Seiko have poor quality control even at the 1k+ mark. This is a £300 watch too really. I like it bug wouldn't pay more than 300, I bet it be long until you can pick up a superclone of this for £100-£300 and be on par with the legit item. Hell, you can make better watch than this at home by sourcing parts for £300.Or you can buy a high quality Japanese watch from Citizen or Seiko for $300.00
I love the look of the watch but the price is ridiculous. Perhaps I like it as it reminds me of my 25 year old Titanium Festina chronograph that I loved and wore every day until I cheated on it and went out with an Apple Watch instead....This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
Bulgari’s Gran Turismo Watch Costs $4,800
The “Bulgari Aluminium Vision GT” concept car and its accompanying real-world watch were revealed at the GT World Series Finals in Barcelona last weekend, but the announcement was fairly light on details. Over the past few days, more specific information about the watch’s price and availability has now become known...
With these fashion house collabs in GT7, I hope PD will send someone to scan Ralph Lauren's garage next.
Ralph has some incredible iron, to be sure.
Came to say the above. I'm sure we'll never see the Type 57 Atlantic but I can dream . . .Popular cars from Ralph Lauren’s garage include the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic and Mercedes SSK Count Trossi Roadster.
Should be either a Jeep or a broke-down IROC.Waiting for the Crocs VGT.
Oh, my Shelby has a first name . . . it's O-S-C-A-R . . .im holding out for the Oscar Mayer VGT
Accurate picture of me last night when I saw the price. I will not be getting this watch.
I can't find any reference to what the movement is though on their webpage (unless I'm missing it).Seems to only be a $50 markup on their non-GT branded one. It's actually not a bad price for an automatic movement watch, even if it's something I'd never buy.
Caliber: B381I can't find any reference to what the movement is though on their webpage (unless I'm missing it).

I'm assuming it's in house?
It should use the B77, which is a slightly modified version of the ETA 2892 movement, since that's what the Bulgari Aluminium uses.Thanks for that.
My initial guess was that it would be based on an ETA movement but it very well be in house as it seems Bvlgari do also do in house so it could be. 👍
Continuing with the watch derailment of this thread, I pulled out my Grandfather's Omega watch which was passed down to me when I was 18.Honestly, I'm more interested in the Bulgari VGT car than the watch itself, it give me some 70's concept car vibes. I guess it will be at the LCD for some time like happened with the Dior's Mangusta. Talking about watches....

This is my grandpa's Certina from the early 50's. When he died, I inherited the watch and got it restored. On the 'to do' list is a leather strap (this one was put in the 80s when the original was worn out) I send some pictures to Certina to identify which model is.

Can I hire you as my financial advisor?That's the equivalent of 561,601,000 GT credits.
I don't know why I worked that out.
The Loch Ness Monster should endorse this watch. You know this creature is an easter egg at Trial Mountain, right?
That's the equivalent of 561,601,000 GT credits.
I don't know why I worked that out.
Before you hire @watto79 you may want to see how long that took and what the charge is. I'd love to calculate the FTE on that . . .Can I hire you as my financial advisor?
