The GT logo is on the back, etched in the DLC plate. As noted in the article, the numerals use the GT typeface too.I honesty don't understand what the watch has to do with Gran Turismo - the GT logo is only present in the packaging, but not the watch itself.
The watch also doesn't radiate GT to me.
The DLC plate? So not the watch itself, then?The GT logo is on the back, etched in the DLC plate.
We have, and have 😁Can we see the QR code, we need to verify this story
No, on the plate on the back of the watch:The DLC plate? So not the watch itself, then?
LOL my brain immediately thought of DownLoadable Content rather than diamond-like carbon. That's why I asked.No, on the plate on the back of the watch
There's little to no operational justification for a watch above £15. If people want to spend their money on a Bulgari, so be it.$4600 for a basic chronograph with an off the shelf $400 movement in it.
It doesn't even look nice, like Hublot, Bulgari is just a fashion brand, nothing special.
I certainly wouldn't waste my money on that!.

I agree, my point is, for that kind of money or less you can buy a much higher quality watch from a proper watch brand like Omega, Tudor or Breitling etc with an in house designed & manufactured movement.There's little to no operational justification for a watch above £15.

I would literally have zero surprise, the way things have been going...

Bulgari started out as, and still is primarily, a luxury jewellery brand that just happened to start making (some nice) watches.Akshually ...
Bulgari is not just a luxury brand but also a 'proper' watchmaker - just check out their other offerings (Octo line). They do some really tricked out ultra-thin movements too. I'd say in that technical regard they are well beyond Tudor or Breitling (is Breitling even doing inhouse at all? I thought they were just buying 3rd party ones and then tweaking/decorating them).
As for this watch here, doesn't look like much to me. The price is in line with what other brands are charging for chronographs though, so at least within watch nerd circles it would probably not count as a total ripoff. Just coming with less brand power than the ones you listed. Least they could have done is to include a deployant buckle. But then again this thing is purely a collector's item and will never be worn, will it.
