Breitling only produced 15 of these for Bentley, and this is #5.  It features  a solid 18K white gold case and band, encrusted with diamonds, a Certified Chronometer fully automatic movement, and "Meteor Grey" dial.  The dial looks charcoal in some lighting, navy blue in others, and more blue-grey in brighter light.  It's far more stunning in person than my photographs can possibly convey, as I'm sure you can imagine.  Here's a quick rundown of all the vitals: "Breitling for Bentley" GT Limited Edition - only 15 Produced Watch is #5 of 15 18K White Gold Case, Crown, & Band "Top" Wesselton Diamonds - factory set by Breitling from the reknowned Wesselton Mine Total Diamond Weight:  5.09ct Average Color:  F Average Clarity:  VVS1-VVS2 Sapphire Crystal Meteor Grey Dial Automatic Breitling Movement Breitling Model Designation:  J13362 Serial #:  2020858 Case size:  44.8mm (not including crown) Total Weight:  270.2 grams (even after allowing 15-20 grams for the movement, diamonds and crystal, the watch features more than a half pound of solid 18K white gold) For those of you not familiar with Wesselton diamonds, the Wesselton diamond mine is located about one mile south of the Dutoitspan, in Cape Colony, on the border of the Orange River Colony in South Africa.  Some of the finest diamonds in the world come from the Wesselton mine, and it's known for the superb white color of its diamonds.  As diamond mines go it doesn't produce a heavy yield, but what it produces is exceptional.  In the details above I used the term "Top" Wesselton - that's not hyperbole.  Diamonds from Wesselton average G-H color, but a small percentage are F color.  These are known as "Top Wesseltons", and represent only a small fraction of what's found there.  The "Top Wesseltons" in this Breitling are factory set - these were not put in after the sale, or by an aftermarket retailer.  It's all Breitling.  In addition to their bright white color, they also feature clarity grades of VVS1-VVS2.  That's only one step away from being internally "flawless".   Even under 10x magnification it's very difficult to see any inclusions whatsoever.  Breitling chose amazing diamonds for this Limited Edition watch, and used them to fully dress the entire 18K white gold band, the watch lugs, and the dial's hour markers.  As I said, the photos don't do it justice - it sparkles brilliantly in any kind of natural light. With a weight of 270.2 grams, the watch weighs well over half a pound.  What I found noticeable was the watch's balance - I've sold watches that weighed just as much that felt like boat anchors because of the weight balance between the case, crystal, movement and band.  This watch feels very well balanced, and doesn't feel as weighty as the 270+ gram measurement might lead you to expect.  So it wears very comfortably for its weight.  As of our last listing for this Breitling, we'd requested all of the original paperwork and documentation from Breitling.  Since posting that last auction, the paperwork has arrived, and we've secured all of the following directly from Breitling: Chronometer Certification for this particular watch Instruction Booklet Sliderule - for learning how to use watch Breitling hang medallion International Warranty Book Additionally, we've gotten a notarized appraisal on the watch, verifying diamond quality and content All of these will be provided to the winner  Please note that it does not come with any extra links, and is sized for a 7.5" wrist - only one link was removed by the original owner, but this link is not available to us.  Please be sure to measure your own wrist to ensure it will fit you.  If you need an additional link (or two), don't hesitate to let us know.  It's quite possible that we can purchase this from Breitling for you.  The watch is in superb condition.  The crystal sapphire is flawless, and the case and band are virtually flawless.  There's a mark at the edge of the anti-glare coating on the crystal, but this is only superficial and on the coating.  This is not in the crystal - again the crystal is not scratched or scuffed in any way. There are no missing diamonds, no loose diamonds, and no issues with any of the diamonds.  There are some marks on the back of the watch case, as shown in the photos, but I think even very picky buyers will be thrilled with the condition.   Please see my feedback and bid with confidence.  I've sold everything from Rolex to Patek Philippe to Breitling to Omega, and we've shipped fine timepieces all over the world, with only happy customers.      Yes, shipping is FREE to all 50 US States, and we'll send this Breitling via UPS Air Express with full tracking and insurance.  In the rare case that full insurance is not available for your particular city, I will personally fly to your city and meet you at the airport terminal, local bank, or an authorized Breitling dealer and deliver the watch in person.    Questions are always welcome, and thanks for visiting!

Combined Shipping: Snappy Auctions insures every shipment, no matter the size or cost, for full purchase value at no extra cost to our customers.

Returns:  Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we want you to be happy.  We will be happy to accept the return of a purchased item whenever there is a mistake on our part, but we draw the line where satisfaction meets sheer lunacy.  We do not accept returns for "buyer's remorse", or in cases where the buyer clearly didn't pay attention to the photos and text and didn't understand what they were buying.  Return shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility, and will not be refunded except in cases where we've made an egregious error. We're nice people:  Yes, really, we are!  And as our feedback record attests, we take care of our customers.  But we prefer not to deal with abusive, irresponsible, or inconsiderate ebayers.  We won't be bullied, and we aren't afraid of negative feedback.  Likewise, we will cancel and block any bidders with questionable feedback records, or who leave verbally offensive feedback for others.  Life is just too short to deal with mean people.
