AndreasK Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have been eyeing the new Bentley 6.75 and have a few questions. I have been unable to find a close up pic of the rep date window and wanted to know if the date wheel is offset as far of the dial face as on some other reps. Does anyone have pics of the "new" version with the revised correct maroon colored date wheels? Otherwise this rep looks pretty damn nice! Any other flaws I should know about? Thanks for your help!

ChronoKing Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 The white rehault portion of the dial is a horribly easy tell. They can never seem to get it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailinjack Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 My 6.75 with the maroon numbers looks just fine to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChronoKing Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 My 6.75 with the maroon numbers looks just fine to me Have you compared it to the gen? There is a very distinct visual difference. It breaks my heart, because otherwise it's a great rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasK Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 amo, What is the "very distinct visual difference" you are talking about? I studied the dial against the rep (pictures) and it looks spot on. What am I missing? Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Andreas, I just bought my boyfriend an affordably priced Breitling for Bentley 6.75 (I believe it is) in the sales forum. I posted a close-up of them in the "Too Busy" thread, but here they are for your convenience: Those of you who have only seen Breitlings online or at a distance will never know just how macho, sexy this watch is. Hold one, one day, you'll see. Then buy the rep. Even a poor one like this, is very beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoKing Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Andreas, I agree, sometimes it is difficult to spot the difference in some of the pics posted. I have owned the rep, and have seen many gens. The white rehault ring that overlays the dial of the watch (between the dial and the crystal) is about 2mm-3mm too wide on the rep. As there are many of these reps around where I live, I find it to be a very 'easy to spot' flaw on the watch (besides the lack of strong a/r). V is right, this is a very beautiful 'macho' watch; however, the rehaut problem led me to sell mine. We don't wear our reps to claim they are gens, but what's the fun if there's no mystery...

AndreasK Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 amo, Thanks for the clarification. I think I can live with the difference. I tried the gen on at a local store $8K retail, but they said they would let me have it for $6500. It's an awsome watch and is heavy enough to double as a weapon if you ever need it.
