Yes with the green dial. I did think you had one.

Yes I picked one up a coupe of months ago. I like it, it's a fun watch and not too large as the previous Bentley models were. The green dial is different depend on the light situation. Looks darker indoors and when in dimmer situation, but more vibrant when outside in the sunlight.

Just make sure you get a discount if buying from an AD!

I hear ya about the discount. I noticed at times the dial looks black. I felt the winding seemed tight but after trying several with that caliber I guess that’s how it is.

Yes the B01 has a tight wind, I have a couple of models with the B01. It will loosen up over time.

Green seems to be the new black.... a lot of watch companies are coming out with green models.

The Norton version looks pretty slick too.

Absolutely will. One of my favorite watches to wind now, but was a bit tough in the beginning. I have the panda dial on the black leather croc with the deployant clasp & it's perfect on my 6 1/2" wrist. (It's lost a lot of wrist time, though, since getting my BLNR (126710), but is still my go-to chrono.
