| Post subject: | Bentley GMT |
I recently was at my AD & saw a promo including the Bentley GMT  . I have an airwolf already & can see myself with one of these as well. Has anyone seen one of these in the flesh. I'm very interested in any impressions, ie size & presence, or if it would look too excessive..
cheers |

They are already out there. The steel versions at least. Try your local AD sometime. Personally, it did not impress me as much. I think the only way to own the Bentley GMT is on the GMT Rubber. Only then it looks 'unique' at a glance. I also didn't like how EASY it is to push the GMT Hand button. It didn't feel as solid as you might expect but it is a beaty nevertheless. |

Does anyone have the GMT and would be able to post some pictures? I'm very curious to see more detailed pictures of the rubber strap that comes with this big boy.

I still don't overly like it. The bezel is too thick IMHO, and it just looks a bit tacky (which is not something I ever thought I'd say about a Breitling). Obviously now that I've said that I'll clearly end up owning one in a few months!

I've still yet to see one in person, though I'm scheduled to head out to my AD this weekend... I might have to take a peek

Courtesy of a user on Timezone, I'm not a huge fan of the size of the GMT red arrow.

I took another look at the one at an AD the other day - I still can't like it - legibility sucks and the bezel is just too big. It really stands out in the Bentley display, and not in a good way - it looks like the 'odd one out'. |

The rose gold one with the rubber strap looks incredible to me. |

I don't think it's(above photo) a very flattering photo of it, the red gold one on the bentley site looks awesome especially with the contrasting colours. If only I had a spare $50K lying around. I'm not really a big fan of gold watches, but the colour & design of this one is very interesting. A nicer photo of the steel one may improve it, but l think it looks better with the rubber strap. cheers |

cheers The red gold one with rubber strap is the one I would like to see a personal picture of, maybe a wrist shot or something to see how it really looks in action. I don't think the picture posted of the SS GMT was all that bad either. I like the dial and the little bit bigger than usual bezel. I have never tried this particular watch on so I'm sure my opinion could change. I will be in Las Vegas later this week and will go by one the AD's there to check one out maybe?

Last time in Tokyo I tried just that combo, red gold GMT on the rubber strap. It feels like a really weird combo (a bit like diamond bezel and rubber strap) but I thought it looked quite good. Unfortunately I had no possibility to take pics...
