Sounds like it was grey market - sellers warranty on that is effectively zero warranty - do you want to drop 100 grand with no comeback??

It also wasn't brand new - it may never have been sold to a consumer but it was likely made 3 or 4 years ago.

Given that they don't even have the watch (it says sold out), the price is rather irrelevant. They could list it for $5,000 when they don't have one to sell.

Depends how you look at it. As a 100k watch, yeah, its overpriced. But compared to the competition, the cheapest Swiss tourbillon will run you about $50k, and thats with a stainless steel case. But considering the fact that the Bentley doesnt have an in-house movement, id say its overpriced.

Yes, it is a manual wind watch as the majority of tourbillons are.
