Just got the new "chronolog" called RUNWAY 12, at the Bentley section there is the new Bentley GT 2, what do you think about it? I think it is missing something, the GT 1 is way better looking in my opinion... |

Doesn't do a thing for me. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but in looking at it, I get the vague sense that the junky styling affecting some of the standard Breitlings is starting to seep into the Bentley line, as well. |

The subdials are bizarre looking and far too small for the dial. |

Looks very plain and too spread out. |

I don't like the sunburst finish. It a bit cheesy for such an expensive watch. And the subdials look painted on whereas they used to be "cut" into the dial. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk It definitely doesnt looks as classy and sophisticated as the old model. Maybe some real life pics would show it off better. I disagree about the sunburst/black hole dial though. I think it looks pretty cool, and wouldnt mind seeing something like that on some other models. |

When you say "suburst," do you mean the gradient color transition? My understanding is sunburst is a dial finish, not a color. The new Spitfire has a sunburst finish, as does the Chronomat below. I'm not seeing anything indicating the new GT has that kind of finish on the dial.

I can see it actually pretty clearly in the GT....look close to the sliderule, see how light it is, then how dark it is in the middle. |

He is saying that generally when we use the term "sunburst" in relation to Breitlings, we're talking about a pattern of radiating lines from the center of the dial outward, like on the sunburst dialed airwolf. I guess here its referring to the gradient color changing pattern, similar to a sunburst finish on a fender strat. |

Thanks for clarifying. |
