Was at an AD this past weekend and walked in to try on the GMT. That thing is NICE. With the rubber strap though not sure if some of you guys know this but they have to cut it and move the sizing up and then use the clasp to cover the "cut" marks it seems...

its a MASSIVE watch but beautiful!!!

Who is going to be the first person to post up new ownership and wrist shots? :)

Whoever picks one of these up is one lucky Breitling owner, and I hope they will post some pictures here.

I personally like the rubber strap on this model. It reminds me of another watch brand that has had some success with rubber straps as well. Hublot anyone....... :D

AP's, Bell & Ross... there are a bunch of mid to high end manufacturers that use rubber on expensive watches ;)

Hublot is doing the best job of this in my opinion, which means nothing. :wink:

On the other hand I can think of a couple AP's and Bell & Ross watches I would like to have in my collection right now. :)

Black face/rubber strap. Decided this is my work watch. Drives me crazy not wearing my 6.75 as my beater.

Good luck,
Sean

Now your talking Mario.....I would go for something like the Big Bang Cappuccino Gold or Ice Bang.

Maybe after I track down a SS Bentley GMT. :)
