Dave123 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Just picked up my GMT,its getting dark here and i didn't want to insult this work of art by taking many pics... So i took a bunch of wristies,i don't consider them pics.... A big upgrade from SA,i am thrilled to have been able to pick it up,my AD tossed in a nifty hat even after a robbed him on this.... They better not rep this,i will be p issed.... Enjoy. There is some black thing on my camera lens,sorry...

Maxim Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 That looks good, can you rotate the location of the cities or do they rotate along with the time movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasosn Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Good work Dave123...It seems that you move from the better to the best Certainly a great watch and i really "envy" you of this purchase!!

Dave123 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 The SA is here... As for the functions of the watch,i will get around to figuring them out someday...i'm all about looks.... The rehaut rotates with the bezel.

Dave123 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Beautiful watch Dave, I hope there will be a rep soon I bought my white dial as there was no rep of it at the time,now i bought this as there is no rep of it. I bought the SA Blacksteel as there was no rep,then help them rep it.... I am a confused bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Dave you gotta let me know when you are coming in to town when you buy a watch! Would have loved to meet up and see that beauty in person. Don't worry about a rep of that one. The movement in that one wont be repped in the foreseeable future, so I think you are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Congrats Dave! That's a stunner! PS: How does the GMT function operate? Does the 24h hand move in one hour increments... or does it have an adjustable hour hand + non-hacking seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 A little beyond me BT,never thought i would care what time it is in Tokyo... The GMT hand does a sweep of the dial on its own each day,it can be moved up an hour manually by pressing the pusher on the left side of the case...

Dave123 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm still figuring this GMT stuff out,dunno why but i guess i should...hmm,since Toronto isn't listed i guess i will never know what time it is here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedo Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Nice pickup Dave, good to see you managed a bracelet for it too. When this came out it was one I was really thinking about getting it, but the size could be a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 If i make another trip downtown to pick up a watch,you can meet me at divorce court to look it over.... Thanks guys,will put up a few new pics tomorrow for those interested in them. Let me crash the party too. I work pretty much across the street from Andrew. That thing looks amazing. Indeed...no worries of a rep on that one given the movement. The day they make a GMT capable tricompax layout with proper sub spacing is the day...well...the day they make seconds at 6 that isn't a timebomb. Big congrats on that one.

Dave123 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Nice pickup Dave, good to see you managed a bracelet for it too. When this came out it was one I was really thinking about getting it, but the size could be a bit much. Thanks H. The size is just right for me,i loved the GT in the blue dial actually,that dial really pops in blue,but at 44mm,its too small,if it was this size its the watch i would own right now,really nice. The size issue with Breitlings is a love it or hate it thing but frankly i think the majority are leaning towards loving it,even Rolex has finally decided to go with the flow with the DSSD,more will come i'm sure... You and maybe even BT will come around at some point,why wait?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omni Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The way my eyes are today I'd never be able to appreciate the busy dial without a macro lens but that looks just beautiful. Awesome watch Dave, enjoy it. I think the white dial goes elegant sport/dress perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaedo Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 You and maybe even BT will come around at some point,why wait?... BT might prefer the smaller watches, I like the big ones, that is not the issue. Big problem is these are 49mm right? I can manage the 45mm PO or the BCE but I am not 6' tall, hence it may look a little bit silly on me. Brilliant watch though, I like everything about it (except maybe the size, would need to see it in person, and the price tag) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave123 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Battle of the heavyweights?.... the GMT vs the SA....some might be interested....its rainy here today,kinda dark for pics... Here are some shots anyway of the two together,its a toss up to me on which is larger...i again apologize for whatever that black thing is on my camera.... Side by side flat down....edge to GMT,slightly larger i would say... Upwards,again the GMT is the clear winner i think,not by much though... Thickness of case,SA on left,slight edge to SA but not by much,yet again.... On these two angles the SA is the clear winner i would say... Dig the clasp on the Bentley,this pic from behind shows them as pretty much the same size.... Case is much wider at the lug area on the GMT as clearly noted here.... And one last side by side.... So as many that own SA's know,its a large watch,i would say the GMT is slightly larger but not as heavy on the wrist,again slightly... What say you guys,big difference?...same sh ite?.....

sconehead Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Is the GMT movement ETA based or an in-house movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Dave' IMO the gmt makes the SA look small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
