I've inherited what is obviously a fake from my uncle but would like to wear it in his memory.
On the back is stamped Bentley Motors Special Edition by Breitling A25362
The problem is the bezel and glass are missing.
Does anyone know where I can pick up replacements ?

Cheers

Welcome to the forum.

I think you're up for an impossible task. You'll have a big problem locating parts for a fake as no watchmaker / service center will help you and you can send it in for repair - again, they won't touch a fake.

I think the best thing to do is to remember and honour your uncle without the watch, and then save up for a real one and keep that as a personal memory.

I totally agree with Aleister on this one.

I can understand your sentimental attachment to it, but fakes by their very nature have no backup network or anything in the way of spares. If I was you I'd just keep the watch in a drawer as it is for sentimental purposes.

However, if you are determined to fix it up you could always contact one of the multitude of fake watch forums out there on the internet.

I guarantee that if you managed to find genuine Breitling parts to fit (which is highly unlikely), the parts alone would undoubtedly cost many times more what the watch itself is worth.
