Me too. There are pics here on TRF clearly showing the "AR ghost". No way I could live with that.

I like it very much! Definitely gives it more of a classic tool watch look...Which is what I prefer!

I thought the standard GMT IIC was the best looking Rolex but this is PERFECTION!

Looks much more like a tool watch now, great job. All it needs now is a Glidelock clasp

I guess if it rocks your boat, and I mean worst case it's reversible, so glad you're enjoying your watch! Wear in good health!

I am clearly in the minority, I prefer the original version. But, it's your watch all that matters is that you like it. Enjoy!
