JakD 18 Posted September 23, 2020 So as I was browsing through the Breitling section at Silix the other day I noticed this: http://www.silix-prime.es/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=115_125_202&products_id=5541 and I see it says 14 watches in stock. Stock indications can obviously be misleading, but I figure what the heck why not, I email Michelle and to my great surprise she replies it is available! I’m thinking this is too good to be true so I message her back asking if this is the noob factory/maker and if the factory in question is making these as of now. She replies she is not sure about production, and that ”In additional, it’s from the ordinary factory, not very famous, but the quality is good as we have many customers who had good feedback about this model, don’t worry.“ I’m not sure what to make of this, I thought only the noob model was ever made of this watch. Anyone know what this is about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simonix 8,660 Posted September 23, 2020 Silix has every discontinued Panerai “in stock” as well, according to their website?! I find it hard to believe if I’m honest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted September 23, 2020 'Ordinary Factory' lol. @Popperini was right, the factories need some help with PR! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point exactly, 99% of watches on the Silix website supposedly are in stock even if they havent been made for over a decade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol aint that true, and as to which factory this actually is, I’m at a loss. None of the other dealers have this in stock from what I have seen, and if this is not the noob version, which is it? I thought Noobfactory was the only factory that ever made this watch back in the day.. Edited September 23, 2020 by JakD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I’ve seen it, unfortunately it’s high priced and has been butchered by SSTEEL so no one want’s it :( Otherwise I reckon it would have been long gone Besides, I’d rather pay $298 for a new and scratch free watch over $360 for one thats scratched up and worn for years, just depends on how good this Silix model really is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a belter Hadn’t noticed the strap was gen, but to be honest I’ve never had any interest in rubber straps, just not my thing so I’d rather get one on steel These usually sell within minutes so there’s probably a reason it hasn’t sold yet after being out for 10 days now Edited September 23, 2020 by JakD 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
