I've been a newbie here and a somewhat regular poster for a specific reason...I really like Breiting watches as I've seen them when I have purchased other watches in the past but never really thought I would actually own one. Not so much because they were out of my league but because I have always thought of myself as frugal and couldn't spend that much on a watch. Until my wife and I met with our will attorney. He walked in with this "thing" on his wrist!!! and when I walked out I didn't care so much about the living will or legacy we could possibly pass on to our kids, but that "thing" on his wrist! I kept saying to my wife "did you see his watch?" and the usual reply was "no". I knew it was a Breitling but was by no means knowledgable about them, so I did some research and when we met again...I fell in love with the bentley GT. A thanks to jnelson3097 for his contact with George. I got a great deal and finally convinced the better half that I NEED this watch...so here it is. I LOVE IT!
Poor pictures due the lighting conditions but I'll put some in the gallery when I get better pics.

Thanks for all the great info guys! it's been a blast! :lingsrock:

And at only 44mms! I think that's called "presence."

I really wanted to go for the 6.75 because I liked the size but I didn't like the dial as much without the contrasting subdials so I had to "settle" :D for the GT. And I think it wears bigger than it is with the white face and while bezel. But damn is heavier than what I was used to but I love it! You can't forget it's on your wrist with that mass.

Justin, how was vacation? Did you enjoy our FL sun and get a little sunburned?
