yodap Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hi guys... I really don't know why people buy these models in replica... The seconds aren't running in the correct place, and THEY DON'T HAVE A 30 SECS CHRONO! INSTANT GIVEAWAY! If you like bentley models, go for the 6.75 or the GT! (or the flying B chrono, but it's a bit other style...) Hope this helps people who want to buy a new Breitling for Benley... Greetz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 The Motors, GT and 6.75 all have bezel width issues (white area is too thick and not curvend like the gen) as well as moving crystals when you turn the bezel (gen crystal shoudnt move right?). Did this change? My good friend has a genuine Motors and it is AWESOME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yes, i know all this stuff you mentioned, almost every people think that it's a HEV on the left side, but it's the gearing system... even the 6.75 and the GT aren't perfect but they are a LOT BETTER than the motors. If I'd buy a GEN bentley, I'd choose the motors too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sul Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 The seconds aren't running in the correct place, and THEY DON'T HAVE A 30 SECS CHRONO! Thanks but I don`t care You don`t have to run chrono all the time. Overall rep 6.75 Quality is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoKing Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I agree, nothing sreams fake like a gleaming BM or BM-T! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFAN Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 There are plenty of flaws with all the Bentleys but they are soooo good to look at anyway I could care less. If you're passing your reps off as gens you probably have a small penis and no one is going to notice your chrono is not a 30 secs anyway. To each his own though.

RLudlowe Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 The seconds aren't running in the correct place, I do wonder why this is, they could always use the movement from the 6.75 big date - Then again, Bentleys are so sparkly and complicated only a real WIS is going to notice the chrono arrangement. Most people are just "OMG! Is that a Breitling?!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are just "OMG! Is that a Breitling?!!!" Actually, spotting gen Breitlings is not that rare. Spotting gen Breitling Bentleys, on the other hand, is a rare event. It's a flashy "I've got money" kind of watch that only seems suited to a particular kind of person, so I become especially critical to size up the wearer and whether they are genuine. My own personal opinion: don't wear a Bentley unless you can really pull off the look, which means you can probably afford the car to go along with the watch. I wouldn't say that about other watches inspired by cars, such as the Ferrari or Porsche, but with Bentley it just seems in poor taste. Just my personal opinion.

I would agree only in the way that other flashy watches are harder to pull off. But a gen steel Bentley can be had for around 6K, which doesn't put it beyond your typical engineer or real estate broker, especially if they're dressy. Hell, I've seen warehouse workers blow 6 grand on a TV set, through the miracle of easy credit. You don't need to be in the Bentley car class to pull off a Breitling Bentley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you share with us what is in your collection, and I'll be glad to share my commentary on your taste, and question some of the choices you've made. If you compare the Motors T to some of the new Breitling reps, it doesn't compare as well, but if you consider when it came out a year or so ago, it wasn't too bad. I still work mine into the rotation as I have a big wrist and can pull it off (as well as the income). None of my associates are WIS. Many time the details (flaws) that we think are so obvious to us, go un-noticed by the uninitiated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reps are good, espeically after a decent AR coating. Again wear it as a rep and you're fine, try and fob it off as a gen and you're instantly asking for trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just began to collect reps, after 1 month of comparing the bentleys (i like them the most, next will be i think a BCE) i found the 6.75 the best deal. I did also collect reps, but not the HQ ones, only asians, but I have round 50 pieces of 'em . I say everyone that my watch's fake, but NOBODY believes, in my country there aren't too much super reps... I think in other countries (especially USA) there is the problem different: no one believes you that you've got the real thing, so let's say, I'm lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 dead giveaway or not ... i don't care i can pull it off so that makes me cooler than everyone else just this afternoon, i was wearing mine while i ate lunch @ a local restaurant this guy was walking past me when he stopped dead in his tracks to look @ my wrist we exchanged a few pleasantries & he asked me where i got it from so i told him to go to www.rwg.cc & look around ...

rmcraig Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think in other countries (especially USA) there is the problem different: no one believes you that you've got the real thing, so let's say, I'm lucky Oh, really? That has not been my experience, and I live in the USA. My collection contains 50+ watches (1/3 gens of various value, and 2/3 reps). Nobody has ever question me whether my watch is rep. I usually manage to get compliments about my watches. I do select watches that suit my taste, and are reasonable for someone of my age, profession, and income. I'd be surprised if anyone I know is really aware of rep watches (except that there are a lot of fake rolexes - that why I seldom wear one - many people do assume that a rolex could be a fake). The Motors T is the only Bentley that I own. I do not care for the bezel on the other Bentleys. I like the machined bezel face on the Motors T. I am willing to overlook some flaws at the price that I purchased the watch (less than $230usd new shipped). I admit it is only worn on certain occasions, but I intend on keeping it in the collection. Fot the money, it is a lot of watch. I do agree that if someone is just getting into Breitlings, there are much better choices out there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
