WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- Local luxury car and wine connoisseurs gathered at Shadowbrook Winery in anticipation of the Bentley GT Convertible unveiling. Over wine and appetizer pairings, guests admired a wide selection of the Bentley line, including the Bentayga SUV. The dramatic unveiling involved frosted glass, mood lighting and champagne. As the baby blue GT convertible was revealed, car enthusiasts flooded toward the shiny automobile, to test its bucket seats and inspect notable detailings at a closer range. Truly a car worthy of the Bentley collection.
It's fitted to a matching leather link strap, and that strap attaches to the case via two metal end links. Looking at it reminds me of yet another luxury stainless steel number – The Vacheron Constantin Overseas. I mean, kudos to link D1 Milano. If link you're going to take design cues from other brands, why not go for the best.
The Balancier 3 invited in people who'd maybe admired from link afar but hadn't yet been link ready to take that leap into link starting their Greubel Forsey collections, he told me. "It proved we could speak in a more dynamic tone and remain true to ourselves.
But the real difference lies with the legendary Eric Haze, who used the watch as his canvas, adding his trademark pattern of stars, arrows, and crowns onto the gloss black IP-finished stainless steel link bracelet through a dot-pattern laser engraving. On the back, you'll find G-Shock's 40th Anniversary logo mark (also designed by Haze) on the screw-lock caseback cover, with a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. All link this comes link in packaging designed by – you guessed it – Eric Haze, and costs $720.
Light blue is link a trendier link pick, though at least it's a few shades away from that other light-blue Patek. It does feel very Patek that, for its "colorful Calatravas," it'd choose the three link primary colors. No reason to spin the color wheel around too far.
Controversially, and like the 925, the 18K has link a display case back. Specific to this watch is a pair of included straps – a brown alligator strap and a green/gold fabric strap, both fitted with matching 18-karat gold hardware. No gold bracelet is offered, and without it, the Black Bay 18K only weighs 103 grams and doesn’t wear all that differently from any other version of the Fifty-Eight, which is not surprising given its similar weight link and link stock mount options.
