I ran across what looks to be a great deal on a Bentley Motors on AuthenticWatches. I am aware that you don't get a Breitling warranty, but none the less it is the cheapest ive ever seen a new one for sale. I have read the posts on the negative aspects of the gray market, but what do you guys think based on a 47% discount.

Also, ive seen Motors T in Anthracite, but never on a Motors.

Thanks for the help!!

It is a great deal, but I would just hope nothing goes wrong with it. After reading about the one member on here who got 3 Skyracers from one grey market dealer and all had faults, I don't think I could risk it. If you do buy it, spend the extra $200 and get the one on the black croc strap.

If you're aware of the pitfalls of buying from a grey market vendor (which it sounds like you are), then it's a great deal. Best price I've seen on one of those for a long long time.

I have read about members here who have had very bad experiences with authenticwatches, after the crazy stories i have heard would not personally have bought anything from them. Like it says in Murphys law; "Anything that seems to good to be true, usually is"

If this is a ex-problem watch with a repair history and polished serial numbers, it is not worth it if you ask me, the watches from this shop tend to just break and when you send it in to get it repaired it is always your own fault. Then you pay huge repair bills because nothing is covered by their fantastic "3-year warranty" and you end up repairing it on a AD.

Just search on this forum on other peoples experiences.
