Breitling for Bentley
I am really starting to like these. I think I may be a Motors fan. I need to find somewhere where I can try them on to see if they are too big. I have a 7.75 inch wrist. Show me your Breitling for Bentleys to hold me over!
Thanks, Guy |

Well, I don`t know what to say...Bentley models are beautiful without a doubt, but IMHO way too large.
It`s size of 48.7mm is just too much for me. I tried it on few occasions and it really looked ridiculous on my wrist. But, then again, I got fairly skinny wrist! You should definitely go to the nearest Breitling AD and try it for yourself. And if it fits you well, then why not? They`re remarkably built timepieces, with relatively high "bling" factor, which makes them suitable for dressy occasions. |

I think a 7.75" inch would be suitable for a B4B.
You may have initial shock with the upgrade from a 36mm DJ. But once you get used to it, it will feel right at home. I have a 6.5" wrist and my 44mm Steelfish seemed big the first time I tried it on. Now it feels perfectly cozy. I ALMOST feel like I could handle a Seawolf. |

If the motors is too big the GT is 44mm and the mark vi is 42mm. I am not a big fan of the notches on the side of the bezels for B4B, the only one that doesn't have them is the Mark VI which IMO is gorgeous:

I think they are great, I tried on a pre-owned about 3 weeks ago and can't stop thinking about it. While large, it's classy not trashy.
I'm saving for a sub first, then the Bentley. |

Here's my Mark VI.
