Dont read or post if your not interested....or you are going to reply " Its only a watch.".......AGAIN.
Its more than just a watch, its a work of art...and you know it.
Breitling Bentley 6.75 big date or Breitling bentley Model T, and why?
Rear Model T.
Rear 6.75.
Size comparison, lined up with my Ball Hydrocarbon Engineer, which is a huge watch but dwarfed by the Bentleys.
I must apologise for the buttybox lid, I thought it would enhance my photo's, but it obviously didnt.

I wouldnt choose either. I realise that what is 'nice' is highly subjective and also that modern Breitlings polarise opinion like little else: but I think that theyre both vile. Had you considered selling them and putting to for a nice Patek?

Patek is the RollRoyce of watches, if I had the money I would buy neither, as I see both brands as vile, along with the majority of the people who lust for them.

Yoza, what car is that ?
It will down to the lighting when taking the pictures of the watches, what you need is a light tent from Maplins, currently on offer at 9.99 if you take lots of pics of your watches
Out of the watches, I would have the Model T with the Big Date colours

You may notice watches are often photographed at 10mins to 2, so as not to hide the date window at 3 or 5 oclock, and the printing at 12 and 6 o'clock.
As for " What car is that ? "....go and sit in the corner at once, or visit the tent section.

At the risk of being burned at the stake for heresy...
I think both are far too fussy for a watch, there's just too much going on.
I love the quality but prefer some simplicity, big dials included, in a device that I want me to tell me the time.
I've drooled over Breitling watches as I really appreciate the engineering of them but prefer simplicity.
That doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong it's just my opinion.......
Think the one on the right is the best though

I think you would like my Rolex SeaDweller DeepSea, non chrono, no extra buttons, big face, just the time/date.....
The Blue lume is exquisite..

Not a fan of the Navitimer, I've got an Aeromarine myself, but the Bentley Model T is nicer, if just the face colour.

Yoza,
I'm not a huge fan of either, but from me the Model T is far nicer with its more subtle bezel - almost like the turned aluminium you see on some Bently dashboards. I also prefer the black(?) face but not sure about the extra ring of numbers.
Best looking watch on this thread by far is the DS (at the time of posting)

I like them both, but prefer the 6.75 BigDate.

Im quite impressed by the DS, despite thinking that it looked terribe when it was launched. Id still prefer it without the uneccessary script on the ring though. I dont think that Id was a Ball, but Im drawn to the tritium tubes like a moth to a flame.....
