recently returned a 6.75 because of several faults. Now have option to repurchase. Definitely want a black dial. Deciding between: 6.75 Motors Barnato Racing Supersports (2012 with speed bracelet) I have a small wrist, early 20s, purchase is a graduation present, will be wearing watch in law school. What do you guys think? If any other model stands out, then please do let me know. Will post pictures of purchase once decided (within 10 days). So you all have an input in this. Thank you |

Narrow it down to the one or two that you really like. Don't rush on a big decision like this is my advice... |

Well ultimately only you can decide.....BUT if it was my money, out of those I'd still go with the 6.75..... as I own one myself anyway! The GMT is way too big IMO with the integrated bracelet - the lugs are very long and if you have a small wrist it'll look daft. I don't like the subdials on most of the Barnato models - too gimicky IMO. I've warmed a bit to the Supersports, but only in the "sensible" colours - the red ones look horrible. .... so that leaves the 6.75. However, if it was my money, I'd go for a Motors (I have one of those too), because it has the 30 second chronograph which you won't find in any other model. And if you wanted to tone down the bling, you could always go for the Motors T. The engine turned bezel and semi brushed case and bracelet gives a very different look. But as I say, ultimately only you can decide. |

lets remove GMT, and add Motors. I don't like Motors T because I prefer the knurled bezel design. also, have they phased out the Motors this year? Can't find it in the new catalogue, but still included on the website. |

I went with the 6.75, but my next choice would have been the Supersports. That's a pretty big watch for a small wrist, but I can't fault you for wanting one because I think they are great. |

6.75 = huge date window. |

I would try and hunt down a silver dial Mark VI if I were I'm the same boat. Great size and you could probably get one for a steal |

has the motors been updated for this year (like the 6.75 did by getting thicker chrome subdial rings)? Is it discontinued? |

Current Motors is the Motors Speed which was introduced a couple of years ago. 'Regular' Motors is discontinued http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... y_196.html http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... y_205.html |

The Motors (Speed) is discountiued as is the Motors T (Speed). But the Motors is easier to find than the T. I recently ended up picking up the Motors T and the GT Racing. I have pretty skinny wrists too and the GT Racing, or the GT if you like the polished look, looks and fits a lot better for me. While I can wear the Motors T I feel a lot more comfortable with the GT R. I would suggest that you take a look at the GT model. Here is both of them side by side on my wrist. Attachment: Both.jpg

don't really like the GT. I like the centered logo and 3/6/9 subdial arrangement. |

Between the ones you mention, the supersports, no question about it. Nice dial, useable complication. I really like it. Im with D8 though, only in a normal color. |
