I went to the AD today (took my watch off) to look at the bentley GT. Well they onl had the newer GT in stock with only the mid-links polished. But I took a look at the date font and it wasn't even red like my rep! But it was dark brown! Now is it because it's a newer version or is the font supposed to be dark brown?
All the pics online that Ive seen show it as dark brown and not red at all like on our reps. any comments about this?

I believe that was one of the changes to the newer model "change in color of date font".
1.) Brushed & Polished Links on Bracelet
2.) Different Caseback Engraving
3.) Change to date font color

There may be others, but those 3 I knew about.

Cheers,

not the same red

I have looked at plenty of GTs (old and new models) and the color is the biggest difference next to the bezel insert. On our reps the font color is almost a cherry red whereas the gen is a deep red to the brownish red that you have seen

You're right I compared some Gen pictures of the new and old model and the date fonts are not bright red like the rep.
Picture attached of the "old" model Gen (all shiny / nothing brushed)

Still think it is a great Rep, I will post pictures as soon as my AR project is complete on it.

Cheers,
M
