The GT Racing is sweet man, I fought back and forth between that model for the day-date, or the big date on the 6.75. And the Motors T is sick too!

Nice pics guys! Can't be all of them though...

I'm fascinated by the amount if adjustability on the Speed bracelet, easily my best fitting bracelet yet. Image

Just got my first Bentley this week. I don't know what took me so long to come around to the Bentley line. The case design is killer. It's as nice as a Navitimer with a bolder, more contemporary feel and seems far less fragile. Now I'm looking at the 6.75.

I'm afraid I must own this watch. I was surprised to learn that it's not a limited edition. It looks like one. I love this dial.

I don't want to start any trouble here, but I've had my Motors T for quite some time. The finish on it is impeccable. A couple of years later, I bought a Navi 01 LE. One of the reasons I sold it was because the finish wasn't as good as the Bentley.

Since I bought my 6.75 it's become my daily wearer. I love the fit and finish on these Bentley models and there is nothing wrong with that! The Motors T is a beauty with the machined bezel, may be my next piece!

There seem to be a few people on the forum that don't like the Bentley line. I'm wondering why. To me, the dial is clearly inspired by the Navitimer. They made it more contemporary, improved the case, threw a knurled bezel on it. It's has strong Breitling DNA in its design. Is it the size they don't like? The Bentley name?

I don't see how the Navitimer World gets a free ride. It's big and flashy too. Maybe because the word "Navitimer" appears in its name and the word "Bentley" is absent from the dial. Just guessing.
