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

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.
