I've been enjoying my Super Avenger for a while and have noticed nice watches when I go out all the time now. Definitely a fun hobby!

After a friend noticed my new watch, we talked about his collection. I wanted to get into a Bentley 48.xx MM originally but I later decided to start off with an SA to see which kind of Bentley I should get.

My friend let me look at his 2 Breitlings and let me take some pictures. These were gifts from his GF for his Birthday.

After taking the pictures, I tried figuring out which model they were. What threw me off was the the tourbillion at 6 o'clock. It does not resemble the Mulliner, and I doubt he'd have 2 of those rare pieces.

Here are the pictures, what model is this?

I couldn't believe they would tell me it's real. I cannot find any sources that this was even offered.

I wouldn't dare tell him, or ask if he knows!

Total garbage. I've seen the date count up to 38 on these models.

Unless your buddy's GF is a CFO of a Fortune 500 or independently wealthy, it seems unlikely she could purchase two authentic models...for that sum of money, you could purchase a Ferrari...

I posted in the vintage 1st on accident, noticed that, deleted the thread (I thought) and made the one in the correct section. Apologies.
