BB GMT vs BB S&G
I own a BB S&G on leather. Like it very much. Smooth, warm feeling on the wrist. My weekend/relax mode watch. BB 41 is a quite thick watch but on a leather strap it doesn’t bother me. I don’t feel this thickness.
Got a call yesterday from my AD for a BB GMT on bracelet. Very nice on pictures. Although it is the same size as my S&G, on my wrist it felt too large and I could also feel the thickness. That’s too bad because I like the clean look of dial and real Pepsi colors. Also like mat aspect of bezel. Overall this GMT is not for me... This demonstrate once again the importance of trying a watch before buying... BB S&G, DJ Blue Azzurro, CHNR |

GMT over S&G all day every day.
Bracelet over strap all day every day. IMO I agree about trying the watch on first. People tend to forget that a lot. |

All watches appear larger on bracelets and smaller on straps.
If the S&G were on a bracelet and the GMT on strap you would probably feel just the opposite. |

try it on the leather and you'll get an entirely different feel.

I personally like the GMT.
I get the try it before you buy it.... When I got my SubC I also tried the Hulk and passed on it. One of the sale guys at the AD looked at me as if I was crazy for the decision. We all like and enjoy different things, what makes you happy it’s what works for you!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
