Does anyone know if the case and bezel are the same for the Bentley motors and 6.75?
Catalog shows both are 48.7 mm...that does not necessarily mean they have the same case and bezel though

thanks

No, they dont use the same case - the 6.75 case is fractionally thicker.

Pretty sure the bezels are identical. I have both and they certainly look identical.

Many Thanks.
I have not ventured into Bentley too much. I have one model. Starting to look better to me every day ... :)

I have a Motors T and have had mixed thoughts about the "engined turned bezel". I found a bezel off a 6.75 on eBay and had my AD swap them for me. It gave the watch a completely different feel to it but the 6.75 bezel had the slightest bit of play to it so I swapped it back to the original. The play wasn't too bad. Aa a mater of fact, I was at my AD looking at some Bentleys and noticed that some of them had a bit of play in them.

Here are some pics.
