It has been meantioned before that the caseback on this watch is somewhat unconfortable. Would any OWNERS of this watch care to comment? I really like the bronze version and have tried it on, but was thinking of crossing it off the list because of the comfort level. I really couldnt tell how it would feel after hours on the wrist.

thanks

Scott

The 6.75 is the best selling Bentley in the line. The wheel does not have any sharp edges and does not stick out too far. Actually, it is quite comfortable. I've never heard any customers complain, and when I play around with them at work, they feel just fine to me.

Hello Scott,

I've never experienced them as uncomfortable. Sure, if you get the braelet to be extremely tight it might press into your wrist, but that goes for all casebacks. For normal wear I don't have a problem at all - so that's why I never hesitated to get a second one... ;)

I've only had mine a little while, but so far so good. No problems with comfort and (as with all my watches) I quickly forget I've even got it on.

I usually wear mine for shorter periods of time but have had no issues with it being uncomfortable. The back is relatively smooth and sits nicely on the back of the wrist.

My best friend has one he wears daily and loves it, practically sleeps in the dang thing and has never complained about it being uncomfortable.

Oh yeah, on a side note, he's in the USMC and wears it with his marine fatigues and pulls it off nicely. The only marine on Parris island sporting the full ling. He says it's perfect for adding weight to his arm when smacking around new recruits :wink:

Well I dont even remember who (I think it was here) meantioned the comfort level from the 6.75 caseback. But I do rember reading it somewhere and while dreaming up the latest wish list I was wondering about this.
Now that you owners have chimed it.... it is definitely still on the "I gotta have it" list. I have to hurry up at get my Panerai, so I can get a few more Breitlings!

Thanks to all for your responces,

Scott

When I tried on the 6.75 it felt ok, but I preferred the feel of the motors so I went with that instead.

Try them both on and get a feel for both. Everyones wrist size etc is different....maybe BOTH will call out to you :lol:

I am not drawn to the Motors or Motors T, at all. The big date under the 12:00 of the 6.75 is what I like the most. I have even thought that a Blackbird might be a a better choice to get the big date movement.... or maybe I should get them both :)
