The Breitling Watch Source Forums

as a follow-up on this post i have an interesting question i am looking for some perspective on

after searching fairly high and low for the specific discontinued model i was looking for unsuccessfully, finally ordered it from a grey market dealer as the last option

it took 12 weeks but they were finally able to deliver the watch, i happened to be out of town and got it shipped to me in Portland, OR where things got interesting

my wife took the watch in to the local dealer in Portland who basically said that the finish on the bridge under the bezel wasn't right and must have been modified by someone not Breitling related (an action that would prevent me from having the watch serviced by Breitling in the future) - the car logo on the back also isn't centered which seems a little odd

i took the watch for a second opinion in Los Angeles and the dealer indicated it was an authentic watch, as did a local used watch dealer i have worked with before

the Portland AD comments have somewhat concerned, what i can't figure out given my understanding of the grey market watch sources why any AD or grey market dealer would have work done by anyone by Breitling? could the AD just have had an issue with a watch sourced through a grey market dealer?

Nice watch Transporter. Did you just get it? I got mine last week and love it...

Isn't the Speed bracelet different on the Speed version of the 6.75? Doesn't it now have Breitling for Bentley on the deployment portion of the bracelet?

That's just the newer design clasp, it's not exclusive to the 6.75 Speed.
