The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I'm looking to buy my first Breitling and being a big watch type of guy I've narrowed it down to either a Super Avenger, Bentley 6.75 or a Motors.

It will be a daily wearer to work and I wear a suit so don't want it to be too blingy.
I plan to wear the watch on a leather strap and not bracelet.

Out of the three watches, what would you guys say is the least blingy on leather?

Also, with the Super Avenger, what would be the least/most blingy dial combo?

I have a SA and 6.75,on a strap i would say 6.75. The SA needs the pro2 bracelet,just not the same without it.

Least blingy SA would be blue on blue (bleech) most would be white dial on black,i guess.

I'd say 6.75 black dial on a black leather/croco-strap. It's a big watch but it's not as thick as the SA.

The black dial SA with baton/index-markers would probably be the least blingy.

I sold my blue SA (Blackbird too) for a black dial 6.75 and it's perfect. No regrets at all. My wrist is about 7.5" if you want an idea of fit.

Bentley Motors T. The engine turned bezel and brushed finish are much less blingy than the SA, 6.75, and Motors.

I wear the 6.75 Black dial on a black croc and love it.

Here are a few pictures of mine. As RJ said the bezel and brushed finish really tone down the watch. It'll be even less blingy on a black calf.



Here's the same watch with the knurled bezel just to show you how much blingier it is.

Well I have an SA, a Motors and a 6.75, and of those the 6.75 is the only one on a strap (black croco) and that also means it's the least blingy. For a daily wearer I'd definitely go with one of the Bentleys as they are much more slimline than the SA and therefore fit under shirt sleeves a lot better. It's also worth remembering that a strap when worn everyday will only have a finite lifespan so depending on the climate where you live, it may be worth considering a bracelet model. With that in mind I echo RJ's idea of the Motors T as the case and bracelet are both partially brushed, which reduces the bling a little.

I have both the 6.67 and motors, and they are very bling, but it looks good with a suit since only part of the dial sticks out. It has a very prominent wrist presence. But I love the way they look, could be a little smaller but oh well.

I own both as well I have yet to find a shirt or suit the SA fits under with any comfort at all !! Its my short sleeve shirts or T shirts watch . While the 6.75 fits under dress shirts better.

I have skinny wrists, they wall fit under sleeves

Same here. I started rolling up my sleeves when I bought the Motors T. Even though it's a big watch, I think it wears nicely. Here's a wrist shot from
far away to give you an idea of how others will see it on your wrist.
