I own both only noticable difference is the caseback, little AR and the bracelet.

The dials areidentical, you are just comparing different color dials against each other.

Both models are available in a few dial colors.

Both are offered in retail, more likely to see the GT Racing on retail though, as it is newer.

Regular GT

older model

Wing caseback

no AR whatso ever on crystal

bracelet is fully polished on all links

Racing version

newer model

Car Caseback

light AR - not nearly as good as gen or a double AR'd rep

bracelet is polished but has brushed links, two tone of shiny and brushed

The racing model is likely the better bet for most, but one thing to consider if you plan on sending the crystal out for a double AR coating, it is easier to have the coating done on the non-AR version, than one that already has a light coating and must be stripped.

Thanks for the clarification, this really helps a lot. I'm confident I made the right choice in ordering the Racing version. Just received an email from Andrew (TrusyTime) and the watch is on its way! Woohoo...xmas gift to myself!

Thanks, that helps alot..Yea, I think I would prefer the brushed finish of the GT Racing Edition.

As far as I know they both come with the new 7750 movement, it's just that in the GT Bentley, it has been denoted specifically whereas the other one it hasn't. They're both the same. The 28k movement.

The main difference between the Normal GT and the ltd ed. racing version is that the ltd ed version comes in a brushed finish. It looks slightly less blingy, and is a finish that I think really suits the Bentley, just tones it down slightly.

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!!!!

These watches are carried by most dealers, and there is only one source for these particular models. Trusty is a good choice, a bit more pricey than others though.

Thanks andreww, do you know of any major flaws to these watches, especially the Breitling Bentley GT? I'm especially concerned of the crystal (if is has AR coating). And any other recommendations besides TrustyTime?

Hey everyone...

This RWG forum is awesome...

I just started into looking at replicas after my visit to the local Torneau store at my mall....7K for a watch??!!!???...whoa, way too much for me right now...thought I give the replicas a shot....

I'm looking into buying the Breitling for Bentley GT and/or the SFSO.

and/or

http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=1248

I've looked on the recommended dealers' sites and have narrowed it to TrustyTime (Andrew). Has anyone bought this particular model from him? Are there any pros/cons with this particular movement? Major flaws? Pics of the actual watch would be appreciated...thanks for all your help!

Sorry, i'm a noob...
