and the movement functioned superbly with excellent timekeeping. Chronograph works like a dream. Advice: Obviously this is not a replica worth buying if you want reasonable accuracy in terms of genuine details and functions. It is not an easy watch to replicate But on the other hand it is not expensive and it is a powerful looking, solid and well made watch. So it is an excellent watch to start with if you want something big and complex looking. On its own it is a quality made and working piece and you may never meet an individual that knows what it really should look like and function (but you never know that for sure)
  5. If I can pry it off my friends wrist..these seem to be popular...and yes it is a damn fine watch....but seriously I am wondering if PANERAI is not for me afterall....I should have known miracles don't happen
  6. I will not buy it even if it looks truly fantastic cant live with that faux "dobbel chrono"....didnt realize it at first
  7. You may never see this again...enjoy the moment PAM lovers..Dr.Gran with a PANERAI
  8. Funny that you asked....a friend of mine with huge muscles came over tried it.. He said he loved it and then walked out the door with it...I might never see it again I managed to get some quick wrist shots before he left......
  9. OK my 088I watch arrived from Joshua! This is it It is completely different from all the other watches I have had on....feels and looks very very unusual for me...PANERAI owners must be crazy
  10. Its scandalous? The Patrimony Traditionnelle Chronograph SS White Dial ETA-2890A2 Is being sold for US$ 688 http://puretimewatch...ial-eta-2890a2/ How can this be? These watchs are not supposed to be an Automatic but handwind and the better replica can be had for less (US$ 238) http://puretimewatch...-ss-white-dial/ Is there really a genuine VC chronograph with automatic or is this simply replica madness in full action making a new and worse watch Genuine Vacheron Constantin Chronograph in White Gold Old Malte Chrono! new chrono!!

    7750 V 7753

    Thanks, i was confused for a second there :-)

    7750 V 7753

    So if there are two ASIAN 7753 movements in replicas (in addition to ETA 7753 in some very expensive replicas) I have three questions: 1. How to best for a buyer to distinguish between the two different ASIAN 7753 movements in replicas 2. That this new type of ASIAN 7753 allows a non-recessed date wheel.....I guess that would not improve the PO CHRONOGRAPH replica in any way? 3. Could give us a detailed picture comparison of the two different ASIAN 7753 movements in replicas?
  14. Not that many ROLEX and TUDORS over 40mm? Great that watches are measured in the metric system....
  15. Its better to have a small wrist since hen you can wera the classic watches like the PATEKs and IWCs better...the big watches is just to look modern, young and sporty
  16. I am wearing the one and only "KING prototype" today since I just sold my other RWG (ERIC/BLADE) watch
  17. oK YOU GOT ME .... the person under me is one of those conservative silly old fashioned minded individuals that still think ROLEX is the king of watches
  18. My favorite is a chopard....BUT THAT 088 AND 162 ARE PRETTY SWEET
  19. Yes the prototype is unique in being the only one ever made (Made by KING). All that was wrong with this prototype was that the diametre is 40mm instead of the requested 42mm and that the Chinese replica factory "humorism" inserted on it in the form of Limitcd cdition due to use of Garamond font The prototype
