crampy 0 Posted March 9, 2012 I had a gorgeous Breitling Montbrillant Datora (black face) with a stainless steel band that I had purchased from Silix. It worked perfectly for nearly a year before dying a week ago. Silix generously offered to repair the watch and have it sent back to me. But rather than taking that route and being "watchless" for a month, I'm thinking of just purchasing the same one again. It appears though that everyone is sold out. One dealer actually claims that the factory is no longer making them. Does anyone know what's going on, or better yet where I can purchase my beloved watch from? Thank you!

Luthier 1 Posted March 9, 2012 Try Mary, somebody bought Datora from her recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crampy 0 Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks, I sent her an email. My only concern is that in this review the outer dial's fonts didn't match the genuine. Perhaps she can request the manufacturer to adjust that, let's see. If there's any other recommendations in the meantime please let me know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted March 9, 2012 You really think "manufacturer" will make special dial for you? It's a REPLICA, mate, get what you can, while you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rav747 0 Posted March 9, 2012 Honestly, I have a detora from Mary over a year ago for my dad and its flawless. Only the ar is blah(such is the case with all navi type Breit), but other than that all numbers match up as they should. Superb watch Imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worst case scenario I'll just keep looking for someone that has the outer dial's font correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dendo 93 Posted March 9, 2012 I got this one from Robert (RIP) - it was a one-off. Works perfectly. Love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rav747 0 Posted March 9, 2012 then what are you going to do about the spacing between the numbers and the outer bezel. and then there is the font of the subdial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crampy 0 Posted March 9, 2012 Down from the glen had one for sale a little while back Thanks, I've sent him a message. If anyone has any other suggestions - please let me know. By the sounds of it everyone uses the same manufacturer, who has stopped producing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
