Here are a few more pics for you...

Yes Dnf888 it was at the Botanical Gardens in Brum..Did you go?

Ok here is my very biased review...

I was never into TT Rolexes until I got my Sky Dweller 326933 last year. You definitely have to see the watches in the flesh to make an informed decision as the pictures on the Rolex site don't do them justice. My Rolex collection consists of both TT and non TT watches so I don't really have a preference either way.

I like the Stainless Steel Pepsi but I'm not a huge fan of the jubilee bracelet. Once I saw the Oyster Steel and Everose Gold version I was sold. Having said that I am on the list for the stainless steel model too but I can wait for that one (not too long though....)

I already have a TT Rose gold and chocolate face Datejust41 so I already had an idea of what this watch would look like in the flesh but its got far more pop than I expected. Everose seems to be the in thing at the moment and combined with the black dial and black and brown bezel I think it gives it a more dressy feel.

This is my first GMT and hopefully not my last and I am well chuffed to be one of the first people to get one so soon after Baselworld.

Good luck to those who are on the list for this watch. Hope you get yours soon. I'm sure you won't regret... Its a Rolex at the end of the day and who doesn't love a nice new Rolex

I have a funny feeling I may have seen that watch on the night. With a very pleased owner his wife and their two friends :-)

Is the SD43 consigned to the sock draw now ??

Pant draw ???? Nice to see the extra security over the dock draw then.

I had completely ignored the TT model until I saw it in the flesh but I have to say I would be torn now if both the SS and TT GMT were put in front of me and I was made to pick one for purchase.

It does look great mate.

Well snapped up! Make sure you keep on to it, I'm sure greys will only offer retail anyway.

Got that excited at getting my new watch that I forgot to really look at any of the new Baselworld collection.



I just made the most of the free flowing champagne.



This is Rolex number 6 but if you see my wife then I only have 3

Great for you! The Everose/Brown bezel contrast is very elegant. You made a lot of people envious with this post friend
