yodap Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi all! I think all of the bentley fans are in love with the mulliner tourbillon... However, there was no accurate rep of it till now. Now, i found this one, of course not in super rep quality, but almost good replication IMO: http://www.ioffer.com/i/BERITLING-BENTLEY-...-WHITE-42895861 Flaws: no 30s chrono, automatic (should be hand wound), slow beat movt - no flaw, the gen is slow beat as well no chronograph, no flying tourbillon (it isn't a tourbillon at all), mineral crystal instead of sapphire... But i think a pretty good rep for the money! Does anybody have it of our trusted dealers? Does anybody own this watch? Thanks for the info, waiting for your replies!

jfreeman420 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 That is a horrible rep. Stick with the standard bentley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I think "Almost good quality" is being kind here - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 You're right, but if you think of that there were till now only 2 buck worth mulliner reps out there, this is a big step forward... But what do you think, what's wrong with it? (OKAY, NOT A SUPER REP, BUT NOT THE USUAL CHINESE CRAP...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budda Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Sir this is indeed the usual chinese crap no much more to say ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Guys... I do not agree with you. I'm not a noob, i know the grades of rep watches... But if you look for a mulliner tourbillon,you'll find MUCH worse reps than this... On this one the side rule is accurate, subdial hands are accurate, dial is accurate (not so blingy and precise, but markings are OK), subdials are accurate, breitling logo (wings) accurate, second hand B marking is crappy, movement is crap also, and the band is only laser etched... In comparison with our super reps, it's REALLY A PIECE OF CRAP. But in comparison with the other mulliners, believe me it's a "masterpiece". I'll post you an image of my old mulliner tourbillon, then you'll see what I'm talkin' about... Can anybody of our dealers get one?

RLudlowe Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'll agree, I've seen worse - this one for example - But "not the worst" is not the same as "good" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 CG's, crown, bezel knurls, tourbillon shape, subdials, subsial spacing, green lume, end links, and perhaps the ultimate tell...S/S finish. Advertised as 'Swiss' case...? Unfortunately this comes from the same factory as all the other 100USD Bentley's it really is a poor replica. If you're into accuracy, this isn't the one to buy, if you like the design, it might be worth a purchase, but for 150USD + shipping?!

yodap Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Yes, you're right, accuracy is important to me, but this is the best rep of the mulliner tourbillon now I really like it, and like I mentioned, it's the best now, but i don't want to give 150 bucks for it... So I am asking if someone can get one cheaper? Here's my old bentley tourbillon... : a really piece of crap... This one is much better i think!

b16a2 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I think the accuracy of this one (being better than the other ones you ahve posted) is porbably because the others are just pure fantasy. I would imagine that the makers just made the watch up as they went a long, whereas the closer rep of the Mulliner may have at least been based on pictures of some sort. Try Silix for the rep itself, I can't find the link to his other website, but there is one dedicated to the more affordable replica's.

yodap Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Didn't find his site... and at silix prime there are only super reps... I want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Found it; http://www.watchsilix.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks, I found the model but a bit worse one unfortunately I think I'll wait for that one i've found to get cheaper Thanks 4 ur help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1127 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 it depends on what you think is horrible and what you think is deceant. this watch sucks and wouldnt fool any brietling person who knows anything at all about breitlings. the funniest things for me are the tiny "b" on the case lug on the back sans omega , and the clear back...

yodap Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Man, i know this wouldn't fool anyone... I even don't want to fool anyone! I could do it with my 6.75, but I do not... I know it's horrible in comparison to my 6.75 and any super rep, but it's the best of the bad mulliners... And last, the gen has also a clear back Greetz.
