I am really craving a bronze 6.75 lately, but the color does not seem very popular for some reason?

Anyone have any "real" pictures of a bronze 6.75 or Motors?

Also a quick question, does the bronze in a 6.75 or on a Motors differ? and are there more than one bronze color? I seem to have read somewhere about a bronze and "tobacco" dial colors?

Well I kinda have a bronze Motors:

There are a few different tones in the Bentley range, but I can't honestly recall whether the Motors and 6.75 are different from one another - I believe that they are the same and only one in that tone - but I don't have the Bentley book in front of me in the office.

Hmmm, I do like that shade. I saw a couple at a glance but would really like to see one for an extended period and see how I like the color in the flesh.

How do you like the color Roff? Would you rather have the black or white dials?

That color on the Bentley Le Mans looks more like the color on the Bronze Montbrilliant Legende.

The picture above looks to have a little more orange / metallic finish to it than the 6.75, which is darker.

IMO, the blue and bronze are the best 6.75 dials with blue being my #1 favorite.

The colour is similar to the Legende (I have both in bronze), but the Le Mans is slightly darker - shine a light on them and they look identical.

I love the colour on this watch, and don't regret holding out (and paying more) for it over the other options.

That said, I think I'm done with two bronze dials - time for something else.

As you can see on Jay's post, the 6.75 Bronze is a very different colour from the Motors Bronze. Thats why I call my Motors "copper", because it really isn't a bronze colour. 6.75 is a true Bronze colour.

Fantastic color... but what's up with the bezel alignment? (You know I had to ;) )

Sorry for quoting myself but god damn I gotta buy me that watch. :shock:

When I bought my SA and 111K I was extremely close to buying a 6.75 instead of the Panerai but changed my mind at the last minute.

I just purchased a bronze. I thought most watch dials are black, white, blue, but very few bronze. So that difference made me pick the bronze dial over the others.

Which bronze? Motors bronze or 6.75 bronze?

I fell in love with the Motors Bronze in Venice and nothing could knock it off the top of my grail list. It is still my grail, even though I have it now.

I purchased the 6.75. I liked the placement of the date better on the 6.75 than the motors.
