I am curious as to how many owners of the Breitling for Bentley GMT Special Edition of us are there. I am a new Breitling owner and am curious as to your thoughts about the watch. I chose the replace the rubber strap with the stainless deployment clasp. I purchased the watch as a 50th birthday present for my self and have not stopped wearing it since I put it on a month ago.

I love the size and am now use to the weight and feel of the watch on my wrist. Have had a few compliments from individuals who recognize the brand and model.

Thanks

Mark

Thanks for responding. Do you notice that the 24 hour hand runs fast in between each hour? In other words when it is 14:30 the 24 hour hand points closer to 15:00 versus actually pointing to 14:30.

I set the watch at 12:00 and made sure the 24 hour hand also was pointing to 12:00.

Just wondering if you have this issue.

Thanks

Mark

I have the same one. It has spent more time at Breitling than on my wrist. Weeks after purchase it started losing time, about a minute per hour. It's currently on it's second trip back.

Jlamb, in your opinion, the problem you're having is an GMT issue or a specific unit?

It's this particular unit. I have a number of other Breitlings and have never had an issue. It's just odd that I sent it in for service and it came back with exactly the same problem. what the heck did they do to it when they had it? Hard to miss it loosing so much time.
