The Breitling Watch Source Forums

The link kind of misses the point - it's not the watch that's new (it's from Basel 2009), but rather the new integrated strap - http://www.flylyf.com/pre-basel-2010-%E ... -colt-gmt/

Another huge announcement from Breitling leading up to Basel

Well its not "hideous", but I am not a fan of the integrated strap look. Strangley, I dont mind the "shaved" rider tabs and actually that update was one of the things I liked about the B01 model.

I like the bezel on this. Integrated bracelet is, meh. All in all, not a blockbuster.

The B01 bezel is an entirely different story... The update on this model's bezel is more along the lines of what I'd expect on the B01. The combination of an awful font and an entirely too smooth/shiney surface on the B01 bezel just leaves me...

I have to admit that I am no fan of integrated straps.
I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
Thanks for sharing.

Any design that limits future strap choice is bit of a deal breaker for me.

I still think that bezel makes the watch look more like a Tag from 2006 ish

I do not care for the design of the the new GMT+. It looks of a 'weaker' (or a lesser design/style) than the GMT of last year. I am still trying to find the older model GMT/blue face/stainless to no avail. (!!!!!). I cannot even find the old version of SuperOcean with all soild numerals. They have now gone to stencil like numbers . . . . not a wise design move to me. Every autherized dealer (AD) I have talked to have not understood why I would buy a older dis-continued model . . . and all I can say is "THE OLDER GMT is the only watch I want". The GMT+ is nice looking but not as nice as the older model in my opinion.

TAG style bezel. Pointless integrated strap giving precisely zero alternative options.

No thanks.

What a half-assed announcement for a lead up to Basel 2010! Especially when the "new" GMT+ is not even a new inhouse movement like the B2, and yet they are asking about a grand more money for the GMT+ than the GMT! If I remember correctly when I looked at it at my AD, it was $3800.Cad. I think the GMT is about 2700 and IMHO a better looking watch!
Cheers,
Carl

I think this was posted before. But anyways, still don't like it. Intergrated bracelet doesn't mean much to me. Just the design is dreadful. Did a new design take over for Breitling. Their recent offerings have all been meh.

Had to chuckle at this guy's analysis of the "new" Colt GMT -
