AD got the new GMT for exhibition. It’s not as bad as I thought…

I still prefer my Batman though.

That looks very nice! I think it’ll be a bit of a future classic.

Not only does the BLNR look better, but so does the all black version they discontinued a few years back.

Its a shame they don't dich all this ceramic bezel stuff and go back to the cheap DIY change aluminium inserts, then expect you could get all colours never was a fan of ceramic.

I like it but prefer it on the Jubilee. This is probably my next Rolex purchase.

It is a bit boring for a GMT. However, I do like the subtle green touches here and there. Would love to see one under direct sunlight in person - I suspect that grey will look really good.

I suppose it could be worse ..

But not a lot worse.

Why choose such a drab boring look.

Instead of trying (and failing) to make a good looking watch why didn't Rolex attempt to fix some of the problems they have with their existing Oyster range of watches that have a pretty rubbish 32xx movement inside.

“Not as bad as I thought” is hardly a ringing endorsement! I think that tells us a lot.

These aren’t doing it for me though I’m warming to a lightly used 16710 with an assortment of bezels.

Rolex has proven they could create anything, and it would sell out. This is a perfect example.

Lol.

Oh I’m sure they’ve ironed out the wrinkles on the newest production units.

At first I didn't like it, but after seeing regular in-person pics from other TRF members, I actually rather like it. Only wish the 24h hand/text was in a different color other than green to differentiate it from the prior all black GMT. I've been waiting for a BLNR for over 3 years but would gladly consider the GRNR which I bet looks much better in person. Cheers

Inferiority complex and low self esteem. Can't understand that a major brands make products for anyone other than them. Center of the universe syndrome. Poor guy, must be a miserable.
