Post subject:  Bentley Motors T discontinued?
I've been looking around trying to find a Motors T in either a blue or white dial on a bracelet but it appears that Breitling has discontinued them. I still see it listed on the website but seems that is not a good enough reason for them to keep making it :|

Does anyone have more information on this? Anyone?

Does anyone know as when this was discontinued? Is there a replacement model that has a similar smooth bezel?

Maybe you can find a 2011 model the motors t speed? Pretty sure an ad should be able to source you one or there's always online.

Breitling is never particularly forthcoming with specifics about which models are being discontinued, but I believe that only the Speed variants are now current. They always leave watches on the website until the AD stocks have pretty much sold.

Which is the Motors T Speed? Is it the same at the Motors T listed on their site, which is this one.

I have attached a picture of the one I am looking for (either blue or white dial)

That is the Speed version - chrome rings around the subdials are the most obvious visual cue.

Well if that's now discontinued as well then they all are as this effectively replaced the original Motors T.

Well, before we can tell you you're wrong, it would help to know why you think you're right. You just say that it "seems" and "appears" to be discontinued, but don't explain what you're basing that on. Why do you think it has been discontinued?

I asked the sales rep in the Breitling Botique in NY and I called Breitling in CT and asked if the Motors T was discontunied and they said yes it was. Also I had an AD try to see if he can order one but he was unable to do so.

Well, that certainly sounds like it has been discontinued. Sometimes ADs can be wrong, but if BUSA told you that, that's pretty conclusive. Logically speaking, I should be surprised, because the Motors is a mainstay of the Bentley line. That said, Breitling is notorious for discontinuing perfectly great models.

Well the AD and BUSA were correct if that is what the OP asked - the Motors T has been discontinued.

The better question to ask is whether the Motors T Speed has been discontinued.

Yes, that question sounds more accurate. I shall post back the answer to that question tomorrow.

I was curious and called the Breitling Boutique. The saleslady mentioned that they have the Motors T Speed in stock, I asked her if it was discontinued she said she did not know (you would think this should be common knowledge to them??). She did confirm the Motors T is discontinued.
