Post subject:  Thoughts on the 6.75
I just got a chance to wear my new Bentely today (way too blingy for work) and I have to say this is truely a fantastic watch!!!

Love:

1- Build quality. The watch is truely up there with the best of them, a step up from the Professional and Navitimer lines.

2- Heft. Just a big hunk of steel.

3-Big date. Makes the watch look that much more special.

4-The movement!!! Sounds and feels very very smooth!

5-The chronograph seconds movement moves smoothely like a Rolex, no tick....tick....tick hack sort of movement.

6-Sheer bling. Actually gets a bit too much attention.

7-The Bi directional rotating bezel. Turns very smoothely and evenly, much more so than on my Evo.

8- Saphire glass. I feel like I can touch the dial. I find this to be the case with most Breitlings that do not have a curved design.

Hate:
1- The wheel design back, as cool as it is the watch just does not sit right on your wrist.

2-Height is a bit too much for me, I actually thought the diameter would even the height but it does still seem just a tiny bit awkward.

Altair,

You can cure that height problem by getting a Super Avenger. After wearing my SA for a couple of weeks when I put on my Bentley it feels very streamlined and flat. It also feels very light.

:lol: I am sure that would cure the height problem but I am taking the less expensive route and getting used to the height gradually.

I was out today smoking with a few friends, there eyes were fixated it on it, I don't know if it was because of how gorgeous it is or because of its sheer size.

By the way have you tried the Montecristo Melenium jar robustos lately?? They have really come along nicely, the one I had today just might have been my best cigar ever!!! That includes the Cuban Davidoffs and 94 Cohiba Lanceros.

Robustos have a great flavor.

I really wish our stupid government would lift the embargo.

Altair,

No I haven't had the pleasure of those particular Christo's and I'm low on Number 2's right now. I've got a box of Cohiba Limitado's coming Monday so they will be great. I also have a few Cohiba Sublimes left that are about 18 months down in the HUMI that are unbelievable. I usually try to keep my box up around 75 cigars at the time of each new purchase and I'm running a little low right now but Monday that will be fixed. The other new Cigar I'm dying to get my hands on are these Cuban Cohiba Maduro's, they make 3 sizes I want the 5 1/2 by 52 I think they are called Magico #5. I think you are the one on this board that has posted pictures of some nice pens if you are you would really like the new Dupont Platinum roller ball pen I got, I think that was you wasn't it ?

Yeah that was me, I am into pens as well. The Duponts are great pens and that Platinumroller ball is super nice, very tempting. Great choice!!!

The Cohiba Maduros have unbelievable potential, but will need some serious aging to achieve their full flavor. What I love about the Monte No.2 is it is great with a little age and fantastic with more.

It is unfortunate, especially sinse US politians are Cuba's best customers when it comes to cigars. Maybe when Castro passes away :roll:

Altair,

I have about 12 Christo #2's right now that are about 9 months old and they are great. I bought a pen box about 2 months ago at my tobacco shop and I'm filling it up now. So far I've got a Gold Dupont, a Platinum and Chinese Lacquer Dupont and the new Platinum roller ball version Dupont. The box has spaces for 10 pens so I have 7 to go. I get one about every 3 months as they catch my eye.

Maybe when the a**hole that's in the White House gets out. I think several people would like to see the embargo lifted. I've always wanted to visit Cuba. I've flown over it, and that's about it!
