Hey everyone, (new to the community and think this forum is awesome!)
I actually just ordered a Breitling Bentley GT with the new caseback from TrustyTime (Andrew) and asked him to swap out the face for a black dial...
However, after more consideration, I am having second thoughts on my purchase. Mainly b/c of the differences between the two models based on the site's descriptions:
Regular Bentley GT --> http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...products_id=671
a. MOVEMENT: Asia Valjoux 7750 (28,800bph)
b. DIAL COLOR: Blue Dial with off-White reccessed subdials and stick markers
c. BACK GLASS: Close case back with Bentley Car Graphic Engraving
Bentley GT Racing (with new caseback) --> http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=1272
a. MOVEMENT: Asian Valjoux 7750b1 Automatic (Working Chronos)
b. DIAL COLOR: Black Dial with silver reccesed subdials and stick markers
c. BACK GLASS: Solid Engraved Case Back with insignia
Now I need the advice/insight from forum members about which model I should go with. Maybe I will have enough time to email Andrew and have him switch my order to the Regular GT based on the advice I get here.
1. What is the difference between the Asia Valjoux 7750 vs. Asia Valjoux 7750b1? Is one movement superior/more reliable than another? Pros and cons?
2. How accurate is the rep. depicting the off-white subdials/stick markers for the Bentley GT racing vs. the silver subdials/stick markers for Bentley GT? Does the genuine GT Racing model also have a off-white subdial/stick markers?
Basically, if the movement of GT Racing (with the new casebacks) is inferior to the regular GT model, I rather purchase the regular model which can be more reliable and will last longer. In addition, not knowing the major differences of the face dials (silver vs. off-white) between the 2 models has me concerned that maybe I should just stick with the regular GT. But I do like the new casebacks with the engraving of the continental GT car....HELP ME DECIDE!
Based on feedback, I may or may not switch my order to the regular GT model. Any help/insight/advice/recommendation is much appreciated!!!!
