richard lawton Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hi All Just recently received a Bentley 6.75 from Joshua. Really a great watch, very large and heavy, but very well constructed. Keeping excellent time over the last 3 days (+3/4 sec per day) Chronograph functions perfectly all sub dials return to 12.00 What is also great is the sec at 3.00 and the fact that the big date goes from 31 to 01 (As it should) There does not seem to be any problems with this movement. I fitted the brown leather strap to match the bronze dial, as I prefer leather straps to bracelets. One final note the AR is also good (Exactly the same as my original emergency mission) All in all a really good watch and a valuable addition to my collection Richard.

Pix Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hi Richard, a really nice Breitling you have there. The colour makes it really unique : after all, we always have white, black and blue... That's a watch I would proudly wear, if it was a bit smaller. Is the strap the one you got with it, as it looks too good for a rep strap. For the seconds @3, there have been some topics already, but I think it's worth asking again : is this really a new movement, or a standard 7750 clone put upside down, where only the crown would have been moved ? Would you mind shooting the caseback ? Thx ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 In your opinion, does the white part of the rehaut look too wide like on the GT rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard lawton Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hi, Pix No it's a chocolate brown strap from don. (Orig came with a bracelet) CY0811 No it's much improved on this model and very close to the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Classy looking and beautiful. I, too, am curious how the movement was modified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 pure class my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvspl Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 would you say the AR is better than the Bentley 30 's version with seconds at 9? I have one of them and its a great watch but horrible AR. I think i may have to pul the trigger on this. As another member mentioned the white part around the bezel does seem a bit thicker but i could be totally wrong. How long did it take for you to get yours?

Is it really a pronounced purplish blue tint on the crystal like on the genuine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard lawton Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hi All The white around the dial is almost exactly the same as the original and if you look at the second photo I tried to show you the AR Coating It's a vast improvement on the previously Bentley, and looks just like my original Breitling emergency mission.

Dutchy Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Beautiful watch! I was wondering though, why are there two different date colors for this watch? Checking google images there are gens with red font and other gens with black font....are there two editions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kollektor Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Richard, Thanks for the review. You're a brave man for being among the first to test that movement. It's a lovely watch and I may drop a dime on that one soon. Wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
