Normally I'm more hanging out at the vintage section but my buddy stopped by my store today and showed me this...

He's a good friend who originally lives in Korea and bought this a few months ago at an AD but didn't bring it into the states... (he studies here). His sister just came back and snuck this in her purse and brought it back for him from home... :shock:

First time showing me today... I didn't realize this thing is HUGE... I can't pull it off... :wowzers

by the way, he dropped it already and chipped a tiny part of the case... :wowzers (nice~~~ going)

sorry for the blurry pics... my hand was shaking because the watch was too heavy... :lol:

I must say its awesome! But I must also say I have the same one. Mine is on the speed bracelet though. You get used to the weight. The key is to have the bracelet or strap adjusted just right. That way it doesn't turn on your wrist... After you get used to it you miss it all the time its not on. I can't wear what used to be normal size watches any more. They feel tiny and non existent to me now. I'm spoiled! :D :lingsrock:

Yea... I know these are dime a dozen around here... :lol:

It was my first time actually checking out the B for B... never saw one in real life until today... it's definitely got good weight to it... feels solid, and I would definitely agree that the strap would have to be adjusted sorta on the tight side to prevent it from swinging around on the wrist... but nevertheless a nice watch...

too bad he paid a bit more for it than if he bought it here... the import taxes in Korea are insane...

I'm a big fan the 6.75 too. So much so in fact that I've got one as well! :thumbsup: Mine's on black croco though -

Having said that if I only had the choice of one Bentley, it'd have to be the Motors as the 30 second chronograph is unique to that model.

That is a stunning watch, I wish I had the wrists to carry it off. Oh well!

My wrists are just under 7 inches and i can pull this off nice. The lugs don't go past my wrists.

The 6.75 is indeed beautiful. Both in white and black. :)
