New GMT-Master II - A Closer Look

[pelue]

Hi Folks,

after owning the new GMT for about a week now without wearing it for more than a couple of minutes I was exploring a bit more into detail of this fantastic watch.

After years and years with various GMTs (16710 and 16750) I was a little skeptical about the new approach of Rolex. But to be honest it has improved in a lot of details.

After removing hundreds of protection films from the case, bracelet and clasp I even found today two ones left on the clasp.

Overall it is a fantastic watch with no doubt in its adequate technical evolution. Time will tell if it will appeal me in the way the old GMT does.

Very nice, thanks :gut:

In my opinion, the Ceramic GMTII is the most beautiful watch Rolex has in it's collection at the moment.

Don't be too upset about scraches in your bracelet :D :D

As I already told you: for me the best Rolex on the market at the moment! :dr:

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and photos on this fantastic watch.

Were it not for getting my 16710-3186, I'd probobly get one of these watches. Not because it's better than the 16710 - it isn't. It is, in my mind a different watch altogether than the venerable Pepsi watch:

As much as I like the SS version of this watch (it really is sharp) I always step back from having another black dial/bezel, stainless steel watch with polished links in the collection.

Instead, I think I will (eventually) pick up the TT version which I really did fall in love with when I tested it:

Can anyone please tell me the exact height of the new GMT in mm? Thx

12mm, same as the 16710, which is accomplished by a thicker case, but flatter caseback.
