My son's friend brought a couple of these back from Thailand. The back casing has a racing car on it with these words below the car.

Speed 8

Bentley Le mans

Arnage

Bentley 6.75

Above the car are the words: " Edition Limitee 24 Heures Du Mans."

Around the outside of the back casing are the words, " Chronograph Certifie Chronometre entanche 30m A13352 "

As you can see by the photo below the subdial have the day-month-24 hr Is this Breitling Bentley a replica of an actual genuine Breitling Bentley i have never seen those subdials on any Bentley before? I would be interested in hearing from others. I got this watch as a freebie so i aint complaining either way, just curious if there was ever a genuine like this produced by Breitling. Wanmadtim

I could prob state that its jsut a cheap rep. As with subdials that are day date 24hour. Usually means Faux chronos with cheap movement. Put looks liek a nice piece.

Enjoy it!!

Thanks, i will enjoy it.....I like the overall look of the piece. Actually the day and 24 hr chronos work ( i havent had it long enough to check if the month sub dial is working, although it did set ok.) I have no idea as to what movement is in it, cheap or otherwise. Wanmadtim

The point acidzerocool was making is that when they change chrono's to d/m/d/ it is because they put a crappy movement in it instead of a real chrono movement. Also I've seen a B like that and it was not a solid ss case, is was some coating over brass, very very flimsy. (Not saying that is what yours is, but it appears to be a canal street quality rep.

Nice looking rep. I bought one a couple of years ago. This has a cheap asian movement and faux chrono's. The real one has working chrono's. The rep that is now out is almost exact to the real one with the working chrono's.

It is a "canal street" rep that would never pass the test, but enjoy it nevertheless

You are mostly likely spot on and it is a cheap canal street rep supermanx although the case back on this one is not coated. Thanks to you and acidzerocool for your input. Much appreciated. Wanmadtim
