    You won't see any pictures from me, as it had sold out before I got round to ordering one :(

    As soon as the next batch is available, I'll be getting one.

    I was just staring at your pic on my desktop (for the last ten minutes). It looks like one of those watches that is more than the sum of its parts. Very well balanced and very modern.

    Need to resize (significantly!) the bracelet on mine and I'm travelling until the weekend so no pics until Saturday from me. I can testify though that its a lovely watch, quality look and feel with a nicely balanced dial. I've got number 24.

    Can you get a pic next to something we know for a bit of perspective?

    What do you mean by set? In synch with the main hands?

    I keep mine (on a different watch) with the 24H hand tracking the sun, up at midday and down at midnight. A sort-of, DIY day/night.

    Re: Where all the pics of the GMT Speedbird

    Really quite envious of all you guys in the UK taking delivery of your SBIII GMT's and got me thinking - mine is winging it's way over to Canada and I know one is being re-packaged to go down under, I know one of them has gone to Germany - where else overseas have they/will they turn up :?:

    Re: Where all the pics of the GMT Speedbird

    Number 36 just arrived and initial impressions (in the excitement, I've looked at it for two whole minutes prior to posting this) are very good.

    A couple of quick pics below:

    Re: Where all the pics of the GMT Speedbird

    Does anyone have a pic of the writing on the back, what does it say exactly?

    Re: Where all the pics of the GMT Speedbird

    It's like the one on the SBIII, only model-name and movement are different.

    Sure.

    Re: Where all the pics of the GMT Speedbird

    A quick and dirty. Worst possible time to take it as the GMT hand is set to PST and therefore hidden under the hour hand :roll:

    SBIII GMT #007 (special request to Mr Platts - thanks again Eddie :) ) arrived safely in Calgary today (and with no import charges - WOOHOO :!: :!: ) but at the moment I am in the middle of moving into my new house and don't really have time to take any photos right now, but I promise that I will when the move is complete. Very impressed with the quality of the bracelet (but have had a SBIII before, so didn't expect anything less :wink: ) and love the size, dial etc etc.........you've all heard it before :)

    No pics yet (but you get the idea by now :lol: ) but no. 28 has made it all the way from Sheffield to North Yorkshire. Bracelet has been resized to my sparrow wrists but the watch it still looking damn good :drunken:

    Very pleased to have picked one of these up as my original SB3 is the only watch that gave me seller's remorse.
