cougaree Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 @frankpower88: What a collection! Thanks for sharing! What did you do to your Bentley? The only thing I have seen is that you moved the subdial hands. I'm confused. Should the subdial hands to be moved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpower88 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks guys for your comments, unfortunately, the only breitling still in my collection is the blue franken SA, all others have been sold. i also have had about 10 more BCE's and 2 SOH's but no wristies of those. my favorite among the ones i have sold was the bentley 6.75, but the fact that it could not be waterproof made me sell it. when i wear a watch i have to be able to do anything with it, without being to carefull. thats the reason i have a deposit on a Gen Seawolf SS . i will post pics of this one when i get it. The mods on the 6.75 were, chief double AR, amazing! The Zigmeister relume and service, thats is where the subdial hands have been moved, and it was a mistake, but never bothered me. the new version of the 6.75 gen, has the hands like that anyways. seing my pics, i really miss a franken white SA too, i might get another one on the way.

subbiesrock Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm man enough for a GMT I've noticed on my wrist the Legendé looks like a Standard Navi does... I've been blessed (cursed?) with a flattish but wide wrist, and fairly standard at 7.5 inches. That GMT does look like it's about to eat that Blinged out SA...

The Legende doesnt wear as large as it is. It seems flatter, if that is the right way to describe it. The SA sits higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the Legendé really wraps around the wrist and is probably the most comfortable watch to wear, even though the weight (which is iMMENSE!) is noticeable.. Never tried on an SA but might do, considering all these amazing frankens in the thread, those Gen dials look pretty amazing. Might have to zero in one, if any of you guys have a spare Gen blue batons franken lying around, not getting any attention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 You all know how big a SA is but have a look at the BGMT against it.... Geezus! Makes it look like a Skyland LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 You all know how big a SA is but have a look at the BGMT against it.... Sorry guys, I have to ask. Is this Bently GMT a rep???????? Please excuse my ignorance as I am only familiar with AP´s for the last years. Cheers Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Sorry guys, I have to ask. Is this Bently GMT a rep???????? Please excuse my ignorance as I am only familiar with AP´s for the last years. Cheers Theo No it is a Gen. Movement is too complex to rep...running seconds @3, GMT Function and 30s chrono...can't get all of that out of a 7750...well with enough effort anythign is possible, but you will have a DW that is sunken a foot.

vafarmer70 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 you will have a DW that is sunken a foot. And when the lighting is poor, that is a HUGE issue, almost like no date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 but you will have a DW that is sunken a foot. There is a rep made of this watch,seen it on Watchedens site a while back but it is indeed total crap,then again what would i expect from his site.

Utheman Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I don't know what this one is called, but it's Model #1451. This is the only one I have, but I like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and there was also one with a actual running 30 sec. chrono, but no 24hr hand function. Never saw much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yep, and there was also one with a actual running 30 sec. chrono, but no 24hr hand function. Never saw much of it. Which rep is closest to resembling the actual functions of the original? I would have thought adding a GMT hand was a few gears, and the 30s counter is simply different gear ratios. Of course every gear train mod brings the datewheel lower and lower and lower... That GMT really is beautiful...shame it goes for so much in Gen form. Might give it the once-over at an AD.
