Perfectly real and a decent price to boot!
In the Detroit area (lived most of my life there) Tappers up in West Bloomfield can handle most any watch issue. That said, I would not buy from them unless I knew someone (steep pricing)

| Post subject: | Real Bentley GT? |
Hello guys. Was hoping some of you pros could confirm my latest purchase. Pretty sure Im ok, just want some reassurance. Also, I wanted to see if anyone else experienced noise with theirs. I know it is supposed to create some noise, but didn't know how much. My B2 doesn't make a peep, while my Super Avenger is somewhat noisey. Also, what is the best way to ensure the movement on the Bentley is authentic, without sending it into Breitling. This was an ebay purchase (for $3800), so I want to do my due dilligence with the 45 days I have. Last, anything in particular I should know before I take it to my neighboorhood watchmaker for a polish? Thanks in advance guys! I really appreciate the time!

It's real. No need to worry about the movement, despite the scaremongering I have never heard of a movement swap into a real case - easier / cheaper ways to scam people with watches. |

It's real, nice pice too! The local watchmaker should be able to polish it up nicely. I have my local guy do polishes on my pieces too so I don't have to send them in for service. Should be pretty straight forward for them to do |

Thanks BoneDoc. Yes, I live a few minutes from Tappers, but would never buy even a bottle of water from there. They are way over priced, and extremely rude to people they can not immediately profit from. I met an Ebay seller of a Super Avenger there once to verify the authenticity (he bought it there a few months prior), and the Tappers owner and sales person brushed me off, as if I should be ashamed to even ask them to verify the purchase. Thanks for the post. |

Thanks for the post. They were always pretty good to me, but that was a decade ago, so who knows now. They were knowledgeable, in any event. But as well as you know, there are PLENTY of ADs around Detroit, and even more good watchsmiths who are not. |
