Agree completely, totally awful... However, I respectfully request more pics to keep me from making a deposit!

I am a huge fan of GMT and WT's. Last year I sold my Daytona and 116655 and was thus out of Rolex in the collection. I needed a watch to travel with for a month and thought let me get the BLNR as it's GMT and the Pilot watch not like the 5524 upstart!! Well I leave it to Pilots as I find the BLNR truly difficult to read from a second time zone perspective. The marker blends into the hour indicators so you truly have to look for it...it can't be done at a glance that's for sure!!! Maybe a different colour would have helped. The lume isn't great either and thus us where the 5524 bears the Rolex hands down. Afraid the upstart had it in my books and I have both do it's a balanced view!!! Would I wear the 5524 to gym like the BLNR or swim with it? No!!! But the 5524 is better as a GMT

I had a chance to try one on in the dealer in Zurich today. It was a sample watch so not for sale but it was absolutely perfect! Congratulations.

The strap on that watch is soft as butter. Had it on at a Patek exhibit.
