I have a friend who owns a watch studio and has a used Breitling for Bentley GMT for sale. The watch is pristine and he bought it from the original owner who only wore it 5-6 times. He inspected it before acquiring it and it appears to be immaculate with all of the original packaging and materials. My question to the group is this...for $5K USD, is this a good deal? I'm not that familiar with the Bentley line, so I could really use some direction here. I don't want to let a great deal slip away.

MSRP (with bracelet) is something like 10K. 35% off at the AD + taxes would run you about 7K (lowest price).

I would have to say that at 5K, its a STEAL.
Just make sure all the paperwork AND the serial number check out; you wouldn't want to pay 5K for a fake :(

BTW...I really like that watch :lingsrock:

There is no good replica of this model. This watch is 100% genuine.

Looks awesome. :D

I'm not a huge fan of the Breitling for Bentley series, but this one is amazing. Congrats on a great watch!

without doubt the best of the GMTs. I would personally choose this one myself(white face with speed bracelet). Very nice.

The BforBentely series is my favourite.

As good as Toyota is, Lexus is that much better :wink:
