I think it is a cheeky play on the love of faded vintage bezels.

This is a contrast of what you could have if it was an old aluminum bezel instead of ceramic. And it works perfectly on the GMT only, thanks to the day/night distinction. It has a bit of a ghost vibe on the bottom half.

What do you think? Not totally convinced... ...  

Agreed!!!

:)))

Same opinion…

 
 By: Greenwatch : April 9th, 2024-07:35
Love the green GMT hand!

I like it

 
 By: Blue and White : April 9th, 2024-07:45
If I can choose, I still go for the BLNR though. Anyone knows if the Pepsi version is offered anymore?

To be checked...

It is. All previous GMT seem to remain in the collection

Thanks, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-08:04

This is hardly attractive to me. Sorry.

 
 By: gup502 : April 9th, 2024-07:51
Maybe handing the real thing will change my mind, but why the green and the bezel colour combination?

The Coke went to tudor

 
 By: chk : April 9th, 2024-13:50
And became coke zero? To each his own, chk

LOL. :)))

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-15:08

I like it.

 
 By: GWIS : April 9th, 2024-07:55
I'm sure this will be one of those watches which looks better in the metal (like the Sprite, for me). All the best, Jon

Uninspiring in my view

 
 By: nasseriq : April 9th, 2024-07:58

Is that all ?

 
 By: jlux : April 9th, 2024-08:15
This drives the Rolex design laziness to new heights.

LOL! :)

Mon ami

Starting to get boring here with 2024 releases. This gmt reminds me of the all black bezel version. No difference. Should’ve changed the GMT hand to some other color at least. Feels too similar to the first version. So no coke…and the coke went to Tudor h... 

+1

 
 By: ArmisT : April 9th, 2024-08:47

This is the best new rolex release

 
 By: andrea~ : April 9th, 2024-08:31
Not because it's really good, but because the rest were incredibly boring. This is just a small step above the others.

Hehehe... ;)

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-08:41

Subtle, I quite like it

 
 By: vincentdae : April 9th, 2024-08:34
to be seen in the metal but the green details really pop

I understand very well.

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-10:01

Not with this - or the others to be totally honest.

 
 By: Timeout : April 9th, 2024-08:44
The day-date looks quite attractive - but nothing out of the ordinary to me and the other releases are kind of “quirky”. I’ll see if I can try some on over the next couple of days. I have the BLNR on an oyster. The way I see it is that if this had already... 

Agreed!

 By: PaddyP : April 9th, 2024-08:45
I quite like it, more understated. Also liked the previous black 116710 with the green GMT hand.

 
 By: PaddyP : April 9th, 2024-10:30
Nice to compliment that grey black matte dial 1675

Hahaha!!! ;)

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-10:34

Not a fan,

 
 By: clemens m : April 9th, 2024-09:02
seems really bland and pale to me, like 99% of all W&W novelties so far...

I see, my friend.

To be seen in person...

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-11:24

I made an appointment to see it in 2028 with my local boutique.

 
 By: chocomallo : April 9th, 2024-11:39
They told me there will be a 3% chance it will be available for viewing. I paid a 10% deposit for the appointment. The deposit was the equivalent of the present value of the watch in 2032 when I get the call from the waiting list, I think? I am wondering ... 

ROFL! Too good! ;)

“Pre-faded”, like jeans

Too funny! ;)

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-11:44

At least Rolex didn't go with "vintage" lume plots?

 
 By: chocomallo : April 9th, 2024-11:45
I fancy the watch, but I think if I was to choose a recent GMT, I'd go full rose gold.

And me the Meteorite!

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-11:59

LOL! You! ;)

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-12:16

I like it.

 
 By: gary_g : April 9th, 2024-12:50
It’s a stainless steel gmt. So it’s great at baseline. This version is def more subtle which is why I personally love it. But then again I love every Rolex gmt.

Not sure what to say..

 
 By: S F : April 9th, 2024-12:59
The R&D now seems to be just mixing colors.

Yep. Agreed.

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-13:37

Not doing it for me, either…

 
 By: OldFashionedMatt : April 9th, 2024-15:31
I am dating myself here, but it looks like a bad Xerox…

LOLOL!

The toner’s low!

Hahaha! ;)

 By: OldFashionedMatt : April 9th, 2024-22:57

Gloomy grey.

 
 By: hora12reborn : April 9th, 2024-20:34

To say the least.

 
 By: amanico : April 9th, 2024-20:36

If you look at the black bezel at certain angle, you get the grey look as well.🤣

 
 By: iceheller 1945 ✌️ : April 10th, 2024-00:39
But Rolex is rolex as they are good at what they do. That is milking us! 😅

Totally underwhelmed

 
 By: Miranda : April 10th, 2024-10:29

I love GMT Masters. However…

 
 By: gregcarraram3 : April 10th, 2024-23:58
I think this was a lazy effort. I like the black ceramic bezel and green hand and wording on the older model. I simply do not get this. A green and black bezel to be worn on the left hand, yes. An all green bezel, yes. An all blue bezel with blue GMT hand...
