The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I own a Breitling Bentley 6.75 in mint condition. (just returned from BUSA with full service and polish). I have owned the watch for a few years and while I think it looks awesome, my tastes are changing a bit and now might be the best time to sell it.

Other watches I am interested in are:

Omega Ploprof
Vintage Rolex 1680 or 1675
Rolex Daytona
Rolex Datejust II (41mm)

Anyway, I have an opportunity to pick up a ploprof at a good price, but would probably go ahead and sell the B4B to help finance it.

Any thoughts?

I'd take the Ploprof in a heartbeat..... But then the Ploprof is one of my all time favourite watches.

Didn't even need to think about that one.

Thanks Driver....I know you like it (even had/have one on hold for a while). I think the Ploprof is a far superior watch with the in-house movement. The B4B serves as my "night on the town" watch becasue its flashy and get attention. Im getting a little older and don't require as much attention any more My only fear is that I will miss the Breitling and wont be able to replace it for what I sell it for.

I voted no because it seems you have a Deepsea already in your collection based on your sig... Of course two different watches but nevertheless I would say no need for another diver that's capable of enormous depth...

The ploprof is a polarizing design nevertheless and I wouldn't fancying one myself but now if you're talking a vintage 1680 or 1675 then maybe it might be a different story... personally I fancy the 5513s

I wouldnt just because I think the Ploprof is one of the uglier watches that are available. Value-wise, ive got no idea.

Jlee has a good point as well. Youve got a nicely rounded collection as-is.

I agree with RJ, I think the Ploprof is one of the ugliest, if not THE, ugliest watch every produced. I don't care about it's history or functionality, it's a putrid looking hideous pile of crap IMO of course.

Sergio, I LOVE to read your posts!! I don't post much & when I saw this thread, I just kinda shook my head & moved on. Opinions are like a**holes, everybody's got one one, and I was going to keep mine to myself. But it is ugly...to me.

Regardless, if the poster likes it, then go for it, I have to wonder though, when you decide to sell it one day, I gotta wonder how that'll go.

I wouldn't do it. If you're looking for a change though, what about IWC?

I'm glad to provide some entertainment for ya



I always have an opinion and most would say im an a**hole so you're right on the money!!!

I'd rather wear a digital calculator watch than a proroff. Don't do it OP the B4B is a zillion times nicer.

Gotta agree with RJx3 and Serge on this one. The Ploprof is one of the ugliest watches I have seen. If you are thinking about moving your B4B for a diver...there are tons of options out there.

Yes, and I don't even particularly like the Ploprof.

Even better would be the vintage 1680 or 1675 mentioned in your first post.

+1 but at the end of the day its ultimatelly down to yourself. I personally would have the daytona. Bear it mind that, as stated above, you have a deep sea. Good luck in chooseing!

What a polarising watch! Personally i love the Ploprof and hate all the Bentleys. I'd go the switch in a heartbeat.
