Dizzy Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Does anyone know if any of the Bentley line is going to be improved to a quality the same as the Ultimate BCE with double AR? I want to build a NICE Bentley motors T or 6.75 with double AR and ETA movement... @Angus - Do you know of anything coming soon? I want to get a Bentley 6.75 and send it out for servicing and double AR... cheers dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 It is probably best to buy what is available and get an AR coated by Chieftang or K2222, the quality is better than that of factory AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Im just sorta wondering if the rest of the watch is up for an improvement anytime soon. Better dial or case or anything. Maybe a proper sec@3 version of the Motors T chrono... The Bentley motors T is my favorite Breitling by far but the backwards (3&9) subdials is keeping me from building a custom one. Im in no big rush to get this started but i would have to get into it then find out theres a new model coming out or something.. just like the new improved SOSF that just came out from the 'noob factory'. Maybe the noob factory has some other exciting watches coming out soon? dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Purely an educated guess, I would suggest that they won't be releasing improved versions of this watch. I think the market for the Bentley is relatively small when compared to other watches that they could be working on. I think they may have made these watches from pictures, rather than from the real article. Seeing though the current Bentleys are almost spot on, I think they will invest their time and money on other watches. That's my feelings on the matter. The current Bentley's are very good. With a double AR coating, you will have a very accurate replica, of a very nice watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a part of the watch that screams "nmeeds improvement!", but possibly only the slide-rule bezel system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooley110 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 It is probably best to buy what is available and get an AR coated by Chieftang or K2222, the quality is better than that of factory AR That's fine if you're living in the US of A or EU. Poor me is in Singapore(uh?? Singapore??? Where is that????) Quality of the factory AR is better than NO AR at all. Regards, dooley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave123 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 They won't bother with the AR issue,rep double AR is not that great as i recently found out buying a gen SA,have Chief of the polish dude redo it.... My 6.75 from Josh had single side AR on a white dial,and actually,that worked well,most angles the crystal was unnoticed and didn't have that blue glare the double AR does..... Light maroon date font as well,stay away from the red..... The white dial 6.75 from Josh is highly recommended for the Bentley lover....imo.....

The slide rule ring is the glaring fault that keeps me away from it. (aside from the sec placement)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 The 6.75 model does NOT have the seconds placement issue. The slide rule on the gen utilises a turning pinion system (that's why there is a "button" @ 9 o'clock) that turning the bezel causes the inner bezel to turn as well. In the rep, the inner bezel is attached to the outer bezel, so a turn of the bezel would turn both the crystal (crystal is attached to the case on the gen) and the inner bezel. There may also be the issues with the color of the inner bezel ring and the spacing of the tick marks. @ oscar steven: no, the aftermarket bezel won't fit.

oscar steven Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 is it possible to add a aftermarket diamond bezel that fits a gen to a bentley 6.75 rep ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
