I started my hunt in my home country, even went as far as Italy to get one but got cold feet as the seller seemed to behave suspiciously so didn’t go ahead with the purchase. I eventually spoke to my AD and they even alerted their preowned department to keep an eye as well as some independent dealers they know. Eventually they got in contact and offered me a preowned one but did also state that there was one that they knew had minimum wrist time as they had been in touch with one of their regular customers who rotates their watches frequently in order to find their next purchase. Anyway, long story short...I’ve finally have one and have just had it hand delivered by them (very good of them with everything that is going on in the world during this time) and I couldn’t have been happier!








For me, my GMT collection is complete as I’ve got all the Maxi Case ones that I would want to have. Yes, I could add a Blue or original black dial WG Pepsi but I’ve got the one WG variant I like the most. Was now waiting to see if another GMT release would be added to the line up but looks as though we’re going to have to wait a few months or potentially next January...who knows at this rate!

Green dial GMT is a stunner. If only one day Rolex makes a SS green dial GMT or at least a SS black dial paired with a black and green bezel GMT. A man can dream.
