To go along with the review written a while back I have a video review for your viewing pleasure (or not!). This is still one of my favourite gents watches out there but I am selling to make room for a new Breitling for Bentley Motors. The large dial is beautiful and the loupe that comes with it is testament to that. Hope you enjoy the review. The beautiful Sinn 6100 Manual Wind Regulateur.

Analyzing a Fake SuperOcean Steelfish X-Plus Video
Posted by The Breitling Source under Breitling , General PostsNo Comments
In one of my recent videos, I’ve examined a SuperOcean Steelfish X-plus Replica. This watch is very convincingly real, even though it is clearly a fake. Considering the low quality of fakes that many get duped by on ebay, a high quality fake like this might easily make it into someone’s collection posing as real.
I want to make sure everyone out there is aware of the quality of fake Breitlings now. These fakes cost a fair bit of money, selling in the $150-300US market, depending ont he movement you request. They are available with genuine Swiss ETA movements! The rotors and movements are not elaborately decorated as all Breitlings are, but there are many many similarities, and the dials are quite good. Watch the video and see the level of detail these Chinese fakes now have.. its astonishing!

TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph/Grande-Date
Posted by The Breitling Source under Tag Heuer , Watch Industry News1 Comment
Tag Heuer has a couple of new models coming out… both of which I am quite excited about indeed! I’ve always liked the Carerra, but thought it was a little bit small… now Tag has jumped on the big watch bandwagon (well, not THAT big) and released the new Grand Carerra and Grand Carrera Grande-Date. That’s a lot of Grand!
The Grand Carrera is a VERY nice watch, absolutely stunning dial with exposed steel with circular graining on it.. very nice. A large 43mm diameter COSC certified Chronometer… KILLER looks. I love it. Featurs a Tag Caliber 17RS and sells for a cool $4,495. This puppy will make a nice addition to my collection. Oh yes.. Dials in Black and Silver.
The Grand Carrera Grande-Date is ALSO nice.. in fact, nicer i think, but wish it had the 43mm instead of the 42.5mm that it has. This one has an additional color, Brown.. as shown. This guy has the Tag Caliber 8RS, and also has the really nice Applied Tag logo… starting to remind me of Breitling!!! But I love the exposed silver with circular graining on it!! I love it!! This one has a cool big date complication but no Chrono.. and adds a GMT indicator which is housed in a little window… NICE! This bad boy will set you back $3,495 at MSRP.
Both watches are Water resistant to 100m. Get ’em while they’re hot!
