Collected it earlier soonest I could from the AD. Let me state upfront that I'm not a die hard fan of Rolex. But I found myself wanting to wear it daily for the past few days. I'm pleased with it. Unusual with its 2 color bezel but not too loud. The innovation of the Rolex patented bezel is the reason I decided to buy it. Of cos the fact that I don't have a GMT II is another main consideration. I'm unlikely to get it had I have a Rolex GMT. Any regret getting it? Not at all. The small discount given by the AD sweeten the deal ;p In fact, I would probably kick myself for not picking it up (especially with the another kind gesture by the AD for me to jump the queue).

A few photos taken using iphone. Thanks for looking.

Fits comfortably. The bezel is lively & looks great including the thin layer of platinum on the numerals.

Not too thick for me.

On way out for dinner. Goes well with jeans, no?

Nice! I meant both the sushi & the watch ;p

For a definitive opinion on this one, but I know that I will own, one day, a modern GMT with this ceramic insert. The depth the ceramic gives to the Watch is stunning. And your live shots help us to understand that. Thank you! Best, Nicolas

The black-blue contrast brings out the life of the ceramic bezel. Melvin

Congratulations. Its one I enjoyed a lot when I had the chance to wear. Always good to hear how an owner thinks of a purchase.

Though some may feel that the contrast wasn't great enough. Melvin

Great choice and it looks great on you indeed. I think it goes nicely with blue jeans or any white shirts too. The color combination of the bezel is perfect iMO and I love it. I also don't have a gmt yet so this may be something I will get next time (although for Rolex, I also like the blue dial platinum bezel yatchmaster). Cheers and hope to meet you soon (and see your new baby in person) Cheers Robin Wong
