The Breitling Watch Source Forums

So I went in ready to slap down my $$$ over to my watch guy and then he showed me the MOTORS T and 6.75. I told him that I would be back tomorrow with more cash. ha!!!

So which do you guys prefer? I am planning on getting the white dial in steel. I am reading many mixed reviews about the two. Thanks!

PROS CONS on the two? (Besides the bracelet situation)

I can't really vote as personally I'd say go for the standard Motors for your first Bentley.

Reason being that the 30 second chronograph movement in the Motors (and T) is unique to the Bentley range, whereas the 6.75 has the movement out of the Blackbird. Nothing wrong with it at all, but I personally just like the fact that the Motors is unique in that respect.

However the Motors T is brushed steel and I personally prefer the polished look, and also the knurled bezel on the Motors is a little more distinctive IMHO.

My advice - get a Motors now, and then look to get a 6.75 (for the slightly different look) a bit later!

Get the Motors. The 30 second chronograph is great. Just get it polished and it is a great Ling! Good luck and enjoy it.

Thanks guys. I will keep everyone posted.

And we are currently tie at 4vs4

For the Motors T I really like the caseback and the bezel part is a lil diff although I personally like the MOTORS bezel. So its sort of comes down to this for me. Is it worth the extra few hundred dollars for the case back of the 3 bentleys and two tone bracelet just bc the bracelet on the T is a lil more forgiving or?

6.75, I really like the location and size of the date display.

I was just looking at a 6.75 with the bronze dial on a croc strap earlier today... if I hadn't just bought my Super Avenger 10 days ago I would have walked away with that 6.75. My vote goes for the 6.75.

Got back from stopping by the AD and eating dinner. Finalized my order and put down a deposit first...Will post up pics for you guys next week when it arrive

so which one did u decide to go with, or is it a surprise lol

Guess I was a bit late with my vote, which came down to the 6.75. I like the polished finish and the overall look much better than on the Motors T.

Possibly too late for my vote too...
I went for the Motors T. Slightly left of field, gorgeous case back and I really love the two-tone finish. I'm not a great fan of the knurled bezels on the Motors and 6.75, but thats just me.
Whichever you chose, enjoy, its not really a case of making the wrong choice now is it, they are all beautiful.
