I just got hold of the new GMT and it is a very impressive watch.
I didn't have time to take any good photos, but there is a lot of potential in this watch for some fantastic photographs, it is very photogenic.

Sorry this is a very untidy photograph, no preparation and a lot of dust but I hope you get the picture:

Very very nice.

And you don't have the half hour time difference to contend with.

JJ Irani · 9 July 2007, 05:29 PM

Congrats, Steve, on a superb acquisition. That is a very futuristic and a fine looking timepiece.

Wear it in good health.....and let's have some more pics!!

Cheers - JJ

Nice one Steve
Where did you source it from?

mike · 9 July 2007, 05:43 PM

Congrats Steve! Can't wait to hear your impressions of the watch.

Gaijin · 9 July 2007, 06:17 PM

Glad you got one!

frostie · 9 July 2007, 06:56 PM

congrats. I am going to buy this watch also. I cant wait

Uncle-AJ · 9 July 2007, 07:09 PM

If you want dust and scratches you should see my TT GMT !!!

Congratulations Steve.

Lol-x · 9 July 2007, 07:18 PM

Thanks guys for the good wishes.
I got this watch s/hand from the USA - 10 days old. Thanks Brad

Anyway, my initial feelings are that this is one solid watch, very well made.
Scratches on the bracelet are par for the course.
I just had a drink with a work-mate who has a polished centre link bracelet on his TAG chronograph. He said he doesn't worry about scratches, if you don't want scratches don't wear the watch. He said it's like shoes, they will need a buff when the time comes, its par for the course. I tend to agree.
Anyway, I had to take out 2 links and the bracelet might still need some further adjustment.
The visual presentation of the watch dial, bezel and hands with the triple lock crown are excellent.
I'll provide more details as I experience it a little more over the next few days.

spaulhus · 9 July 2007, 08:19 PM

Congrats

Looking forward to the pictures...

Gedanken · 9 July 2007, 08:26 PM

From an eyewitness perspective, Steve was on a mission to get that GMT, and hey, mission accomplished!

Now let's see photos of that bracelet and bezel!

Robb · 9 July 2007, 08:51 PM

Congrats!

Flyjet601 · 9 July 2007, 11:15 PM

Congrats....great choice

Arturo · 10 July 2007, 12:16 AM

I have to admit, I just saw the TT one, and it is very beautiful. I would have preferred that they do a steel bezel insert, but I am OK with this very beautiful watch, even with the "maxi clicks". I don't know why they used maxi clicks though. Makes no sense to me when that eliminates smaller time allotments.

triton · 10 July 2007, 12:22 AM

Tools · 10 July 2007, 12:30 AM

Very Nice

alexcord · 10 July 2007, 03:35 AM
