Hello all its been a while but Im back

I have now decided to go out and buy a Breitling Bentley I love the big case watch as I have a navi World and that looks great. What is your opinion with the best Bentley to buy.

I must say I love the Breitling Bentley T Motors with the impressive 48.7 mm dial if anyone has this model some feedback would be great or any other advice on what to buy would be also greatly appreciated

Thanks
Marcus

If you don't mind used watches, and if you can find one, then I'd definitely recommend buying a Bentley Le Mans over all the others. You get the same bezel as the Motors T but with a polished case and bracelet, plus you get a unique dial and the more unique 24 hour movement. Plus it's an LE so that's always a bonus.

I'm still not 100% sure why I sold mine! :lol:

I love the 49mm GMT and the 48.8 6.75. The double date window in the 6.75 is beautiful.

:yeahthat

Le Mans is a clear standout for me (Driver8, you're an idiot :wink: )

As FEAR says the 6.75 large date is a nice feature, I can't get into the GMT.

The bit in blue - all I can say is "Git"! :wink:

The bit in red - agreed on both counts.

Motors T is a smart looking watch. Awesome bezel, and the polished and brushed bracelet/case looks sophisticated. Dial is neat, and there is no distraction of the big date.

i was all about the 6.75 from the beginning, but when i tried on the gmt, i loved it.

i love the fact its BIG, the fact its the only breitling with that movt, its kinda complicated, the 30 second stopwatch, dont see many of them, the rubber is very comfortable.

just an awesome watch.

I wouldn't like to trade away my Le Mans, but if that was out of the picture and I was going for one from the Bentley series I'd heavily consider the Supersport. A bit tempted to rotate the 6.75s towards one, but it won't happen in the near future.

The motors has a 30 second chronograph. I would go with a motors. I think the 20 seconds chronograph makes it unique, as does the big date of the 6.75. but I prefer a smaller date in the position of the motors. Motors all the way!
