Hope this doesn't bore you guys, oh and sorry for the large photos

Anyhow I have been a member on here for about half a year and would like to say thanks to many of you for helping me decide on my new LING. Special thanks to the admin, acceldebt, ewen, altair, carlhauss, ron and if I missed you I am sorry!

I initially went to the ad with the chronomat evo in mind and ready to put the money down. I then came across the bentley motors and after I tried it on it was love at first sight. I always thought the 48.7mm was too big just by looking at it but after I put it on it felt just right on my wrist. I then decided to order the motors instead BUT not all was lost as I convinced my brother to buy the chronomat that I was originally going to walk away with. We ended up leaving with both on our wrist and big smiles :D Hope you guys enjoy the pictures and thanks again!

Welcome me to the full ling club fellas! 8)

Awesome!!! Both are great.

I have to say, as amazing as the Motors in. I still think the Chrono Evo has a nicer case. Too bad it is not as well made as the Motors.

Did you notice that the Motors has a much smoother crown? Seconds hands seems to glide more.


Must be a tough choice choosing in the morning :D

Altair,

Thanks! They are both nice pieces. Heck if I had it my way I would buy all the models like everyone else wants to on the board here!

I like the details on the evo also. If they had a 48mm size that would be the icing on the cake!

Congratulations to both you and your brother! Both pieces are really great and you've taken great pics.

And yes, wouldn't we all like a full size Chronomat... :)

Thanks stutzer. I have my eyes on a 6.75 in the near future also. It was definitely a hard choice between the two.
