Lots of talk about the Daytona (obviously) and the clowndial OP, plus a few mentions of the new Exp 40, the SkyDewller and YM42, but nothing (AFAICT) about the new black and grey bezel GMTs.

Not surprised really as they look awful!

That said, I think the option of the TT and full YG Jubliees are the big news there.

kwingy · 27 March 2023, 07:15 PM

Just think you have to be a big fan of YG to really like them. The old 116713LN was just never popular.

rmlovett1 · 27 March 2023, 07:17 PM

I personally love the YG with jubilee

I'd actually love it if it didn't have the grey section on the bezel. All black and I would be singing its praises. The grey just looks washed out to me. (At least it does in pictures. Maybe better IRL)

harvey · 27 March 2023, 07:21 PM

…the black/grey bezel is 100% better than the black/brown one.

WastedYears · 27 March 2023, 07:30 PM

The black/grey bezel looked really terrible in Wei Koh's live stream this morning.

travisb · 27 March 2023, 07:31 PM

Would have preferred an all black bezel.

rolexgs · 27 March 2023, 07:34 PM

I think the yellow gold gmt on jubilee looks cool！

Manamana · 27 March 2023, 07:37 PM

Ugly. The Rootbeer is still the King

I quite like them but the TT looks quite "harsh" to me. Stark.

Purposeful, yes, almost brutal in a sense. But its not an elegant or classy watch in any way like the TT SD or Sub.

To be honest I think its the Jubilee bracelet. Works so well on the SS but not so much on the TT with YG (to my eyes)

Maybe its the pictures/renders. Might be nicer in the metal.

mongrelnomoad · 27 March 2023, 08:38 PM

WTF is up with that grey? It looks like the colour didn’t take…

JRell · 27 March 2023, 08:39 PM

I’ll wait until they update the case and make the lugs smaller, thinking next year.

I dont see what the gray is.
Pardon my ignorance but please point me to it.

JJGreen · 27 March 2023, 08:55 PM

The gold GMT is probably my favorite release in 2023, including all brands. To large and heavy for me. I wear a 1675 from the 1960's. But I think it looks awesome.

The lower half of the GMT bezel isn’t black, it’s grey.

yes, it looks amazing！

alphadweller · 27 March 2023, 08:58 PM

Pass, that's some ugly half grey bezel. I think I even prefer that half marroon bezel from the Rootbeer.

Coke, Pepsi, Batman or Triple Black. VTNR at a push (if they made it RHD).

IMHO, YMMV.

They’ve already done this with the transition from 116710 to 126710. The lugs are thinner and at a different angle on the 12 series.

Same. I think it’s stunning.

The half-gray bezel is an interesting choice. In theory, might have preferred all black, but reserving judgment til I see it in the metal (assuming that’s ever possible etc).

I used to think that, but they didn’t do it enough. All I saw was lugs on my BLNR after my new sub, it needs an update.

steve099 · 27 March 2023, 09:11 PM

I am not a fan of YG in general but I placed an order for the full YG GMT this evening. Its a stunner and will make a nice addition to my collection.

If the Day Date clown came in a 40mm i would have ordered that as well. Another awesome model IMHO.

jjnd08 · 27 March 2023, 09:17 PM

Not a fan. It looks like they tried to force vintage design elements on a modern case. I was hoping for a jubilee on the current rootbeer.

DLRIDES · 27 March 2023, 09:21 PM

[QUOTE=fskywalker;12685660]Nice looking indeed!

The Whispering Pines Rest Home called…………. they want the watch back !

1William · 27 March 2023, 09:22 PM

Cool watch but I will go for the full YG on the Jubilee.

KenV · 27 March 2023, 09:48 PM

Is the bracelet and case really darker than standard or are they just playing with the lighting?

dannyp · 27 March 2023, 09:50 PM

Like the new bezel. A lot actually. Was hoping my OF prediction would be right; would have looked better IMO.

Full-PM Jubilee looks nice, too. What would have been really nice would be a gilt dial, all-steel version w/this bezel.

H25B · 27 March 2023, 09:51 PM

Again, no Coke bezel.
