New GMT II: My thoughts
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. Melvin 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

Congratulations, Mell. I am very curious to see it in the flesh
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
Glad you find the sharing useful, Nicolas
The black-blue contrast brings out the life of the ceramic bezel. Melvin
always good to hear "live" reviews
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.
I'm glad Rolex decided on this color combination
Though some may feel that the contrast wasn't great enough. Melvin
congrats Melvin! I love the bezel
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 (alth...
You should get this or the YM
to commemorate the arrival of your newborn baby ;p Melvin
Congrats!
Can't wait to see Rolex rolling out the Pepsi and Coke bezel though.. Would be interesting... HAHAHA
Not very soon Melvin.
Why? Because there are a lot of people waiting for it... I will wait for the end of the first wave... ;) Fx
True, but the wait will make the fruit sweeter ;p
That said, I had heard travellers chanced upon this piece at duty free shops. They must have like they striked lottery :) Melvin
Beautiful GMT !
My AD call me and I will go tomorrow to see it in person and is very possible I get it inmediately!. I can not wait. Best
Keep us updated!
This new version seems to be the star of the Rolex 2013 Collection. Best, Nicolas
It is not often that
the new GMT waits for its buyer ;p Yes, do let us know your thoughts after seeing it in person. Melvin
Is Monday 8 of July...
I was waiting all weekend (was out of my city) to see this marvelous piece. As soon as I see it, I fall in love and buy it. I was one of those that prefer to wait for the eventual Pepsi Cerachrome but this one is just MARVELOUS and have the distinction to...
OH Forget to include the photo...

Congrats. This is one of those timepieces that photos
usually don't do justice to. Melvin
Thank you Melvin..
Yes this photo I take while I stop on my car, is a not very good one but I take just to share in this post ;) Is a marvelous piece of work and from now on this watch is "promoted" to be my traveler watch :) Best, Armando
Thank you Nicolas!
Is a beauty and as you saided, this will be the star of Rolex this 2013 !! un abrazo, Armando
Which other one can compete with this one, The new Tudor Heritage, maybe.
I don't see others, personally. Bravo, Armando! Bravo! Nicolas.
I have to say that it is another one which made " tilt " in my head.
But only if I find a Vintage one, to make the pair... ;) Ciao, amigo; Nicolas
