Hi All,

Which one would you pick?

Is 7050€ a fair deal for a new GMT (steel bracelet)?

Thanks!

Personally, I'd go for the Motors. I find the bezel on the GMT just too thick and "blingy". I'm also still not a fan of the offset lugs on the GMT either.

IMO, the Motors is just a bit more classy. The dial, while being very busy, is just a bit more understated than the GMT as well.

No-brainer for me (but then I own a Motors and a 6.75, and also used to own a Le Mans and another Motors, so I am somewhat biased here! :lol: )

Ultimately only you can decide, so I'd recommend trying both on and seeing which speaks to you more.

:yeahthat I gotta say he speaks words of wisdom! I'm partial to the 6.75 myself, but like he says you have to try em on and see... My problem is I end up buying both and keep looking for the next. Addictive little machines they are... :D

Definitely Motors - all of the reasons stated plus the really hard to read date.

i am a big fan of the motors. i have loved this watch for over 5 years since the first time i saw it ( not quite sure when it cam out). on a side note i spoke with the AD about the GMT and he told me that the lugs on the GMT are a little weird. sometimes when linked to rubber they dont site perfect. and you only have a chooice of rubber or steel. where as the motors you can do rubber, steel, leather or croco.
