The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Unusual to see "small wrist" and "Bentley" in the same sentence

You can't go wrong with either Motor or 6.75.
Motor has a busier dial which I personally prefer.
6.75 comes with a big window date and a bit less busier dial.


below are pics of my motor & GMT. (Hope this helps).

tried on GMT, didn't fit snugly. Chronomat 44 didn't cater to my personal taste.

Now deciding between two. Barnato Racing or Motors T? My biggest question is whether they have stopped producing Motors T? Can someone please explain this to me. Motors T is listed on the website and on the 2011/2012 retail price catalogue. What would you guys choose between these two?

Telling my AD to order either of those watches this weekend, so pics coming soon!!!

Hasn't stopped being discontinued since the last time your question was answered

But not sure why that's relevant to the decision if you like it.

Yes, it most definitely has been discontinued. The only reason I am certain is that I called Breitling Switzerland trying to track down a piece for me. Well, I also called about 110 dealers around the country, I still have their inventory of Motors T if you are interested. A few had black dials, when I tried to order the white dial at the AD the AD called Breitling and they said they dont have anymore. So it was a big chore to track it down and get one but completely worth. If you need more info let me know.

I'm pretty sure my AD is getting in a silver dial motors and a silver dial Motors T Speed with the satin case sometime in the near future.

Interesting, when I asked George I was told they were discontinued and so cannot be ordered. But I've also come to realize sometimes you need to push the ADs to make some calls to make it happen. Ironic, you would think they would try harder to make the sale, but that could also be purely a personality trait. I ended up doing all the leg work on my sale, it certainly was a great learning experience.

since Motors T is discontinued, I'm going for either the Barnato Racing or Supersports. Going to go try on both today, perhaps look at different color dials as well. These are my final options.

Barnato Racing or Supersports?

SO EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEK

also of note, why is Barnato Racing so much more expensive than the others in the range? I'm getting a retail price quote of 9200 pounds, roughly $12K retail price.

Because prices keep going up and Bentley prices are artificially inflated becasue Bentley don't want to be associated with 'cheap' watches. The discountinued pieces don't have increases in list price because they're discontinued.

Also the Bernato has an exhibition back (not saying that has anything to do with price)

Hi

I know this one is not on the list but have you seen the Bentley GT Racing, If you have small wrists this is a smaller watch still nice but not as big. But if you wanted one out of you're selection it would be the Barnato because of the back that is crystal back.

All the bentley range are nice just big. Hope this help and post some pics when you get it.
