gliebig Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I just recently traded my gen blue dial Bentley Motors for a lmt ed black MOP dial Evo. I'm kinda regretting dumping the bentley and thinking of picking up one of the new big date bentley's. Trouble is, I can't decide which dial color to get. I will order the watch on a bracelet and will probably buy a gen croc band also, so it has to look good on both. Please post any pics you have of your big date. Thanks, -G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 The Genuine Bentley is going up in value but you can always find a deal on a lightly used one....the new big date rep seems to have great case and now has AR but I am unsure if the bezel turning moves the crystal as well and and dont remember if the Genuine crystal turns with the bezel?? Confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvspl Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 NOt sure about it having AR, it still says "light AR coating like the original 30second Bentley and that had no AR on it. Im just curious why noone is buying these. I really want one but want to hear some good reviews on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Anyone know if the crystal turns when you rotate the bezel on the genuin Bentleys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 what is the symbolism in that? Anyway, @CY0811: the crystal doesn't turn on the gen. It's a gear system similar the B-1 where the turn of the outer bezel turns the inner bezel. @all: i saw one guy in canal st. selling one and ironically, he was next to a legitimate grey market (oxymoron) jeweler who has the gen in his display window. the rep looks good, save for below: REALLY LIGHT AR. You see a blue/purple tint, but it doesn't too much in the way of making the dial stand out. Dial printing could be a bit sharper and the date placement is slightly off on the rep. Looks a little sunken, if you ask me. The color is blood red, which is wrong. It should be a black on some models (at least the black and white ones) and brown/maroon on the brown-dialled one. But, it does come a LONG way from the rep right next to it, the Bentley open heartbeat green distorted glass, made of tin etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CY0811 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yes BIG DATES...are gross...lol So how about the rep BCE...does the bezel operation resemble the gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yes BIG DATES...are gross...lol So how about the rep BCE...does the bezel operation resemble the gen? The BCE's "bezel action" is very simple. I've seen some of the reps in person and it's just not quite smooth between clicks. But I bet it's easily "fixable" with some superglue. It could be that there are deeper ridges on the bezel of the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
