Rolexman Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) It has the right 12-9-6 lay out right... but what about the day indication? Any thoughts?? TTK's nice pic: Edited June 21, 2006 by Rolexman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halley Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I need that watch, the color is GREAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) This should answer your question... http://www.ofrei.com/page240.html#2955 I'll warn you now though that the Bently is one HUGE attention grabbing watch! Big PAMs get away with it because they are retro, but this just shouts BLING BLING BLING. If you are going to wear one of these make sure the rest of you matches!

Watchmeister Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 It will straight swap with a Swiss 7750. Just make sure you buy one with day and date. The one issue you may need to be careful about is whether you can use the day and date wheels that came on the Asian as I see on that watch that they are red. I did the swap on the chrono avenger and was unable to use the Asian datewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Tracy Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 font seems to be red on all models...bugger That bugs me too... leaves burgundy as the only model for me that fits the color... though the white model would also suffice..., White makes things look larger and more noticable.. which this watch does not need any more of ..imo...

Bignasty Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 If its loaded with the new 28k Asian 7750 you will more than likely have issues with the diameter of the center seconds (chronograph seconds). The second hand is smaller on the new 7750's than it is on the ETA and its older Asian counterpart. I tried to do a swap for an RWI member last week on a Navitimer Serie Speciale which now comes with the new movement and the second hand would not fit. So be weary. If its the new movement you might just want to have it serviced and leave it be, unless you can source a new second hand that will fit. If it has the old 7750b or b1 or 7750 or whatever they are calling it this week then it should be a 1:1 swap. Should be no problems except the date wheel color will be wrong. If you buy an ETA 7750 new it should come with the Day wheel, but it will have to be installed on the movement and of course it will be a black on white font. My 2 cents.

CY0811 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I had to get black on this model....the contrast with the white inner bezel is a Breitling trademark to me.....plus the black just looks so good in the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
