Hi guys, does anyone know if Breitling made this watch (white face) with a red date wheel? Any information would be appreciated.

My Motors had a red date wheel.. not bright red, but a dark burgundy almost. There was a fellow here with a Fake 6.75 or Motors or something that had a blazing red date wheel. Are you trying to identify a replica?

I was looking at one in the store and noticed all of their breitlings had black dates, the same goes for the breitling catalog. My boss is real big into watch collecting and I noticed his had like a maroon date, I actually liked the look better then black. It has to be legit but I was just wondering. I was thinking maybe breitling advertises only in black because it's easier to rate the date maybe? Do you happen to have a pic of your motor t with red date?

Thanks in advance

All Bentleys have the dark red / burgundy date wheel. I think that in some pictures, and in some light conditions in the flesh, it can look much darker (not far off black). Genuine Bentleys don't have bright red date wheels.

Agree to that. If you see a Bentley with a bright red / raspberry red date - stay away. I believe I've said this a numerous times in the replica section... :)
