dadog13 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi... it was discussed before about the new releases...and i have just checked joshua's website and under the new items i have found a pretty interesting rep...a breitling 4 bentley with the big date at 12 and with running seconds at 3 o'clock... what do you guys think about this one...I won't post the link to joshua's site (i think that everyone can find it and a lot of you already know the www)... I am really interested in seing comments from the experts... there are advertised releases as the IWC cousteau 2007 model, HBB black magick, HBB PVD/steel... I hope there is not already a discussion somewhere on the forum since i've been off the forum for the past 10 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Ok I'm not one of those experts you are waiting for but if the watch has a big date doesn't that suggest a new movement? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hadn't seen the rep of the Bentley before, nice spot! It is pretty much spot on now with the seconds running at 3. All it would require is an AR coating and a relume. Unlike the other large Bentley's the gen doesnt have a 30 seconds chronograph (sweeps around at twice the speed of a normal one) so this is possibly the most accurate Bentley we have seen yet.

dadog13 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 King posted them too on the website...it says it's the asian 7750 with running sec at 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton2000 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Looks great, but add to the (small) list of flaws that the colour of the inner rotating bezel is beige, and not white. More importantly, we have a rep movt with running seconds @ 3!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I'd love them to make the Blackbird, which I was told by one collectors that they are, but I am not so sure on that. The Blackbird also has a large date, which I always have a passion for, as well as the seconds at 3, what I am afraid of, is that this is not a new movement, but rather, a modified Asian 7750, and we all know the story of modified 7750 and its extra gears, are we right? so that is what I worry about. I have not visited Josh's site, does anyone have a movement pic to share for this rep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elprimerozen Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 So its time for the "small" big bang!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I think a movement pic will not be enough. It is on the dial side all this modification, and unless one of our moders opens one up, I doubt we will have a view of it. The horror stories of the modified 7750 have to do with the design / execution of the modification. 7750's are in the genuine Hublot Big Bang, with modifications moving the 30min counter from 12 to 3, and the date from 3 to 4.5. I am not reading complains about that design/execution. Hope this time, our rep-makers did a better job. This breitling looks a lot more complicated, a real puzzle.

ximenes Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 The big date Bentley looks great! I'd like to upgrade to this one soon. Of all the watches I wear the Bentley draws the most stares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 So its time for the "small" big bang!! Lets hope so i woud go for that in a sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'm with Woody on this... I'd love to see a blackbird made. And I also have a weakness for the BigDate on the dial... that is something that has hooked me recently... If this rep is reliable and can hold up to general and daily wear without destroying itself, I'm gonna have to get one.... My first breit mebee?

Thats right, but problems begin when moving running seconds, because it puts most strain on the movement. As long as running seconds stay at nine everything was fine ... only time will tell are these any better than 7750 with sec-at-6 regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I do hope it is a redesigned movement. I would love a solid Big Date movement. It would allow for a number of new reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I do hope it is a redesigned movement. I would love a solid Big Date movement. It would allow for a number of new reps. And it would need to be redesigned to copy the subdial spacing of those new reps, most of which would be copies of ETA 2894 and FP 1185 based watches.

JWR Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I hope that one can get the seconds-at-3 sans big date for two words: ALINGHI POLARIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I hope that one can get the seconds-at-3 sans big date for two words: ALINGHI POLARIS. That would be great, and it's the tip of the iceburg, as long as the spacing is adjusted: VC Overseas Chrono Tag Monaco Breitling Montbrillant FM Conquistador Chrono/big date curvex chrono and on and on and on.... Maybe even the Mare Nostrum if thickness is not an issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Damn, I was hoping for less gaudy watches and more new items with understated elegance (the war against bling is a losing battle I guess). How about an IWC Mark XVI or a non-Cousteau 3548 Aquatimer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvspl Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 This watch looks great but 2 things. 1) Why the Hell can they not double AR coat this crystal i mean come on the steelfish and evo got it why can't this. 2) Is it me or does the white inner number scale seem thicker than the original and previous version. Either way this is a for sure purchase for me, very nice looking piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
