Bentley GMT Replica Yet?

I have been waiting and waiting...but I have only seen crappy reps of this. Like this one:

and this

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,

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!

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. Don

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.
