Clerek Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I have been waiting and waiting...but I have only seen crappy reps of this. Like this one: http://www.86watches.net/goods.php?id=4554 and this http://www.86watches.net/goods.php?id=4552 Does anyone know of a reputable dealer that sells these pieces? I know Dave has a rep, and shows tons of pics on here, but I haven't heard of any reps... Thanks, -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Actually, Dave HAD a genuine one. He sold it already. No decent rep of this one currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clerek Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 HEHE sorry Dave I didn't mean rep I meant GEN... GEN GEN GEN! -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 The issue for me would be even if they rep. this model, the give away would be the movement, as the Gen. chrono is 30sec and not the typical 60sec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clerek Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Ah but the 30s chrono is not that to emulate in the movement! The question is what kind of movement would go in these? It says it is a Calibre 47B...? What is this and is there a rep of this movement available yet? I would be interested in helping someone produce a decent rep of this if anyone has the know how! -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 If memory serves, the 47B is a ETA 2892 with a GMT module and 30sec. chrono complication. I was shopping around for a Navi. World around the time my AD got their first Bentley GMT in stock. The Breitling rep. just happen to be there so I asked him what movement it used. He stated is was the same movement base as the Chrono-Matic 49 (B14 movement, ETA 2892) that had additional complications added to it created by Breitling in-house for the GMT and 30sec. chrono sweep hand. A rep of this movement would involve Running secs @3 with a GMT function. Being that the A7750 is used in the rep. World with running secs moved to 3, a GMT complication would need to be added.

yodap Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 There's an A7750 with 30sec chrono module as well. It could be (and possibly will be) done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 There's an A7750 with 30sec chrono module as well. It could be (and possibly will be) done! Which reps use this movement? Anything in the Bentley line like most of the Gens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Nice! Thanks! Now they just need to get a GMT hand on it with the GMT change function on the LH side of the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Nice! Thanks! Now they just need to get a GMT hand on it with the GMT change function on the LH side of the case. Yes, but even if they done so, the subdial spacing would be still wrong... They'd also need this mod: Greetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have seen that before. My $0.02, you are going to be asking too much of the movement as too many modifications are required. If feasible, I also think the movement will make the watch too thick. The Bentley GMT, although is 49mm in dia. it is also very thin. I want to say maybe 14mm-15mm thick at the most. The first thing I noticed when I had one on my wrist was, nice diameter size but sat very low on the wrist. Kind of almost not proportionate between diameter and thickness.
