Lugs definitely look slimmer than the old supercase GMT - looks great

Seriously, that is insane mark up

Can you truly get it shipped the day you buy or do you need to wait till they get one in stock?

Thanks for sharing! In all seriousness, Was the Rainbow Daytona on hand? This watch is going to be impossible to find based on conversations with several ADs.

Thanks for sharing.

The SS Pepsi looks much better in the group short IMHO, real red and blue!

I was there as well, what a fun event. Here are a couple of my pictures.

SS BLRO - I didn’t want to like this watch as I was really hoping for the coke and thought the Pepsi was a bit overplayed. The watch is amazing in the flesh though and a new must have.

Rootbeer GMT - I thought I was going to hate this watch, but it was the standout of the night. Everyone I spoke with seemed to really like it. The everrose model was particularly eye catching.

WG GMT - the watch everyone wants to hate. I think the new blue dial is quite striking. Jury’s still out on this one I suppose. Interestingly, they haven’t changed the lugs on this watch, whereas the lugs on the SS BLRO and Rootbeer models are new and slenderized. I asked an associate about the rumor that you can swap the black dial on old BLROs for the new blue dial and he looked at me like I had 3 heads. Just a rumor, according to him.

WG DD40 with meteorite dual and diamond baguettes- an associate pointed this watch out to me as her favorite, less popularized release. I’ve got to agree - wow!

Rainbow Daytona - MIA. Really wanted to see this one. Maybe it was hidden in the back?

All in all, a fantastic evening. Saw some amazing watches: platinum 5711 40th anniversary and a 6538 Submariner being amongst the coolest.
