Lord Sugar sports the GMT 116719BLRO

Wearing the White Gold GMT on tonights show... Great choice

Spotted that. I'm sure he has a very nice watch box. Think he had a daytona on last week.

He had the SS white face on last week. I've been trying to get a good look at tonight's to figure out which one he has.

I spotted it too and if I'm honest I'm a little disappointed. I didn't think it suited him or came off that well with his attire. It's unsettled me as it's my grail and now I have concerns creeping in about its ability to cross over between casual and formal contexts. I also thought the case seemed to look a little too boxy and awkward. Maybe he has a skinny wrist or something. His Daytona looks much better on him IMHO.

I thought it looked good, colours were a nice crisp red and blue in the boardroom.

I think the Daytona looked great and since seeing it I wear mine for work more.

Well, I have no idea who Lord Sugar is, but he must have impeccable taste in watches!

Size:  94.0 KB spotted the same, I also agree for some reason it didn't look right on him but I think it may have been because the bracelet was so loose.

The watch is FINE. It's meant to look 'big'. It means business!

I wear mine like that if I want to make a statement.

He's a businessman/TV celebrity/member of the House of Lords, who does the UK version of The Apprentice. Try Wikipedia for more.

Thats the pepsi GMT isnt i? I agree doesnt suite him not like the white daytona. Pepsi is bit more casual look I think whereas i think you would get away with batman in more formal situations, its the red for me.

It was also doing that annoying thing of not slipping back under his cuff which can make it seem to be sitting strangely. I often get this with my bigger watches causing me to keep tugging the shirt cuff back over it. Perhaps we need to have the left hand cuff tailored larger on shirts to accommodate a larger / sports watch if so desired!

He had the BLRO out so he could do a triple firing - it was a special occasion swiftly disposed of 3 wastes of space with one guy ludicrously claiming he lead 600 people and was responsible for a billion pound budget!!

He's a serious collector but not my type of role model.
