Do you mean you want to know whether it is real or fake and whether you should buy it? Or, whether you should buy it as a matter of taste?

If the question is a matter of taste, I am looking at buying my next Ling (actually still waiting on my first to arrive) and I want a Bentley. Still undecided as to the Motors T or 6.75. But I think the Bentleys are gorgeous watches and I think you are making a good choice.

If the question is whether it is real or fake. I am by no means skilled at deciphering this yet. However, the pictures posted are real pictures and not stock images and from what I can tell it looks real. But again I am a neophyte at this and perhaps you should wait for some of the more senior members to comment.

I believe the watch is authentic. I mean as far as taste of watch and price involved? Thanks

That's only something you can answer I'm afraid. Personally I love the Bentley models, but some people probably don't. If you like it and can afford it then I'd say buy it. The best way to determine whether it's good value is just to compare to other ones for sale on eBay.

I just want to know what other people think about it. Is this a popular style or are other styles more popular?

It's a beauty and 100% genuine.
He states that he has the papers.
Ask him photo of the open warranty, if he doesn't have it or it's wrong, the price is too high.

I just used your link to eBay, and it tells me bidding is closed for that item.
That is one gorgeous watch! To answer your question (had the bidding not been closed, of course): YES!
The only one I like better is the Bentley 6.75. The dial colour on them is gorgeous!
Cheers,
Carl

That watch was and still is my grail. It is my favorite watch and the pics looks 100% genuine.

Its a big watch, so know that going in, but if you can handle the size, it doesn't get much better than that copper dial (ya I know they call it bronze, but it is different than the other bronze dials, this one is warmer and more radiant and should be called Copper, the other bronze dials are cooler brown and more accurately "bronze")

There is a seller LawrenceB on TZ selling one. No affiliation, just a heads up, proceed with the usual cautions.
