I have one of the updated Bentley. Not sure how close it is to gen, but the quality seems to be really good. The date wheel on this watch is also very interesting. Whether or not the date font is maroon, I can really careless about. After all, I don't know anyone has a Bentley.
The watch is heavy, but wearable. I don't think I would ever put on a SS bracelet. The wheel caseback is interesting, but the standard flat caseback maybe more practical. Don't how close the dial is to gen, but it's nice built and I don't think I would ever replace it with gen (even though I understand it's impossible to do).
On mine, the small second hand is bit choppy. I think have the watch serviced will make it smooth. I hope in the mean while the way it is will not damage anything. The crown tube is also short. I wonder if it can be improved or replace with a gen. The bezel is butter smooth right now, I wonder if it gets looser over time. Does anyone know?
