its my first breitling and im not sure where to go for a good deal. im kinda leary of online places but would buy from them if a few of you guys dealt with one of them and had good feedback.

i see authenticwatches.com has a good deal on the one i want but have seen where they jerked a few guys around. its a lot of cash to be jerked around on.....

the tourneau (or however its spelled) near me isnt getting my biz.

anyone else got a hook for this watch ???

and the one i tried on for size had a polished and also brushed bracelet, is this standard for this watch cause i really liked the way that one looked.

Check the group buy thread and PM In2Deep for more details. I bought my Bentley GT from a local AD and got 15% off just by walking in. Thought I made out OK but then I saw the GB. I've saved thousands on my Navi purchases through the GB.

Just what I've noticed recently when looking at the GTs, is that they are about 600-700 cheaper than the other models. I'm not sure if there is less demand for that color, but adjust your price expectation accordingly.

I've only ever seen polished, but I would say that my experience is somewhat more limited than others on here.

Mario beat me to it. The GT is all polished steel... the GT racing is part brushed and part polished. I have the GT... steel on steel with diamond black face/cream dials. I love this watch. Very sporty. Looking at the website, now the yellow gold version with the diamond black face and gold dials on croco has me drooling. :love:

You had on the sunset GT racing. It has both polished and brushed steel. The GT racing also has a Bentley GT on the caseback, whereas the GT just has the Bentley logo.

Here's that watch on ebay:
