MikeMitchell Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I've been looking, researching, and learning over the last few hours. I'm interested in the Breitling Bentley. I found one at Andrews: http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_p...products_id=632 And one at Joshua: http://perfect-clones.com/bl10017-bentley-...750-p-1220.html Andrew is 47mm diameter Joshua is 49 in diameter Do you guys think one site is measuring just the face and the other the whole case? I've emailed both but haven't received an answer yet. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've emailed both but haven't received an answer yet. Thanks! It's possible than one is measured in the standard way, 8:00-2:00, across the case. The other has been measured to include the crown/pushers. Other than that, I have no idea why there would be a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TTK Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) They're using a cloth measuring tape.........piece of string......thumb and forefinger.......nose to elbow.......! Remember.....drop shipping = no held in hand = factory workers = Shitinerand = 2mm difference.....! They don't have a set of these....! BTW.....across the face 8-2 is NOT the standard way........that might work for a classic 'round' watch.....but not a watch that has flared lugs or a galbe case......the correct way is to pull the crown for time setting and measure directly from 9 - 3....it's the only completely accurate measure......ignore the crown.....and compensate slightly for the crown relocation space.

Linder Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thanks for the measuring tip. That's a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I measure across the axis of the crown, 9-3 and exclude the crown as part of that measurement. With regards to the differences in measurements- Perhaps one dealer is taking the crown into account and the other is not. 2mm difference may indicate that...

Guest TTK Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Perhaps one dealer is taking the crown into account and the other is not. 2mm difference may indicate that... I definitely would not like to try winding a 2mm thick crown.....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TTK Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 @feek Methinks Neil is mixing up width and diameter I never mix up ..width...diameter......or length.... A large DIAMETER Panerai crown measuring 3mm X 10mm is a different proposition from a 2mm X 5mm THIN crown that sits in the crown recess of most 'normal' watches......and if YOUR Panny doesn't have a 3mm crown....then you should be buying from me....

kasigi Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Methinks Neil is mixing up width and diameter. Winding a 2mm diameter crown would be interestingly difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm not sure that there aren't 2 different sizes. There are 2 different sizes of Navitimers (Joshua sells the smaller) and only the larger size is correct and will fit the original / genuine dial.
