Traded in my extra DSSD for a Breitling GMT 47mm
I had 2 DSSD's ( i like it) and decided to trade one in on a 47mm Breitling Chronomat GMT ( Black face/steel bracelet)
Now I have Rolex's and Breitlings biggest baddest watches! I must say the GMT is one large piece of metal. Feels even bigger than the DSSD. Sorry for the iphone pics. I like the feel of a larger heavy watch and they both fit the bill. I must say I like them both equally. Anyone else have this combo? |

Love the B01 limited. Fan of brushed meal. The GMT 47mm has a limited version brushed finish also. Wanted the polished finish of this one to contrast the DSSD. Nice watches!

The thought of trading a Rolex for a Breitling makes me feel uneasy,I don`t think I could do it.

I have to say I never liked that font. . . That said it's certainly got 'presence'. My biggest concern would be how you'll fare on the re-sale if you decide to flip it though. . .
Nonetheless, enjoy and wear it in top health. |

I like it, looks great. I think the the new movement and find is forward thinking as we are moving into a new age. Different Strokes.

Thanks Bud. I think they work great together. Both the DSSD and the GMT are big and bad. The DSSD is actually less of a statement than the GMT ( less blingy and smaller) I could of got any other Rolex, PAM, or Breitling. I feel the 47mm GMT is unique and a bold stateent. Once you get used to a large watch on your wrist you can't go back and the subs or Daytona just wasn't cutting it. Resale value? I am sure this $9800 GMT will be fine. |

Hey 2th DR Awesome! I have to say the DSSD is my daily wearer but when I want to break it up and go bold the GMT is the answer. It's a great combo. BTW I am a 2th DR also:) |
