I have been offered a Breitling Bentley Motors T A25365 and I'm a little at sea on it.

I've been asked to make an offer but there is blessed little to go on as far as prices go on used models.

The watch in question is in very nice condition, with the white dial and dark brown strap on a deployant, but I am concerned about wear on the machined bezel. On virtually any other watch the bezel could be refinished, but the pattern on this watch's bezel is unique and, I would guess, impossible to reproduce.

I'd hate to make an offer and find out that replacement of the bezel would be prohibitive; if the watch had to go to Breitling for the bezel I'm sure they'd insist on a service whether it was needed or not.

Any thoughts?

Thank you . . .

Plenty of used prices available on eBay and Chrono24, the bezel would need to be replaced if it was that badly damaged, tough to guess without seeing it. Not sure that a replacement bezel would automatically prompt a service, it should be orderable by an AD who can then mount, if not then have it replaced whenever the next service falls due.

I cannot find a single completed auction on eBay for Breitling Bentley A25365, and all the watches on Chrono 24 but one appear to be the Speed version, and that one plain Motors T (sans Speed) is new . . .

Pricing of 25363 and 25365 are not significantly different, same goes for T vs. T Speed.
