Comments

The much sought-after Breitling Bentley Motors

Super-striking 49mm chrono face seems more striking than big in our opinion.

Minor issues are that the calculations on the dial and the chrono needle's movement and placement is not the same as the genuine.

With the limits of the existing movement there is nothing that can be done about that, but seeing how the rest of it is so excellent, it is a real shame.

Still, even considering that, with this quality at this price, we feel this is a watch that we can recommend.

The quality of the case, bezel, and clasp are top-quality and beyond complaint

Front and back, this is an ultra-stylish piece!

kanerich さん, すみません. 三萬五千¥ですか. とても高いですね.

$327 USD fyi.

まあ、ブライトリングの箱なしで3万3千円なら、300ドルもしないでしょう。他の人気のアジアン7750の腕時計(Daytona,ChronoAvenger、両方$250-300程度)に比べ、値段の差はほとんどないです。

どうしてそんなに高いと思われますか。

In other words, I'm not sure why you think the price ($295 watch only) is so unacceptable. After all, Daytona, CA's basically cost the same, as does the Navitimer which IMO is not this good.

WOW!!!! :Jumpy:

What a MONSTER!!!!

Definitely one of the most desireable Breitling reps out there.

But look at the case back: SWILZERLAND :black_eye:

Seems like there´s always something they can´t get right. :g:

It's not a mistake, the watch is made at the Swilzerland Watch Factory in China -- ergo, Made in Swilzerland. :D

I am, of course, just kidding.

Honpo is currently offering in Japan this watch + one pam + one vintage rolex for $500 . . . now if Paul would beat that at say $400 we'd really have a crazy sale worth talking about . . .

It´s the same with the Navitimer reps with the fighter aircraft on the case back.

There it´s the wrong "Messerschmitt" spelling.

Such a pity.

These are such beautiful watches. But always those dumb mistakes.

I wouldn´t argue about some 1/100 of an inch here and there.

That´s too much anal for me.

But it´s those flaws that anyone could spot, even if he knows NOTHING about

the brand or even watches..... DAMN!!! Why can´t they get the spelling right?

would have thougt it would have been beter to copy a different version of the Bentley, this is the one which has the 30 second chrono hand (gen), so the movement is a massive flaw!

Just spent the last couple minutes cracking up while reading Eddie's listing for this one. Man, I love that guy!

Yeah I spoke with him via Email/PM shortly after he listed. I asked him was he drinking a little early today and he replied "nah I'm in the airport, you know how boring these places are!"

Eddie is a great guy, good sense of humor, can be very blunt too! Anyway, I pulled the trigger on this guy today. I've been searching for a nice size Breitling for awhile since I sold my Gen Super Avenger. Now it appears I may have found a solution! All I need to source now is an ETA 7753 and I'll be good to go!
