Fantastic watch! How noticeable is that extra 80g on the wrist?

Without exaggeration its almost like wearing another watch at the same time.
I can't see a leather strap equipped 39mm steel dress watch weighing much more than 80g so yes, the weight of two watches lol

I think this one has gone top of my favourites list. Its a stealth bomber of watches. My rosegold rootbeer almost draws too much attention and I often find myself trying to hide it when I'm wearing it.

Unless you're a Rolex guy, this one just looks like a steel GMT from afar.

When you get near it you realise it has almost a champagne whiteness to it and somehow the polished areas are even more mirror like than the steel pieces.

When held it just feels immense. Top draw and a wolf in sheeps clothing.

A lot has been said about the blue dial. I think its absolutely wonderful and one of the reasons I was sold on this watch. I'd call the blue almost an airforce blue. Not dark enough to be mistaken for black. And not the in-your-face blue found on the smurf (no offence to smurf owners). Its spot on in my view.

I think there's a lot of milage to this watch. Because of the blue it can be worn casually with jeans etc, but due to the sheen and the level of finish it can also be used as a dress watch IMO.

Big thanks to Finwatch and his great pick up thread. This is your fault brother lol.















Time for the stickers to come off.





Finally for those that have never had a PM watch. See below the weight difference between this and the BLRO.





Congrats, Bro!! Incredible watch, I must say, very unique, very classy in a stylish way. Guess which watch I am wearing right now...🕺
Thank you for your excellent review!

Congrats Eric

Congrats on the new watch! Also the RG GMT looks great. I'm almost certain that will be my next piece, just wish I could see it in person sometime.

That Pepsi is exquisite. I am liking the white gold models more and more - the gold are so amazing but can be sometimes too noticeable to the wrong people. Then again I work in corporate America so that’s probably part of the issue haha,
