Hello everybody, Here a small introduction from a Dutchman (currently China) I looked online to find a Breitling forum and indeed there is one. I was offered recently a Bentley Breitling to trade on a old depth. I consider it a real one as his late father got it while buying a Bentley. Althoug I love the style and history of the brand Breitling, I currently prefer the cash it can deliver as the depth was in cash too (sorry for the honesty...) Serialnumber on the back is 13048 and I don't even know what type it is yet. If any of the readers of this introduction know it, than please let me know. The type can not be found by me on this page at least http://www.breitlingsource.com/models/bentley.html And yes, before all think I'm another faker. I have no trouble at all to set it at someone's request at a specific time with a current (dutch) newspaper etc, to show the pictures are fresh and real). Or to present it a Dutch Breitling support store who can tell it is real-or-not. I had also my share of 'quick learning the real from the fakes', but now I'm for business a while in China and the watch is in Holland. So things are a bit less easy to arrange. Here are two pictures. I hope they work, not every internet page is easy opened here http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd27 ... 927030.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd27 ... 926530.jpg Vincent |

It is a fake. Not even Bentley typically hands out $170,000 watches with a car. |

Odd, but there are more things I can not open here online, so I want to check if the viewers can see the pics. |

Vincent Pretty much everything is wrong, but let's stick to the most significant - the opening at 6:00 is supposed to show a tourbillon. It's not a tourbillon. This watch might sell as a fake for as much as $150-$200. The real one retails for $170,000. The 6 and 9 subdials, the bezel, the crown.....pretty much everthing. It is a poor and very common fake. Sorry. |

 Enjoy your time here! As the others have said, it's a cheap Chinese fake with a faux tourbillon and day/month sub-dials rather than a chronograph. These are mass produced in China and typically sold for about $30 in Mediterranean holiday resorts. The fake tourbillon is #1 on my list of tips to spot fakes. http://www.f4buz.com/watches/breitling/fakes/toptips.html Btw, to post a pic, put the link in the Img tags rather than URL.
