Admin,

Naviman and I were in our office today and we decided to help you out with this Croco issue and the Brushed VS Polished issue. Now if your local dealer only has the Motors T in stock it's OK because you can always get it all polished out later. In the meantime take a look at the link below.

and right on the mark as far as brushed VS polished goes for a Breitling. I will admit to a slight croco fetish, however. Might be because there are still a lot of those critters still around, some of them in the water hazards of our local golf courses. :D
Cheers,

For the most part I like the Fully Polished Breitlings, however, I like the Bezel on the Motors T better than the Motors bezel. One place where I do like the brushed look is on the bezel of the Chronomat Evolution and the other current Windrider Breitlings. Everything is polished except the front of the bezel.. and i prefer that look to the older polished bezel style.

Admin,

You can get one of those Motors T bezels for not much money, but as I said before you can also get the T polished out too. We have a guy here in town that is a certified Breitling tech. He attended the Breitling school and now he runs his own watch repair shop. We can drop off our Lings and go to lunch and he has them ready to pick up in 2 hours and he charges $75. I had big dents in the bezel of an Astromat Longitude that I really didn't think he could polish out and when I picked it up the watch was like new fresh out of the box. I take mine in about every 3 or 4 months because I bang up the clasps on mine really bad. Ive only had my Bentley Motors for about a month and the clasp is already banged up. When I had my Bentley GT racing I was going to have him polish it out for me but then I ended up getting the FULL LING so it wasn't necessary. We will be posting another EDUCATIONAL video later.
