lolz123 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I read all the reviews posted on watcheden, but no one has said anything about the quality. I've done some research and found their prices to be the cheapest. But i figured cheapness comes with a price. so i was wondering if anyone with experience with WE could tell me what the quality their 108 or 128 dollar watch was ps: i was thinking of getting a breitling bentley thank you
maxman Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I would say that WE cheeper reps are on par with other dealers cheeper/less expensive reps,you gets whats you gots The cheeper Bentely will either have a quartz movement or a 21j movement. The gen Britling Is a automatic chronograph,the only rep movement that will mimic the smooth sweep of the small secs Is the A7750/A7753. The A7750's are more expensive but the watch will run/look the way It was originally Intended. If accuracy Is not a Issue then get the cheeper model. Remember the less expensive reps(under $200.00) usally dont have a saphire crystal,they have mineral crystals that can and will scratch. Pretty much ruins the watch when that happens Imo. The way I look at Is,If your going to buy a rep, why not a buy a good one?good luck.
PeteM Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I have had no problems with WEs budget watches in terms of the quality it is comparable to any other dealer and sometimes cheaper in that range... but I really would nt buy a Bentley Ling mate in that range.. I just feel the overall quality as a rep OTB is not great and there are plenty of rep models in that price range that offer the same wrist presence and are more accurate... Of course we all collect and wear for different reasons but as long as you know the weaknesses of buying such rep watches and are comfortably with that then "Fill your boots" mate and when it arrives post some pics... You might find it useful to consider others before committing..
whoever Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 got a few, running just fine, all 21jewels....
KB Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 The other thing is that a 21j chrono will either be faux or running as a day/month function. Ken
lolz123 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 The other thing is that a 21j chrono will either be faux or running as a day/month function. Ken what does faux or running as a day/month function mean?
Dave123 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Follow your gut buddy,it is correct.
KB Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 what does faux or running as a day/month function mean? Faux means the dials do nothing ie: the hands don't move Day/Month means instead of seconds/minutes/hours you get hours/days/Months Ken
lolz123 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Faux means the dials do nothing ie: the hands don't move Day/Month means instead of seconds/minutes/hours you get hours/days/Months Ken I'm leaning towards getting it still but does that mean the 2 buttons are useless? and it doesnt work as a stopwatch cuz it says: Fully Functional Day-Month-Military time chronograph dials sorry if i sound noob, but been doing a lot of research lately Edited February 28, 2011 by lolz123
KB Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 If you like it buy it, I have a few 21j watches myself. However... Fully Functional Day-Month-Military time chronograph dials Is what I mean by day/Month, yes like that they work but a stopwatch function needs seconds/minutes/hours. Ken

Ken thanks a lot so i guess this means the chronograph isnt really useful then :S if it cant keep track of time
KB Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 If you really like the Briet but want functioning stop watch aannnddd you don't mind tic tic tic tic get a quartz one. They are as cheap as the 21j (in most cases) and everything works. Ken
lolz123 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 How much does a quartz one usually go for? I've beeen looking around and I don't see any under 250. My bugets around that much
KB Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Well as you were looking at Watcheden here is a Briet Nav quartz that he had up the other day for 88 bucks.... Ken
