They are weird, but in a good way. I didn't get the bracelet for mine, because I had read that they don't fit small wrists, but it looks amazing.

how does this wear? I've heard that is it big and heavy, but its gotta be smaller and lighter than the EXPII I would imagine
I had one and it wore pretty well for me. Mine was on the cloth strap, so I imagine the bracelet makes it wear heavier. And the beveling added to both sides of the undercase does a surprisingly good job of lessening the "slab effect" that I've found to be present with other black bay models.

I also had the 42mm Exp II, but it was so long ago I don't think I can do a fair comparison. I do remember thinking the Exp II looked cartoonishly large on my wrist, mostly because of the size of the dial and hands. Not so with the BB GMT.
I agree with Jeff, Mike. It's not a light watch (then again heavy watches don't bother me at all), but don't find it heavier feeling than a lot of others. Bracelet does add some weight (this is the BB non-faux-rivet bracelet) which is quite nice (though not on-the-fly adjustable).

My wrist is not big ~6.3/4 (though flat) and I don't find it wears big at all.

It's not thin, but I don't find it overly thick and it sits down well for me (I *am* sensitive to overly thick watches and this one is no problem). Yes, it would be nice if it was 2mm thinner, but still fine for me.

My EXP II is probably one of my largest wearing 42mm watches, especially on the bracelet, though wears considerably smaller on straps. I think this definitely wears smaller than the EXP II.

:cheers:
Thank you both, very helpful :cheers:

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that gets bored and takes watch pictures in the McDonald’s drive through.

Wearing this one today.

I've honestly been thinking of selling several of my other watches, Shogun included and anything else with the 6R movement, and just spend more time with this one.

They don't make a Titanium MM300 to my knowledge, but that would be killer if they did.
