Hi all,

really in doubt of buying a Breitling for Bentley GT ICE, seems there is none second hand for sale anywere on the internet so i'll have to do it with pictures from the Bentley book, know Boogiebot has one and saw some pictures and it is really stunning!

What do you think of this one? Only thing is that i dislike is the white rubber strap, think a black leather or black croc will suit it very well... Anyone saw the ICE "live"?

yup i have one and the piece is amazing! i agree that on white rubber it doesnt really do it for me, so i put it on light brown croco.

youre right Raymond I havent seen any of them on the net for sale. that might just mean that not too many people have bought them.

My friend has one, his is on the white rubber strap. I think its an absolutely stunning watch "live" and it has major wrist presence! :lingsrock:

thanks...

i cannot imagine how different it will look compare to a normal white dial... there is no store here that has one to see it with my own eyes, that makes it not easy to compare!

It's sort of porcelain white. Some of Boggiebot's pics capture the color accurately.

As for the white rubber strap - looks like some quiche eating, clove cigarette smoking stuff to me. :roll:

A brown croco on it is a killer look. :bow:

The dial colour is lovely.
The white strap is certainly a strong statement. Personally, not keen....maybe if it was ceramic ? I too think black / brown leather or croco would look great, but then it wouldn't be an ICE per se.

Boogiebot had his for sale on a brown croco, but had a change of heart. :lingsrock:

thats right, i almost had a deal with boogiebot, really understand that he doenst want to sell it anymore!

I know that the 'ice' version is with the white rubber but i think the white would get dirty within a couple of weeks with daily wear, thats why i am thinking of a black strap...
