cuervoz Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi everyone, Looking for your advice...does anyone know if there are reps of Breitling Supersports and/or the Breitling Bently GMT? If so can someone please message me a source. Had an amazing Breitling Bentley 6.75 with Double AR and other various mods but need to replace it with a new watch or another 6.75. Thanks for looking!

Dave123 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I owned a gen GMT (bracelet in my avatar)..,the rep (only in quartz) is garbage,the other is not repped and would be garbage as well. When it comes to Breitling reps,move on from these models. The best short advice i can give. But trust it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had any problems with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 As Dave said, the reps are garbage. I actually own both the SS and GMT Gens and their movements are too complicated to rep. The closest automatic rep of the GMT had the correct 30sec chrono, but no other complications. The Gen SS, has the minute totalizer is at the center of the dial.

I had a white dial 6.75 that had the AR done and a gen strap,nice rep. Best it gets in the Bentley line. The rest i am no fan of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I had a Motors T that I sold last year...although the running secs were @ the 9 instead of the proper 3...It was overall...a very well made rep. If I were to purchase another Bentely version...It would be this one. open/close/open again. http://www.1-pc8838....800-p-3681.html I dont know how the AR is on the gens...but the light rep AR might be good enough...dont know for sure. But if I were to pick one up I would have a lume job and possibly jump on a AR run...probably get it serviced If I planed on keeping it. Then I would say.... "you would have one hell of a nice 6.75" If you really want something special...check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImVgz2FcEB8&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of history in that watch,actually. Been around the world since leaving my wrist. Would love to know who owns it and yes,i could "tell" it....

maxman Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks for the info Max. tried the link but it only went to the main page. If you open the link then close It..then open It again..the link will be there..I just checked It and it works. Unfortunately thats the way it works with Perfect Clones.... most of the time anyway. Hope this helps. The video is of a cheep quartz fantasy model....at least It dosent have those tacky fake diamonds around the bezel.

Oh BTW the motors in the video is nice. I'm not crazy about the orange but fond of the brown dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 The black dial 6.75 is the most accurate..the brown dial is not..the gen 6.75 is more of a copper/bronze color. I definitely would go with the black....If accuracy Is important to you that is. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 What is not accurate on this rep or any of the Bentley reps is the 30 sec. chorno hand (makes one rotation in 30 sec. instead of the standard 60sec)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed you are right Mike...a problem for some...a non issue for others. For me it was the latter...especially when one contemplates the price of the gen..small compromise... with all things considerd.
