Any one got one? Thoughts on them?

Seems to be a lot of hype over the GMT but not much on this!

With barely any waiting list either.

Just a shame it doesn't have a date complication. I couldn't live with my BB Red for that reason.

I agree. I really like the look of it, but I think i'd miss it not having the date, that's what's putting me off at the moment. If I see one though I may change my mind

I want one.

I like the fact there is no date.

Am looking forward to seeing one in the flesh and hoping I don't like it because otherwise...

Needed the date on it for me, went with the BB GMT instead.

Ditto. Really pleased so far.

Great value imho, although I am rotating mine at the moment with my Sinn 556A which I love.

The older I get the less interest I have in more expensive watch brands.

Am considering putting my BB GMT on a brown leather strap though, or maybe an Erika's Originals MN (although that might make it sit just that bit too tall...). Decisions, decisions.

Going to rotate my BB GMT with my Seamaster 300m.

Keep the Rolex Datejust for dress occasions.
