The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Have just been bought a present of a Breitling watch.
The only thing is that I cannot find find it listed anywhere.
It is a Bentley Flying B tourbullion, the one with the oblong case.
Have asked various people if they have heard of it or an idea of cost, but no one knows.
Can anyone help me or is it fake.

Flying B isn't tourbillon.
Post some pics.

and if it was, that would be some present.....about £50,000 worth!!!!

Fake I'm afraid, more like £5.00

Agreed. Only Bill Gates and his friends would give away a Tourbillon as a gift...

... and to be fair, even an "ordinary" genuine Flying B would be one heck of a present! £6K min.

Thank you all for your replies, but I ought to point out that the watch that was bought for me was from one of my family, albeit a bit of a recluse, to which that amount of is petty cash to him.
I have been in touch with a breitling dealer, who says that from my description, it is the genuine article.
I should also say, that I have two other breitling watches, one cartier, one hublot, one bulgari, plus others, all bought by the same person.

I think I'd find a new AD - if you have an AD that can confirm from a description that your Flying B Tourbillon is real I would be amazed because 1) no AD is going to confirm fake or genuine without handling and 2) there is no such watch as a Flying B Tourbillon.

As has been mentioned

OK so it may well be a genuine Flying B.... BUT it won't be a Flying B Tourbillon as they don't exist I'm afraid. (Mind you, if it is a genuine ordinary Flying B, then it's still a great watch. As the others have said, a trip to an AD will sort it out for you).

Don't be shy, post some pictures up! You wouldn't be the first to post a replica on here..

That's a hell of a relative if those are all genuine watches! I need some like that.

Let's just wait for the pictures and see just how real this "Tourbullion" is.

If some one can tell me how to post picture of the above, it would be appreciated.

Since this Forum software that I am using doesn't allow uploading yet in current versions (The PhpBB3 that is in Beta right now will allow image uploading!) We have to upload images to a third-party site like Photobucket.com in order to upload images.

1. Go to http://www.photobucket.com and open an account.
2. Upload your images there.
3. Get the code from that page where it says "IMG Code - Forums & Bulletin Boards" And paste that into your post, and voila! Your photo will appear.

So what made you believe this one was a duffer? If the relative had given you all those others before (and presuming they are genuine!) I'd be surprised if you were to be subsequently given a fake, especially by a wealthy relative. It just doesn't add up!

Maybe it's just me but if I was going to give someone a nice watch for a present I'd make sure to give them the proper box, papers etc to go with it. It completes the gift.

I look forward to seeing the pics!
