New Incoming beauty.

With regard to the new Baselworld pieces, all the limelight seems to have been taken by the new steel Pepsi and whilst its a great watch, personally I fell in love with the new root beer GMT's.

I really liked the TT root beer when I saw it at a Rolex event in London a few months ago, I even tried one for a few weeks with the stickers intact.



However, in my heart of hearts the all PM rose gold was calling my name so after several weeks of waiting, this beauty is finally here and here it is in all its glory with the final stickers removed last night

I've ordered all three of the new Baselworld GMT's, inc the Pepsi.

I actually bought the TT version as that arrived first. I really liked it and wore it for a few days with all stickers intact. Unfortunately holding the all PM version in my hands at the Rolex event got me hooked lol

So when the all PM version arrived I gave the TT back to the AD at retail (didn't flip), which they appreciated.

Pepsi should be here shortly, but my priority was the all PM. Very hard to describe how special it feels until you hold it/try it on. Just amazing.

What's not amazing is the fact that I always need an extra link due to my wrists being quite large and the fact that I like to wear my watches on the loose side.

The only pieces I don't need a link for is the sub-date and the SD43. £65-70 on most of the S/S pieces so not too bad.

Gulp, £650 on this one

such a gorgeous watch Eric, I was offered the PM two weeks ago from Goldsmiths but I went the other way and waited for the TT GMT.

enjoy your watch :)

The full RG does look fantastic, I'd be tempted if my RG Nautilus wasn't so similarly styled.
