1st up, my brand new BCE,
















Next up, GT Racing (always been my favorite, now with some new shoes)

My vote is for the BCE. I am not a big fan of branded watches ie. Ferrari, Bentley...... I always feel if I am going to wear something brand in such a way I should own what ever it might be.

I thought the same thing but bentley isnt plastered all over in big letters, and I really like the look of the watch

no doubt for me, the GT is very perfect!

Thanks All
Italiano ; BCE bezel is gen - good catch!

Natron, I feel the same way ; I can't afford a Bentley but unlike some other car watches this looks more like a Breitling watch to me than than a Bentley watch.

Cheers,

I have both watches too, and I personally like my BCae better. The GT is a little too flashy for my taste.

ohhh...very nice!! thought something looked a little fishy. :shock: looks alot better. congrats.

My vote's for the GT also. The band looks nice also. By way, what's the "767" in you name signify...anything special? Regards.

Congrats for both of the watches which are excellent....and both of which I have too (different colours)

however, IMHO the BCE Evo is the better rep for its 1:1 likeness...well, nearly!

BCE! BCE!

5 to 3 in favor of the BCE. In terms of accuracy, it is no doubt closer to gen than the GT.
I just put the croc strap on the BCE and even though brown on blue dial it looks great,IMO.

Cheers,

Here are the pics, BCE on croc strap...

 

[flyby75]

I go for the BCE....
I have got one on the way, inc better/bigger datewheel...

 

[brtelec]

I do not know if I care for the brown strap with the blue dial. I like it better on the bracelet myself.

Nice Pict. Thanks for sharing.. Brand aside.. I like the Bentley looks..

BTW I've been looking for a nice thick croc strap like yours.. Prey tell where did you get yours from.. Thanks.

 

[Rogerthat]

Strap is a Breitling croc strap.
I have a 24MM black version as well, they make the best croc straps IMO, have owned Simona and others that do not compare.
The rep versions actually look quite good, but are not as thick and have a plasticy feel.

Thanks M. I assume its a gen strap.. Can you point me the direction for acquiring the like.? Thanks..

The model # that corresponds with this color and exact size is 739P
It is 22/20 120/80

Color is really unique, it is brown, but more red undertones than any other brown croc strap I have seen.
I have seen the standard Brown Breitling croc strap and that had a different model # for the same size, so I think the model # does tell color as well as size.

I am sure you could order one from an AD, but they are pricey (maybe $350-450 ; I am not exactly sure)
Breitling AD's will sell you straps without a watch in hand or serial #, no problem.

I got mine from a gen forum member on breitlingsource.com ; for $175 ; still not cheap but that is not bad.
Occasionaly you see Gen crocs on ebay and they go for $150 - $300 tang buckle included.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
