Gorgeous!
I just recently bought my first Breitling (a SA), but I am already looking to pick up a Bentley in the Spring. I am undecided between the Motors T and the 6.75.
Try not to blind yourself with the Bling!

Finally got around to taking a couple quick wrist shots with my iPhone. I purchased this watch two days after Christmas I will take some better pics later as I need to buy a new camera. http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo67 ... Watch1.jpg http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo67 ... Watch2.jpg |

That's funny I am looking at my next which will be the stainless SA with batons-white dial on bracelet! Def go for the 6.75 the Bentley watches should be all polished in my opinion! |

GZ, I bought the SS Black Dial/Batons SA. I dont think you can go wrong with either dial colour, just a matter of preference I guess. I have not received my SA yet, still waiting for that call from the AD! That will be a happy day! The reason I am undecided on the Bentleys is because I like the bezel on the Motors T (in terms of style) better than the bezel on the 6.75. However, the Motors T seems a bit busy to me sometimes and I like the less cluttered face of the 6.75. Also, I think it has been mentioned here before, but I think I can get the Motors T polished out if I decided on that one. Were you set on the 6.75 or did you have a similar dilemma? In any event, I am sure I will end up with both at some point so this concern may be moot.

Here might be an idea you may be able to purchase the bezel of the Motors T from Breitling and put it on the 6.75. I used to be biased on the bezel on the 6.75 but have become quite fond of the bezel on the Motors T also.The less cluttered face was exactly what caused me to decide on the 6.75 over just the plain motors. I really was never as drawn to the Motors T due to the brushed finish. Although the more I see it the more it grows on me! HAHA. |

That is a good idea. Do you know if the bezels are interchangeable that way? Would it be difficult to obtain a Motors T bezel? Breitlings are like crack! You're always plotting the next trip to the "dealer" for your next hit! |

I gotta imagine they are interchangeable because the watches are the same case size I believe and the bezels I think come off by removing the screws on the side of the bezel all the way around it. However, I do not know if taking of a bezel messes with water resistancy or not. I bet you could purchase a bezel from Breitling just like purcahsing extra links or something or a new crystal if you scratched it. I bet Roff, Driver or one of those guys will be by soon to answer you for sure. If you do get the 6.75 and swap the bezels I better get some pics first!!! Since it was my idea and all haha! |

Awesome choice. When I bought my white dial batons SA a month back, I had planned on buying a 6.75 also. I went with the Panerai instead of the 6.75 but initially I was having so much trouble choosing my Breitling dial colors. I wanted the white/silver dial 6.75 but also wanted the white dial SA. I definitely didn't want to have two white dials so I picked the SA up while I decided as it was more versatile. I still plan on picking up a 6.75 one day and even though im sure the resale will suck, I may choose the blue dial as its just an incredible color. |

Congratulations! A beautiful watch, my favourite Bentley, too! Apart from everything else about the watch, I love the back! That movement with the big date is one of my favourite as well! Wear it happily and in good health! Cheers, Carl |
