stenovelli Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys, I,m new to the site so forgive my ignorances.I was given a Breitling in a will and don,t know a thing about it so any info would be priceless from you guys.It is a Breitling for Bentley and i think it is called a tourbillon it has a Speed stainless steel bracelet.I do not know how to operate the chrono but i can unscrew the centre crown to adjust the time.The sub dials have the days of the week but no date? the other has numbers 4,8 and 12, I will attempt to upload my poor quality photos.Once again THANKS for any info. Also can anyone tell me what the two buttons are for on the opposite side of the crown.ps I have been told it is a gen not a rep But who knows it could be a very good copy?? It is also very heavy.

Yeah your right, as i explained i dont know Jack about watches. This was left to me by an uncle when he passed.You dont say why you think its a fake.Seems a lot of work gone into this if its not genuine.If your so much of an expert tell me why its fake!! I went on a u.k breitling site and everything they said about how to check for a fake, came out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickdick Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Model is a Breitling for Bentley. However there is no faux tourbillon version in the genuine world. The subdials are a faux. No such thing as a display back... and there is a lot more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 look at your tourbilion dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Steve, i am very sorry to say that it is a fake and also a very bad copy of a very expensive watch, the chromo wont work as it is not a chrono movement, the subdials work as day date, it is not a tourbillon just a visible balance of a cheep Chinese movement. If your so much of an expert tell me why its fake! As you dont know any thing about watches why not do some research and learn why it is fake. If you want to know about replica watches come here and learn, you wont learn any thing from the brietling site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stenovelli Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks guys,I,m not disappointed at all.The photos do not do it justice. I like it anyway and its nothing but sentimental to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 to be honest im no expert, i dont even own a breitling, but to spot this out took 5 seconds but hey when you have personal interests in this watch, cause its the watch from your uncle and when you like the look, then wear and enjoy it, its yours, so do whatever you want do do with it. best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest,i have just done some research on a breitling forum and it did show pictures of the gen and the fakes.The breitling motif should be solid not hollow in between.Its solid.The anchor on the second hand should be a proper anchor.It is. The movement is automatic.The bezel turns.You can see all the movements. The "B" in Breitling is the correct shape.This,if a fake is very good quality in that they seems to have put an awful lot of work into making a fake.Surely they wouldn,t go to that much trouble. Would they?? Maybe they would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillorin Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Yes they would put that much work into a fake, this one is actually not considered a very good fake either. There have been models made from solid gold and diamonds, some of the people making these fake watches buy the real (very expensive) models and dissect them so they can make very accurate models. Some are great but none are perfect. Point being your watch doesn't have the same functions as the real one does, and none of them have a clear back. If you still have any doubt, look here: http://www.watcheden.com/breitling-for-bentley-tourbillon-chronograph-automatic-with-white-dial-s-s-i-45363-p-1.html Edited March 14, 2010 by gillorin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 thread starter, do you realy still think you have a gen or a super hyper rep? come on :lol: i mean you said its something personal with the watch, and i totaly understand this, its a beautyful watch in his own, but a real bad rep that you can buy everywhere for a few bucks. so wear it well buddy and enjoy your watch, but accept the answers you get to your askd question. best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 To be honest,i have just done some research on a breitling forum and it did show pictures of the gen and the fakes.The breitling motif should be solid not hollow in between.Its solid.The anchor on the second hand should be a proper anchor.It is.

The "B" in Breitling is the correct shape.This,if a fake is very good quality in that they seems to have put an awful lot of work into making a fake.Surely they wouldn,t go to that much trouble. Would they?? Maybe they would. The Breilting Motif, anchor, automatic movement and every thing else you mentioned are easily replicated even to the worst degree of quality. What is not easily replicated it the functionality of the tourbillion movement. The display of a balance wheel does not cut it. Check out some videos on Youtube under “Tourbillion” and you can see first hand how these movements function and why they have a 6 figure price tag attached to them. To answer your question “Surely they wouldn,t go to that much trouble. Would they??” Yes they would! Not with this model, but with others yet. Take the Breilting Super Ocean Steel Fish. One of the best out of the box Reps around. Has been for some time. I along with other have seen many of these Bentley Tourbillions. I actually used to work with a guy that tried telling me his was real and swore buy it. I did not call him out as if it makes him happy then that is all the matters. Just like if you like the watch, then that is all the matters. FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
