Great find, Andrew. Thanks.

Personally, it's now a competitor for the blue dial.

Hmmm..., OK...., so those pictures have now made me want to find one IMMEDIATELY!! It's got the same cool effect on the dial that my blue one has, whereby it shines differently in different lights. I feel the need for a second one coming on! :wink:

Sharkmouth,

You're a bad man!!!!!

Though thankfully, the white dial is not as high on my list as the blue and bronze (I have a white CA and 2 black dials already).

Thanks, anyway.

Nick

Looks too light for either of those. Bentleys often have unique colours, so am guessing this is another one - damn nice though!

It appeared like that in the photo.
Photo of the dial alone in the Handbook is darker.

The Breitling for Bentley GT series are the only ones to have the funky colors. When I spoke with the people from Breitling for Bentley they said that the colors of the GT Dials correspond to colors in the range for the Continental GT series of cars... which is why they have the green and red.

But the Motors also has Grey Violet, and the blue of my upcoming 19 is not the 'regular' Breitling Blue.

The Motors and Motors T also has a green option as well.
