Yup not so great :) And I typically like partially open/skeleton dials which this one has......

It's a little too busy of a dial for me. Also, at $11,770 on a bracelet, I'll have to pass.

I’ve got to say though; although it’s not for me, as far as a skeletal watch goes, it’s not that bad. All skeletal watches take some getting used to. It’s like having salt in your morning coffee every day.

Some like this style of watch and I would not pick it out for special attention when you compare it to other makers efforts. It’s fairly subdued really.

Skeletons are nice. Skeleton behind chainlink fencing doesn't work for me

The "grill" that they put over the skeleton just kills it for me. It makes it look cheap. And at $11k+ it certainly isn't cheap

the Bentley Unitime is the only decent piece, both the B06 and the GMT B04 are epic fails for me.
never thought I'd see a Basel fair where the only new B I really like is a Quartz Emergency.

I think they were inspired by all those fake tourbillon bentley models on the 04 and the 06. I like the unitime though.

Good point! And I agree, the unitime is about the only one I like.
