b16a2 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 They may well at some point do another rep of this watch, but don't be surprised if they introduce a different flaw! I would buy the current rep available, its very very good! Unless you had the gen next to it you wouldn't notice. I think the pictures probably exagerate the flaw to some extent!

notguilty Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 i purchased the GT without knowing abt this flaw found out abt it after the watch got shipped and it totally ruined my mood eventually the watch was siezed by customs so i opted for the bentley 30s instead another thing i dont like about the GT is that the subdial hands dont look black like the gens if they do fix these 2 flaws im gonna be the first to get me a blue dial GT! mmm that large polished case on a black leather strap + deployment is going to guarantee me many many sexytime waa waa wee waa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notguilty Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 i have four 6.75s, all highly inaccurate and with crap movements.there is no proper 6.75 rep with a a7750 thats been made as of yet.i reckon its cos of the big date...

b16a2 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) Thats the genuine above, noticed the black dial, and then the 'white wall' on the outside of the dial. Notice how close the numbers are to the outside of that wall. Next is a picture of the rep, notice the slightly bigger gap. I for one am convinced that the pictures make this look much worse than it is. I can't say for sure though as I don't own one. I can imagine when its in the scale of 44mm it really isnt that much different? Edited February 10, 2007 by b16a2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine when its in the scale of 44mm it really isnt that much different? It shure make it worse than what is in the reality. I have one Bentley gt and is not so different from the original. The difference must be 1 mm in total, so 0,5 mm by side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notguilty Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) Ive downloaded abt a hundred pics of the GT in my hard drive & there is not a single one which doesnt make me feel the rehaut is 'ignorable' I find it makes the dial look much smaller.And since this is the smaller 44mm Bentley it makes it even smaller. Lets hope this rep is popular enough for the factories to continue and improve it! Edited February 10, 2007 by notguilty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CY0811 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I compared against the original as well (in person)...looks 98% the same. Pics make it look bad since they are blown up. However the "white wall" is still a flaw and some people want a true 1:1 (not going to happen). No one will ever call the current GT out while on your wrist unless they are from this site though IMO.

93r1 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I've compared mine to a genuine as well and its hardly noticable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxse Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 guys do does your day/date function line up perfectly with each other on the GT? Sometimes some days of the week sit a little higher than the number and sometimes they are aligned properly. Is it like this on the gen or is it a flaw? And is it a flaw of the movement? Thanks... Im not concerned about the speacing but more concerned about the A/R and casbeack. Where can I send it to to get proper A/R? I have the white one currently.

In the Watch repairs and upgrade section there is a post about an 'AR Run' Currently the first batch has just been sent for a double AR coating. If it is successful, there will be a second batch sometime in the future, keep your eyes peeled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notguilty Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I have the rep and I saw the original thousent times, I can say you it is ignorable. Bear in mind my opinion is based on pictures and Ive never actually handled the GT personally so I'll take your word for it. But what abt the date? I have seen some reps with the date font horribly misaligned.Like this particular one here: http://cgi.ebay.com/BREITLING-BENTLEY-CRON...1QQcmdZViewItem I heard someone say the Day changes at 2 instead of 12 so that might be the cause of this.But day in red and date in blue is not acceptable by any means right? heheh Regards notguilty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Stick to the trusted dealers, and hopefully you won't get any suspect watches.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxse Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 So to the people that held the gen and/or the rep. Does the day and Date always line up perfectly. Soemtimes my day is a bit higher then the actual date and vice versa. Is it like this on the gen also? If not this is a dead giveaway, no? Also how come this watch doesnt come with a Swiss 7750???

14060 or 16610? Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Man, how can that guy say it is 100% authentic/genuine or whatever? Unbelievable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber2k Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 well, a 'new' GT has been released (brushed bracelet, new caseback) and it still has the big white wall I cant decide between this one or a correct-looking Navitimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
