Breitling for Bentley GT question.
I just purchased a Bentley Motors GT, Model D13362.
My question is related to the box and other packaging, - that is whether this watch came with the regular dark green
bakelite Breitling box, or was it issued with the "Breitling for Bentley" packaging?


Any insight would be greatly appreciated


Thanks!!!

I've never seen a green bakelite box - they were all black as far as I recall. Outer packaging varied over the years.

HI Roff! The box I have is deep green, and it does look black under certain conditions.

The reason for my question was that all the boxes for Bentley models I've seen all say "Breitling for Bentley"
on the top of the box as well as in the padded area in the lid. I was just wondering if I had the "correct box"
for this model watch. Is there a way to tell the date from the model number on the back of watch...?

Thanks!

My bracelet is dated 4304, so it was made sometime in Nov '04

Roff - once again, thanks for the help!


... any idea when they started using the Breitling for Bentley box?
