The sleeper piece of the event was your Daytona from 2 Basels ago

Seriously, I left the event wanting another Daytona even more despite not being a new release! Alex's black dial SS was a stunner in person (also gave me the opportunity to inject a teenage "that's what she said" joke ), and the WG OF also has a very strong pull with me.

The end link protrudes a tad from the case, and the end link just doesn't "flow" as well with the shape of the case as I'm used to on Oyster bracelet models.



Again, I can appreciate why many love the BLRO, but it's just not my own cup of tea!


Hmm. I guess it’s hard to tell how big of a deal this is...

All end links protrude from the case. That’s what makes them end links!

Not past the lugs, as on the other GMTs where they look to run parallel. The Jub endlink is shorter.

Hardly.......other than the fact that they are "hard to get", there's nothing that special about them.........from a strictly aesthetic standpoint, a true Panda or white dial Zenith is way better looking. To each their own.......enjoy!!

This is Random but I’m a huge DJ fan and I can’t wait to see the redesigned 36mm DJ case. I’m really interested in how the bezel lays on the watch now.

You captured the pink and purple colors of the bezel on the pepsi perfectly. Agree that the RG GMT is looking better and better. Also, love that meteorite DD40.

Thanks for the great photos and the comments, I haven’t been able to make my AD’s evening and would be grateful for your thoughts regarding choosing between GMTs

I am a typical magpie(like shinny things) and love the 116718 with green dial but i just am terrified of wearing it outside the house as it brings too much unwanted attention, does the 126715CHNR work better in this regard ?And if you had to choose just one GMT between the CHNR GMTs or the blue dial BLRO GMT what would it be and if possible please give some reasoning, thanks in advance

Matt

First and last time you’ll ever see a Rolex cabinet full of all their watches.

Incredible preview of all the new introductions.
Thank you.
Did they mention release dates on any of the models?

My heavens, the BLRO in white gold with blue dial is stunning. My favorite of the 2018 releases.
