I like it. Reserving more aggressive response pending the ransom amount required to liberate one for personal use. :wink: :drool:

I'm neutral on this one, can't say I love it, but I don't hate it either. I still prefer the cleaner look of the Motors.

This one isnt too bad, although I prefer the Motors T bezel to this one.

Like it! Shame it's not an inhouse movement, but the outer looks is very nice.

It's definitely a different look from the Bentley line! Can't say how I feel about it either way, may need to see this one in person before the ultimate opinion can be formed!

I like to add my two cents in. After seeing the full picture, my impression was they took the monbrillant legende concept slaped it on a bentley watch. Coupled with the fact that it has no in house movement (like all the other new watches for 2010) my conclusion is that I'm not going to go out of my way to spend my money on it. That said, I'm still like the older models :lingsrock:

+1

I think its the red hands which I don't like. I'd prefer them to be silver/chrome with the red highlights left for the dial.

I guess it might then look too much like the Motors.

Splendid!

As is well known, I’m a fan of the GT, and really dig the contrasting subdials in the Bentley case.

But I think this piece has its own thing goin’ on. The centre dial and the way those lines radiate up to “Breitling” just under the logo is very cool!

Not bad although it would be better with an in-house movement. Massive at 48.7mm but I can admire from a distance :wink:
