Cgrech Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Okay, so I've been doin a little digging before bugging you guys with a question, but here it is... My first post. I'm looking for a GT.. the 48mm might be a little big for my taste. I figured best to make my first rep a small one. After a lil research I've decided that my best bet was with Josh. Now I see a lot of people love the white face GT from josh but what about black with gold? Can you guys tell me much from the pics you see?> http://www.joshwatch.com/bl10026-bentley-t...bph-p-2542.html for more pics! I'll check back in a day or so, then I'll pull the trigger on this bad boy. Also, any tips on ordering while in the US since most of these dealers are EU based??

Cgrech Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Not just gen vs rep replies too, Id like to hear about personal taste as well. Who thinks the gold chronos are a bit too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtd Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 The gold plating might be a problem... IMO.... I do have a Cartier Santos Chrono TT and nothing ever happened to the gold bezel... It depends on the quality and the comparisson of the "gold" color. And yes, go with the smaller version not the 48mm... haha Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Weel there are plenty of reviews and points on this watch, so I won't dwell on the flaws. Overall it's not a bad replica by anymeans. Personal taste - not the type of watch I would buy, but don't let any opinions sway you. Buying a watch is a very personal thing, if you like it, buy it!

andreww Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 These are very nice watches, and owners of them seem to be very happy. You mentioned the "white dial" is popular, and there is a reason for that. The slide rule ring on this watch is much too wide. With the white dial this flaw flaw is somewhat hidden, while it is exaggerated with dark colored dials. The white also hides the lack of AR. As for the two-tone finish, it looks nice enough, but don't forget its a rep, and since the gold is plated it is not likely to last, especially on the crown. Remember, you cannot polish the gold bits either. BTW, you call this a small watch, but even though it is smaller than its 48mm big brothers, it is still a very substantial watch.

Cgrech Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Thank you alllll for the help. I think im gonna avoid the gold plating all together now. I'm, for lack of a better word, very animated and my hands flail when I talk. My rep might take a beating. I'm thinking about keeping the black face but losing the gold trimmings. I'll wait to order since I'm going to Paris in about 2 weeks time. It would probably bet a lot easier to get shipped while im out there than it would be while im out in the states.
