GMT TT 126711CHNR - up close

Interesting to note how low 'Swiss Made' is printed on the dial - it's underneath as opposed to over the 28 to 32 ticks.

It's almost sat directly on the rehaught.

I love the way the brown & black colours meet at the 6 & 18 hour markers - so subtle it's beautiful.

I really am blown away by the colour scheme on this watch - Rolex really hit a home run on this for me.

It looks even better in the flesh than it does in pictures.

I will enjoy this one for a long time to come.

Cheers

Great pics! Interesting obersavation regarding the “Swiss made” writing.

This is the only 2 tone model I could see myself owning.

Thanks - I never noticed myself until I took these pics.

May be interesting to investigate if it's in the same position on all the new dials with the crown at 6 o'clock.

Cheers

I"m not a yellow/rose gold guy. Generally only SS for me with he exception of one WG I have, BUT, I agree Rolex hit a home run with this watch, basically a modern Root Beer. I have plans to eventually buy one- if I can ever find a decent deal- and put it on 'just' the right color brown strap. That will take the bling of the two-tone bracelet away but still enjoy the root beer float... Congrats, great watch.

I wish the CHNR would look so warm and mellow in open daylight.

Thanks - but honestly, the rose gold doesn't feel 'bling' at all.

Nope, never scroll down that far :-) Strap is from Molequin, in case someone wonders.

IMHO the "Swiss Made" was printed that way on all the new movement ( 3255, 3285 ) watches to be easy identified.
