The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Well, my fellows, I need your help fast. I have heard there is a Breitling for Bentley Mark IV with moon phase. Can you tell me about it? When was it made? How accurate was it, including the moon phase and should I feel good about buying one, used, if from a trusted dealer?

Breitling for Bentley Mark VI Complications 19 and Complications 29 - first is semi perpetual, second is perpetual (and a lot more money). Nice watches, but not good sellers because of the cost. The moonphase is a standard 29 1/2 day cycle so has an error of approximately 0.04 days per cycle. The Complications 19 is the same movement as the Olympus models.

If you can get it at a good price from an AD then go for it. The Mark VI complication 19 is my favorite Breitling, it's a little overpriced but it's a gorgeous gorgeous watch. I am a big Olympus fan and the Mark VI is perfect.

Well, brothers and sisters, I've an opportunity to get a Bentley Mark VI moon phase at a price I can (barely) afford. Not an AD, though, but it might be worth the try. Aren't any of the non-AD's worth the money? stephenhenry

I really like the watch, but the AD price is beyond my means.

From Roff's article (link below)

There are two types of perpetual – the semi perpetual which can handle everything except leap years, and the full perpetual which can also handle the 29th of February.

Thanks, Roff. I'll need to be in a concentrating state of mind to read your article, but I did read it.

What do you and the rest of the regulars think about Ashford Watch sellers? Honest.

Some ADs might be willing to sell for essentially their cost - I got a regular Mark VI at cost. That is about what the gray market dealers are doing.

No personal knowledge with Ashford.
