Rolexman Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) I'm thinking about buying the GT because it is smaller (+- 44mm) but I don't know if the day/ date function is reliable in the new 7750 movement? Any thoughts? Edited June 23, 2006 by Rolexman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjalg Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Damn.. forgot to add the option Breitling for Bentley (Ken help me out!!) I'm thinking about buying the GT because it is smaller (+- 44mm) but I don't know if the day/ date function is reliable in the new 7750 movement? Any thoughts? Sorry for being off topic, but which dealer has a decent rep of the GT? I thought only the 48MM`s were out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadog13 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 this one al the way... if you know what model is this...then you'll now what model i prefer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 The main reasons I would go for a GT (44mm) over the for Bentley (48mm) edition............. The gen 48mm edition has a 30 second chronograph, which means the second hand completes a rotation in 30 seconds rather than the normal 60. To me this is a big flaw, as the 7750 movement doesnt do this. And the chronos are the wrong way around. The date window on the 48mm is also slightly out! However on the 44mm, the date looks really good as far as Breitlings go! No 30second chronograph, so the movement is more accurate. Only thing I can see at the moment is that 'Swilzerland' engraving.

crystalcranium Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Joshua, Andrew, Neil...so far. Hey guys, that's a 28,000bph new asian 7750 in there So glad to see these making it into other replicas. Have there been datewheel issues with them before? http://perfect-clones.com/product_info.php?products_id=1357 Edited June 22, 2006 by crystalcranium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher71 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Very nice! The rep makers are finally giving some attention to breitling models I prefer the GT...it will be my next purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relaxman Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Hey Rolexman My choice is the GT. I had a choice between the two when I purchased my genuine GT with the sunset dial. I never really cared for Breitling much until I purchased Josh's Navitimer fighter. Beautiful watch that I still have to this day. Soon after that purchace I wanted a genuine and a Navitimer World (47mm) that I had been eyeing came up for sale on TZ sales corner so I bougt it followed by the Bentley GT. I get more compliments on those watches than any watch Ive owned from Panerai to Rolex. I know the dates are off lol have not worn it in awhile.

exper Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Definately the GT for me, its a lot more accurate then the other one. Relaxman, what do you think of the burgundy colour ? its certainly something different so was just wondering if it goes well with casual clothes as a beater ?

relaxman Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 casual clothes as a beater Beater maybe a strong word lol. It does however go well with jeans and a tee. I really like the color of the dial and you dont see many of them. I have seen two Bentley GT's (AUTOS) around where I live with and I thought they looked awesome. If I could only afford the car.

gdaddy Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) I never heard of anyone buying a car to match his watch, but my brother in law just bought an 05 Bentley convertible to go with his Breitling..I swear. He has an incredible genuine watch collection and has always driven exotic cars, so it wasn't the stretch you might imagine. Haven't seen it yet, (the watch, either) but I'll post picts when I can.

robertk Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Here in L.A. there are so many Bentley's on the road, we call them california chevy's! GT for me because it is more accurate. I have the older faux bentley (49mm) which I like but it's biggggg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 GT for sure,.. 1. Size 2. Day & Date complications 3. Aligned Date 4. Just looks better I do wish the case was brushed.. but that I can do myself..accurate or not I can't stand fully polished cases.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow he should have waited for the GT conv. instead...unless he likes the classic lines of the 05....I would have and may someday acquire the GT coupe.

SubFrog Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I think I'd like to try that Burgundy with the 7750. Quite nice!! The most compliments are given to my old Bentley. But, look at the SIZE of this mother on my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) When you say "old bentley" are you referring to the one in the pic..... Also, some have red font and some black so it seems? The only flaw I see on the rep is the space between the print and the edge on the white part of the inner bezel ...the spelling on back is nothing to worry about.

I was wondering if you could take the case back to an engraver and have him "fix" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkatbamna Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I made the choice and got a GT from EL. You cannot go wrong with it. Black dial with white subdial. No movement issues so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
