The Breitling Watch Source Forums

There are very few watches that actually have me look down to catch the time, pause for a few seconds and contemplate the sheer majesty of its presence even after a few months of owning it.

The attention to detail and craftsmanship of the Bentley line in general is significantly higher than the regular Breitling line, including the Windrider series and the Chrono Evo (my second favorite watch) and surpasses anything made by Omega, Tag (bleach) and many of the entry level Rolex watches. The movement is quite a bit better as well, smooth, precise and a pleasure to listen to in contrast to the Chrono Evo which does unfortunately have a rough untamed movement. Breitling hit a home run here.

In general Breitling seem to make the highest quality crystal, more so than any other manufacturer I have seen, especially so in the 6.75 as can be seen in this crop of a pic I took



Feels like I can stick my fingers in and change the time

If I could only keep one watch, it would be this thing of beauty. If you are thinking about it do not hesitate

Nice pics Altair!

And I can also vote for the 6.75. It is a really nice watch!

That *is* a beautiful watch.

Hmmm...

I've kind of been shopping around for a Breitling to covet next. That one has some serious potential.

@Altair
I've taken the liberty of using your wrist shot for a side by side comparison of gen vs fake in the Replica section. Hope you don't mind - if you'd rather I removed it just say the word.

The 6.75 is a magnificent watch if somewhat large for my puny wrist! Wear it well.

Not at all, glad it helped.


It is large and a bit on the end of what I find acceptable (generally I prefer 42-46) but the 6.75 and GMT master IIc make up for in style what they lack in personal dimension prefrence. That said those two watches wear really well for their sizes, the Rolex feels bigger and the 6.75 sits just right despite it's larger size. My wrist is about average at 7.5"

Altair,

I agree, I'm wearing my Bentley Motors today and I always like when I switch over from the SA and see the detail you speak of.
