I really want to see it in person myself.

Excellent question. That’s why I went to take a look. It does look really great in person. Like the other ceramic vessels it changes a lot depending on lighting conditions. The gray tone will vary substantially. Outside of the boutique lighting I think the gray would appear more subtle. I already have Pepsi, Batman, Lefty and a sky dweller. I’m hoping my next allocations are a stainless steel black face Daytona and a 41 celebration. So for now I’m passing on this GMT. It’s something I’d like to add in a couple of years.

Great to know thanks. Looking forward to seeing your next addition, best of luck.

The grey makes me think of printing something when the ink cartridge is running out

Looks good in your pics. I saw the TT version and like it but the gray was understated and needed to be held at a slight angle to see the contrast.

I’ve always thought gmt should be true bi colour bezel but I must admit this does look good. Could be a true “one and done” watch for so many. And the jubilee looks really good. Kind of reminds me of the new bb monochrome and highlights that although (as far as I’m aware) there has never been a sub on jubilee, it would also look neat.

The green GMT hand should have been gray.

I agree! Seeing this model with the old green hand looks odd and out of place. I would buy the 126713 in a heartbeat, but not this version with the green hand.

At first I thought the green hand and text were a bit odd. My initial impression was the accent should be red. After spending some time with the watch I felt like the red was n obvious choice but the green makes a clear connection to Rolex. It certainly is a watch that could be a the one and only in a collection. Very handsome.

I think it looks great on the jubilee. The only watch I would give up my batgirl for. Hmmm....

Finally a GMT bezel colour combo I like.

That looks great, but as someone else has noted the TT version is a proper stunner.

I’ve seen both in AD’s & they definitely caught my eye.

A very good-looking watch. I'm a buyer, if the time ever comes.

I believe this is the best GMT Rolex has released

love the new steel version - I've been waiting for the gold/steel version since it was released, tried on the full gold version - absolutely stunning, but 34K prices me out of owning it

I am calling mine "London", not "Wayne", because typically the nights here are black and days are grey )))!!

Too true!

Thanks for sharing. I have the TT GRNR and just love it. Personally, I prefer it over the SS model. For me, the SS model looks a little dull for my taste, but that's just me.

For those questioning the bezel, it looks great in person. It changes a lot depending on the light.

Apologies to those who like it, but I always think the grey section just looks a bit plasticky somehow. The original 116700LN is still nicer looking IMO.

The two-two definitely ties the watch together. Not a fan of the stainless steel version. BLRO forever.
