I saw this one in the flesh the Breitling rep had it for display only. The price was 40K, or something ridiculous like that.

It was very handsome.

I just got a call from my AD, they have a GMT in a blue dial with steel bracelet. I'll take some pics for your guys ;)

PM me if you would like to buy it through the group buy :)

I would be tempted but I have to buy my wife a watch first or life would not be worth living. It'll be a Colt Oceane with diamond bezel, so the GMT will have to wait till next year.

just saw a GMT in GMT in my local AD..Blue dial, speed bracelet.., very nice, also felt very natural on the wrist. I know they say the automatics are +/- 4 secs or so a day, from actual owners of Bentleys or others is this the norm or is accuracy somewhat better than this quoted figure.

I saw one a couple weeks back during my trip to the AD and I still dont like it. The integrated strap / bracelet thing doent do it for me and the bezel is too thick. Almost like it was designed with the rapper in mind!

Frankly I vote it as my least likes model.

Yeah it's still not doing it for me. I understand that it might appeal to the more recent fans of the brand, and I guess the Bentley range is getting big enough for pieces like this now, but a resounding 'thanks, but no thanks from me'.

In contrast it has grown on me over the months. Hated it when it came out, but it looks better in the flesh/metal than I thought it would. Agreed the bezel is too thick though..... and I probably won't buy one.
