richard lawton Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi All Just received the new Breitling Bentley, and I am really impressed I tried on the original at my local AD, and really liked the watch, this replica is no disapointment at all. Will let you know if I have any problems but for now everything is working fine, chronograph perfect also +3-4 secs per day Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Congrats on your new purchase What's up with the date though? That 0 is wonky, are all the left side date numerals like that? it would bug the hell out of me if they were..... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Taken Care of. I have the same questions. It looks really good with the possible exception of the date area. Are the digits out of whack and how good is the date font? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 You are the first on the forums to get one.....mine should be here today as well....same dial.... The datefont is not as dark as the gen,but pretty good,as long as the finish is similar to the gen (a work of art) i will be happy....

richard lawton Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Mickey, Funny after I took the photos I reset the date, and it really is 100% OK If I get chance I will retake the photos, but the quality is outstanding !!!

arminvanbuuren Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 if the quality is up to par with the gen then hey.. 500$ sounds fair.. i mean the dial of the gen is in a class of it's own.. so ye cant wait for ur review mate..

richard lawton Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Mickey Here a new photo All OK Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Wow, that one is looking great. I have never had a big square watch. I know it is subjective but how big does this one wear. As big as a Panerai 44 or 47mm? Ap ROO? The largest rectangle I own is a Conquistador. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Mickey Here a new photo All OK Regards Richard Looking good, straight and true, thanks for the update... Now what you need to do is get outside into some natural light my friend, and take some pictures of this beauty. Not my style of watch, but I can appreciate that it has very high build quality for sure... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The reason for the expense is that the dealers are simply charging more for watches using the seconds at three 7750. The watch is overpriced, and simply not my cup of tea. But, it really does look like a nicely made piece, and that I can appreciate. Congrats on your new watch Richard!

dadog13 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The reason for the expense is that the dealers are simply charging more for watches using the seconds at three 7750. well, the graham's have as well the a7750 with running sec at 3 and they are not priced so much...

Mickey Padge Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I hope you don't mind, I just tweaked your photos a little bit I assume this is the brown dial version, yes? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 This is a very intersting looking watch. I might prefer one in gold. The only thing that would make me hesitate is the fact that I have never given much wrist time to rectangular watches. The novelty wears off for me quickly and that is why I never bought the Bvlgari assioma. This watch is very tempting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Not my cup of tea but the finish looks superbe! Wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Nice watch. Growing on me. Looks nicer on a strap IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yep, it is growing on me, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The maker dropped the 27k for a gen to make his reps with,hence his price. The dial with the MOP numerals and such apparently is the most expensive (makers cost) dial on a rep thus far... Just got my mail,will be here tomorrow.... Was just going to say that this is a watch Dave would appreciate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guanaco Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Very beautiful, I would buy it right now if the damn watch would be in the $250-$300 range, I have the $540 but I'm not paying that much for a $250 watch... such a shame.

Fidestro Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I like it. I am not crazy about the price either, but I find it much more tolerable than the $1000 Hublot BBs available so I don't know why everyone is screaming bloody murder about the price.
